Okay, Fleetwood Mac didn't go to my high school. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham went to my rival high school. They met during her senior year and immediately formed The Fritz Rabyne Memorial Band, earning moderate success opening up for Jimi and Janis throughout the late 60s. The couple got romantically involved soon after Fritz broke up in 1971. They dropped out of college, moved to LA, got mono and wrote a lot of songs together.

Here are what I consider the quintessential Lindsey and Stevie songs, respectively. You can hear the sleepy, mono-induced hours of fingerpicking practice evident on "Never Going Back Again." And "The Chain" is Stevie at her most dramatic occult stage. Both can be found, of course, on the only Fleetwood Mac album I own.
