Fleetwood Mac

I wasn't quite old enough to remember the first two incarnations of Fleetwood Mac. So, for me, Fleetwood Mac has always been the Buckingham-Nicks era band. One of my favorite groups.

I have been going back to listen to the earlier stuff. Way more blues oriented, (I realize that was what the band was) and am starting to really get into them.

Already have my tickets to see the them this tour. From what I understand, John McVie will be with them also. So it should be a killer show!

i read about a big controversy over how bob welch (among the numerous fm guitarists) was singled out for exclusion when fm was enshrined in the hall of fame. he speculated first that it was because he had filed a breach of contract suit against other band members and later that it was because the hall of fame voters didn't like his style of music. seems a bit cruel to me--granted "sentimental lady" should never be heard again, but "bare trees" and future games" were great 70s albums.

I agree with Loomisjohnson that "Future Games" was a great album and I hope that someone will re-master and release this on 180G vinyl. That was the debut of Christine McVie and just a good collection. FM is kinda like the band Yes in that they have had many incarnations of structure from the early days to the current reunion of the "pop" years.
I thought I read last year that Peter Green had passed? But like Yes' Chris Squire, I think Mick Fleetwood is the only member that has been on every album. SOmething to be said for copyrights.
