One Of The Best Songs Ever

At today's Cycling class there were two women to the left of me who appeared to be in their late 30s. The instructor for this class plays a wide variety of music, and I particularly enjoy it when something from the 1970s starts coming though the speakers.

That happened halfway through the class. It only took a couple of introductory bars for me to figure out I was going to hear "The Chain", my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. I had to giggle when I heard one of the women say to the other that it was one of the best songs ever. The Rumour album, which contained the song, was released in 1977-long before she came along.

    I'm sure she heard her parents play it. That was always on my turntable back in the day!

      I hadn't thought about that! My audio of choice was the radio.

    The youngin' at one of my jobs loved Stevie. She had actual records. Very, very cool.

    Oh, I love that song. It was on the radio yesterday! I listen to a classic rock station.

      I am searching for a new radio station, but they all have so many commercials!

    Good music stands the test of time and becomes classic.

      You're right, but I don't feel like the things of my teenage years should be considered classics yet. That would make me old!

    Enjoyed listening to this track again, Kathy, and what a pity those in their 30s didn't now great groups like Fleetwood Mac.

      I agree, but I wonder if my parent's friends said the same things about their favorite music when they were my current age.

    I first heard this song during the Guardians of The Galaxy movie - I think the 2nd one? I absolutely love it.

    That anecdote is perfect. It really hits on the wisdom of timeless music. It doesn't belong to a decade, it just belongs to anyone who hears it. When a song from '77 can make a younger generation stop and declare it one of the best, you know it’s truly earned that classic status. Totally agree, by the way!
