Overall I was quite surprised by how little my views had changed since I last listened to it in this way (although I've played most of the individually quite a few times since then).
Out of curiosity, how do the other FM fans here rank the albums by the Rumours line up? My order is:
1. Rumours
2. Fleetwood Mac
--------------------------
3. Tusk
-------------------------
4. Tango In The Night
5. Mirage
The dashed lines indicate the boundaries in quality as I see them. Rumours is one of my absolute favourite albums of all time, and I also love the self-titled album. I don't like Tusk as much as those too, but I think it's quite a bit better than the two 1980s albums.
