* BSide: Though cut from the album, Nicks' "Silver Springs" stands as one of the band's most famous songs. It was only released on the back of Buckingham's "Go Your Own Way", to which it served as an AnswerSong, but proved popular enough to appear on a later BoxedSet.

'''''Rumours''''' is the eleventh studio album by Music/FleetwoodMac, released in 1977. It is by far their most successful and most popular album, and one of the best-selling albums of all-time. Hits and fan favourites include "Dreams", "Don't Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "The Chain", "You Make Loving Fun" and "Gold Dust Woman".

!! You Make Troping Fun:

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: "Dreams". "When the rain waSHES you clean you'll know."
* BreakupSong: Actually, a whole break-up ''album'' with this album.
* LoveRuinsTheRealm: "Gold Dust Woman".
* TakeThat: This album is absolutely loaded with {{Take That}}s from one band-member towards the other. Lead single "Go Your Own Way"'s probably the most obvious - the ''Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do'' line is Buckingham insulting Nicks. Nicks responded with the single's B-side "Silver Springs" - which features the line ''I'll follow you down 'till the sound of my voice will haunt you/you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you''. The last-named song was, for many years, one of the rarest and most sought-after of Fleetwood Mac tracks because it appeared only on the B-side of the single of "Go Your Own Way"; it had been left off the album because of lack of space, much to Nicks' displeasure, and wasn't officially released on a Mac album until their 1992 retrospective box-set. It's also been added to the reissued and remastered editions of this album, for what that's worth.
** Saying that Nicks was "displeased" about "Silver Springs" being left off this album is a classic understatement. She once recounted in an interview that when Mick Fleetwood gave her the bad news, she went out into the parking lot and literally shrieked in rage.
** "Gold Dust Woman", which did make the final cut, is a TakeThat at the groupies who hung around the male members of the band, particularly Mick and Lindsey.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Around the time of this album, consisted of two broken relationships and a drummer (who had a fling with the singer.)
