Fleetwood Mac.

Yet ANOTHER band I just don't get.

As well as a Top 40 tunes, i could probably make a Top 40 massive bands I just don't get!

There's definitely two camps...those who prefer the Peter Green blues-era, or the Buckingham-Nicks-era.

I choose the latter

Which one is the Albatross era? That gets my vote.

These are the lads that kept fighting and roiding each other, is that right?

Loved "Belladonna"

I think it was Stevie's first (?) solo album...

I remember playing Rumours to death!..

Correctamundo...featured 'Edge Of Seventeen', later sampled by Destiny's Child on 'Bootylicious' :mad: All kinds of wrong!

'Rumours' is the perfect summer soundtrack...the drink is cold, the sun is hot, the car is ready for randomly driving around

'Fighting and Roiding' - the album's original working title

Relationships....

Ruination of a good band...

Loved Tusk....It loops in the head though..

Harry Angstrom

I think the only two people who didn't get together were Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham.

Albatross was very early on Donie, actually have the old single....

Think it was late '60's..

Record sales were going down ... if only Disco sales had kept increasing at the same rate .... Eeeeeehhhhhh !

The Reynolds girls! ... I think they appear briefly in this show.

That's Peter Green-era (Danny Kirwan had just joined the band too).

I know this is a girlie thing but I loved Stevie's style...

She was a stunner..

She's a bit "shiney faced" now....

Welsh Megaman

'Tusk' isn't as bad as they make it out to be...only a few songs on the album are 'experimental'.

Yeah, made things very tough for Spinal Tap, that's for sure.

It reminds me of the whole Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd situation, and Richie Edwards/Manic Street Preachers thing. These bands would never have been as successful if those original band members were still around - same goes for Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac.
There's far too much sentimental rubbish written and spoken about them.

Only Stevie Nicks could make "Sara" sound as good as it did.

Welsh Megaman

Let's install the drug-addicted drummer with no management experience as our manager...this should end well :rolleyes:

Harry, I loved that song.....:)

Not great timing there....

A bit awkward all around..

Welsh Megaman

'Gypsy' from Mirage is also amazing.

Em, confession time...

I bought a dress I saw on Stevie...:)...

I thought I was the cheese!..

Stevie did a little bit of nose melting there...

Somethings should be left in the '70's WM!...

They were called "handkerchief" dresses in case you're ever on Mastermind!...:P

Skid X

Does Dave Fanning pay them royalties for having this song as his intro music?

grey_so_what

They were a very deep lot weren't they??

Interesting. Makes you wonder what bands were held back by certain members.

It would be great to have a 'what if?' machine.
