They became part of the driving force of the band for the rest of its career. They both made major contributions, and they were often the creative force behind some of the band\u2019s biggest and best songs. Buckingham, in particular, had a few bangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cGo Your Own Way\u201d\u2028<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way (Official Music Video) [HD]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ozl3L9fhKtE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of both Buckingham and Nicks\u2019 songwriting for <em>Rumours<\/em> was fueled by their breakup. Buckingham shared his perspective on \u201cGo Your Own Way,\u201d the biggest hit he wrote for the band. That was much to the dismay of Nicks, who\u2019s long been outspoken about her dislike of the second verse in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cNever Going Back Again\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Never Going Back Again (2004 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0i3ZfrVY9iU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the lesser-known songs on <em>Rumours<\/em> is the simple \u201cNever Going Back Again\u201d.
