“Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac

"Landslide" is Stevie Nicks' song, written entirely by her, from the self-titled Fleetwood Mac album released on July 11, 1975, and it's the quiet moment that stops the room: plain, searching and utterly unguarded, with Lindsey Buckingham's acoustic guitar cradling her voice. The band produced the album with Keith Olsen, who also recorded it.

It never needed to be a hit to last. A live take from the reunion album The Dance finally went out as a single in 1998, and the studio original has kept on selling, past two million copies in the US by 2017. Rolling Stone placed it 163rd on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2021, and in January 2026, after the Stranger Things series finale used it, the old recording debuted at number 41 on the Hot 100.
