Album of the Day

Fleetwood Mac celebrates a half-century of music with a new 50-song collection that is the first to explore the group's entire career, from its early days playing the blues, to its global success as one of the most-enduring and best-selling bands in rock history. The 3-CD set 50 YEARS-DON'T STOP offers a deep dive into the band's expansive catalog by bringing together essential tracks released between 1968 and 2013. The first disc revisits Fleetwood Mac's beginnings as a blues-rock combo, a six-year period ending in 1974; among the U.K. Top Ten hits included is “Albatross.” The second disc focuses on the group's most commercially successful period with music from multi-platinum releases FLEETWOOD MAC, RUMOURS and TUSK. The final disc explores songs the band released between 1982 and 2013, including such U.S. Top Ten hits as “Hold Me,” “Big Love” and “Little Lies.” Today we wish bassist John McVie a happy birthday with 50 YEARS-DON'T STOP.
