Would it surprise you, dear reader, to hear I've become an unabashed fan of Fleetwood Mac? Yup, the same fella who saw Fugazi at least 20 times, who championed Sleater-Kinney and Clarissa's Wierd and Pig Destroyer, the aging punk you all know in love. I've really grown to love the classic Buckingham/Fleetwood/McVie/McVie/Nicks lineup. I've even uncovered what made the Peter Gren lineup so great. Don't tell the punx.
This is not a grand tribute to one of the greatest selling records of all time. I recognize a few names here: Yeasayer, Liars, Julia Holter. Holter's version of "Gold Dust Woman" is probably my fav track here, and that song will never be topped by Hole's 1996 cover. The rest of the lineup is a melange of American, British, Kiwi, Danish, and Canadian artists who I probably should be a lot more fair to. So let's save the commentary by just noting that I rate this as perfectly cromulent and worth the "free with purchase" that led me to it in the first place.
