Few songs capture quiet heartbreak like Landslide. Written by Stevie Nicks in the Colorado mountains and recorded by Fleetwood Mac for their landmark 1975 self-titled album, the folk-rock ballad has grown into one of the most beloved songs in the band's catalogue.
More than five decades after its release, the 1975 classic is back on the charts: after featuring in the Season 5 finale of Netflix's Stranger Things, it returned to the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Top 40 — 51 years after it was first recorded.
