“I realised then that everything could tumble, and when you're in Colorado, and you're surrounded by these incredible mountains, you think 'avalanche'": How being alone in snowy Aspen inspired the sleeper hit that saved Fleetwood Mac

Singer Stevie Nicks poses for a portrait in circa 1974.

It’s another song that's been wafted up into the charts on the wings of Stranger Things. Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide is over fifty years old now – it first appeared on the band’s eponymous 1975 album – but after being featured in the final episode of the hit Netflix show, it’s finally reached the charts for the first time this month, after half a century in this world.

This gentle Stevie Nicks acoustic ballad isn’t one of the group’s signature songs, but it’s always been highly rated by fans. It was written before its author and Lindsay Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in December 1974, when they were still Buckingham Nicks, an up-and-coming West Coast duo.
