70s

Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" was inspired by the relationship issues that the band was dealing with at the time, specifically between lead singers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The two ended their eight year relationship while still having to record the album that this song appears on. Despite the trials and tribulations that the band faced, this song and this album turned out to be their most iconic album to date. One of the greatest albums from start to finish of all-time, in my opinion.

Dreams of loneliness, Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering, what you had, And what you lost and what you had and what you lost Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Say, women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know, you will know, you'll know (Source) Here's a more recent performance of "Dreams" RELATED: Sheryl Crow Shared Her New Album Tracklist That Features Stevie Nicks & More
