1977 shocker: Rumours is a fantastic album


 

I borrowed a friend's LP for this because using the CD from the library just wasn't sitting right with me - I'm trying to listen like it's 1977 (and, besides, I'm turning pretty hard on Spotify and the like right now). 

Well, it's still amazing. It hasn't actually been that long since I borrowed this album for a summer listen anyway, and it won't be long until I do it again. There are hits and sleepers on every track but, when the chips are down, I'd pick Songbird as my favourite.

The only thing I keep wondering is whether The Chain is best used as the tremendous Side B starter, or if it could have actually worked better as the album closer?
