Rumors is, without doubt, just an average album. It is among a handful of way overhyped albums that always make those kind of lists. The songs on Rumours are so boring. And, as Tim said, the popular songs have probably been played on the radio hundreds of thousands of times.
By the way, I grew up with an old pinball machine my dad bought from a dying bar or restaurant that had this record’s imagery all over it… look for photos of it!
