Fleetwood Mac (1973) Believe Me

 Before Buckingham Nicks became the frontman and woman of 60s British group Fleetwood Mac they actually were transforming into a pop rock band with Bob Welch fronting the band and setting the groundwork for their late 70's comeback. But Christine McVie was also fronting many of the songs before being relegated to third vocalist after Buckingham Nicks. This is one of many great sweet pop songs she crafted that could easily stand with their later output. Believe Me has great dynamics as a slow piano fade in kicks into gear into the song's central rhythm it features great lines such as "Is it really such a sin to love you"; a rock n roll song with a female perspective is refreshing change from the male adolescence that usually dominates the genre.
