On February 4th 1977, Fleetwood Mac released one of the most iconic albums in history. Famous not only for its massive success with titles such as Go Your Own Way, Don’t Stop, and You Make Loving Fun, but also because of the relationship turmoil behind its creation. With John McVie and Christine McVie undergoing a divorce, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham breaking up, and Mick Fleetwood splitting with his wife, the record was sure to be jam-packed with drama.
