Pick four songs from any band and you can tell a lot about their sound. This summer, I’m featuring #RockBlocks, four picks from bands across various genres. They might be wildly different from each other, but what binds them together is the fact that they’re all a part of my life soundtrack.

One of the hardest tasks for a music blog is to pick just one song from Rumours. It’s generally regarded as one of the best albums ever produced, showing up on several Top Ten of all time lists. I’ll pick “Go Your Own Way” because, in many ways, it’s quite the opposite of my first #RockBlock entry for Fleetwood Mac, “Landslide”.

“Go Your Own Way” is ironically one of the band’s feel-good, upbeat anthems, even though it was an autobiographical account of the ending of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ romantic relationship. Like many Fleetwood Mac songs, it has several things going for it that lurked beneath the surface. It wasn’t just a breakup song, it was a track that demonstrated the resilience of the band with everything that was going on personally. The end product was one of the best three-part harmonies from Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie — and one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac bass lines from John McVie.

“Loving you isn't the right thing to do.”
