Go Your Own Way

Last updated

As soon as I came up with the acoustic part, the whole song came to life for me because it acted as a foil for the vocals and a rhythmic counterpoint...so when it comes in, you don't have a reference point for where the 'one' is, or where the beat is at all. It's only after the first chorus comes in that you can realize where you are – and that's what that deejay was confused about.

Lindsey Buckingham [22]

Fleetwood characterized his playing as "capitalizing on (his) own ineptness". [23] Since then, Fleetwood has declared "Go Your Own Way" as one of his favorite songs to play, and praised Buckingham's contributions to the track. [24] Jeff Porcaro, the drummer for Boz Scaggs, as well as a founding member of Toto, was particularly impressed with Fleetwood's drumming on "Go Your Own Way" during live performances. On nights when Boz Scaggs opened for Fleetwood Mac, Porcaro watched Fleetwood's drumming from the side of the stage. Intrigued by his playing, Porcaro approached Fleetwood after a live gig; Fleetwood explained to Porcaro that his dyslexia prevented him from understanding the minutiae of his drumming. Fleetwood said of that conversation, "It was only after we continued to talk that Jeff realized I wasn't kidding around. We eventually had a tremendous laugh about it." [11]

Critical reception

Initial reviews for "Go Your Own Way" were mostly positive. In his review for Rumours, Alex Ward of The Washington Post deemed "Go Your Own Way" as "the best choice for a single on the record." [25] John Swenson of Rolling Stone thought that Buckingham evoked the musical sensibilities of the Byrds with the acoustic guitar work, particularly on the chorus. He also said that Fleetwood's drumming added "a new dimension" to the song and served as an effective foil to John McVie's bass and Buckingham's acoustic guitar. [26] Billboard said that "Go Your Own Way" adhered more to the conventions of mainstream rock than any of the singles on their Fleetwood Mac album from 1975 and felt that the song resembled the work of Jefferson Starship. [27] Stephen Demorest of Creem magazine highlighted the song's "distinctive staggered rhythm and slicing guitar lines" and called it a superior track to "I'm So Afraid", a Buckingham composition from Fleetwood Mac's 1975 self-titled album. [28]

"Go Your Own Way" has achieved critical acclaim in retrospective reviews. Noting the song's resurgence in popularity with millennials, James Lachno marvelled at the song's appeal with younger people, especially when juxtaposed with its alternative contemporaries. "Recently, 'Go Your Own Way' and 'The Chain' – better known as the BBC's Formula One theme tune – have become 2am favourites for bleary-eyed twentysomethings desperate to keep a house party going. By contrast, pioneering punk hits released in the same year such as 'God Save the Queen' and 'White Riot' never seem to get a look in." [29] Daryl Easlea of BBC described Buckingham's compositions as the best tracks on Rumours, "Go Your Own Way" included. [30] In a review of the Rumours Deluxe Edition, Steven Rosen praised Buckingham's acoustic guitar strumming and raw vocal delivery, all of which keeps the listener "riveted". [31] Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic noted the song's folky sound, reminiscent of pre-Beatles bands like the Everly Brothers. Greenwald also praised the lively chord changes and bombastic choruses. "All of these factors, plus a great performance from the band (especially Buckingham's exquisite guitar solo) helped make the song one of the band's biggest and most timeless hits, ever." [32]

"Go Your Own Way" was ranked number 120 by Rolling Stone magazine on their list of 500 greatest songs of all time in 2010, [4] and re-ranked number 401 in 2021. [5] [33] It is on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. [34] Rolling Stone also ranked it No. 1 on its list of Fleetwood Mac's 50 Greatest Songs. [9] In 2012, "Go Your Own Way" was listed by music magazine NME in 33rd place on its list of "50 Most Explosive Choruses." [35] The Guardian and Paste ranked the song number two and number eight, respectively, on their lists of the 30 greatest Fleetwood Mac songs. [36] [37]

"Go Your Own Way" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Arrangement in 1978, but lost to "New Kid in Town" by the Eagles. [38]

Commercial performance

Like their last three singles from the album Fleetwood Mac, "Go Your Own Way" charted in the US. The track made its first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated January 8, 1977, where it entered at No. 71. [39] Two weeks later, the single ascended into the top 40. [40] On March 12, 1977, the song reached its peak of No. 10, a position it held for two weeks. [41] The song spent a total of 11 weeks in the top 40. [40] In Fred Bronson's Billboard's Hottest Hot 100 Hits, a book that lists the top 5000 most successful songs released between July 9, 1955 and February 3, 2007 in terms of chart performance, "Go Your Own Way" ranks 4201st. [42]

In the UK, the single peaked at No. 38 with an initial chart run of four weeks. However, the song attained a lasting popularity in the UK, and it re-entered the singles chart as a digital download on several occasions, beginning in 2009, eventually accumulating ten additional weeks on the UK chart. [43] In April 2025, the song was certified 5× platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting sales and streams of over 3,000,000 units. [44]

In New Zealand, the single debuted at No. 40 on March 13, 1977. Two weeks later, it entered the top 30. [45] The song remained at No. 30 for two weeks on the chart dated April 10 and 17. [46] By April 24, "Go Your Own Way" reached its peak of No. 23. "Go Your Own Way" exited the top 40 by May 29, [47] but re-entered the following week at No. 38, extending its total chart duration to 11 weeks. [48]

Live performances and other appearances

"Go Your Own Way" has been played on every Fleetwood Mac tour since the Rumours Tour. Three years after its first appearance on Rumours, a live recording was included on Live , which was from a 1979 show in Cleveland. The song featured Buckingham's guitar tech, Ray Lindsey, on rhythm guitar. [49] Even after Buckingham left the group in 1987, the band continued to play "Go Your Own Way" in concert. One of Buckingham's replacements, Billy Burnette, singled out "Go Your Own Way" as his favorite song to play on the Shake the Cage Tour. [50] On the final two nights of Fleetwood Mac's 1990 Behind the Mask Tour, Buckingham joined the band onstage to perform "Go Your Own Way". [51] The 1994–95 lineup of Fleetwood Mac also included the song on their Another Link in the Chain Tour. [52]

"Go Your Own Way" served as the main set closer for Fleetwood Mac's 1997 The Dance Tour. The song also appeared on its accompanying album, The Dance , [53] which also included a live recording of "Silver Springs", the B-side to the studio recording of "Go Your Own Way". The live recording of "Go Your Own Way" was issued as the b-side for all editions of "Silver Springs" and the German single for "Temporary One" in 1997. [54] [55]

"Go Your Own Way" appeared on the DVD and CD of Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston , filmed from their Say You Will Tour in 2003. [56] On An Evening with Fleetwood Mac, Buckingham's replacements Mike Campbell and Neil Finn shared guitar duties, while the latter also doubled up on lead vocals. [57] On August 31, 2023, a live recording of "Go Your Way" was released one week before the release of the Rumours Live album. The recording was taken from an August 29, 1977 performance at the Forum in Los Angeles. [58]

Buckingham has also played the song on his solo tours starting in 1992 for his Out of the Cradle tour. During these performances, he would preface the main set by assuring the audience that "as long as you don't call out, 'Go Your Own Way' too soon, we'll get along great." [59] [60] He also played the song in 2018 during the promotion of his Solo Anthology compilation album. [61]

Throughout the years, "Go Your Own Way" has appeared on numerous Fleetwood Mac compilation albums, including Greatest Hits in 1988, 25 Years – The Chain in 1992, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac in 2002, Opus Collection in 2013, [62] and 50 Years – Don't Stop in 2018. [63]
