Where did that leave the union of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham once a new decade emerged? 1982's Mirage found Fleetwood Mac trying to recapture the magic of 1977's epochal Rumours, and succeeding in large part. Yet Mirage felt as if it firmly had one foot planted in the previous decade. With its belated follow-up, 1987's Tango in the

Review: Pink Floyd, "1970 DEVI/ATION"
For some fans, Pink Floyd begins with Dark Side of the Moon, the band's 1973 opus. But in reality, that classic was the culmination of roughly eight years of musical experimentation.
