A much better guitarist than buckingham? I'm gonna have to disagree on that one. Nicks era for me. Nothing wrong with pop when it's done right and they definitely did it right. Most of those songs really hold up well.

Fleetwood Mac (1975) through to Mirage.

 

I also love Behind The Mask and Time.

Peter was a great guitarist, but Buckingham was far more creative and honestly straight up bizarre with his playing than he's usually given credit for. He didn't play in the blues style Green did, but he definitely could play better than most.

 

I have always loved Nicks, she and Buckingham made Fleetwood Mac a great pop band.

 

I typically hate pop, but they were really very very good.

 

This doesn't take away from Green's Mac. Totally different band, honestly.

 

People who feel Mac was creatively stunted by the addition of Nicks as a pop writer should go listen to Tusk.

 

Apples and oranges.

I only know the Buckingham/Nicks era so this is easy. Christine McVie is my favorite voice from the band however. McVie, Nicks and Buckingham do sound great together though...

For me pre-Stevie Nicks era by far, esp.with bluesy Peter Green, who is much better guitarist than a pop guitarist Lindsay Buckingham.

Not a fan of Stevie Nicks at all, she never was a rocker.

Your opinions?

Love your threads and polls!

 

DUH!

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT PETER GREEN!!!!

 

F THE CORPORATE WHORES NAMED FLUCKINGHAM EGOIST. STEVIE THE WHITE WTICH NICKS. CHRISTIE McEVIL.

 

Mick is the shit.

John McVie is great.

I always view them as two completely different bands and like them both for different reasons.

 

I know.

 

"Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumors" are great. Just overplayed.

 

I love the Green blues stuff though more.

 

It's like I love all of the ZZ TOP stuff before MTV crap ELIMINATOR.

I voted for the NIcks' era: Peter Green's FM are a good blues band, albums with Bob Welch are underrated, but sun actually starts shining from 1975 (and I named my female Maine Coon cat Rhiannon!)

THIS

 

Prog-heads, metal-heads, jazzers all loved Nicks-era Mac.

 

Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie are creatively all over Tusk like a rash. From this line-up it is their best album.

So far, the only FM that I've really heard are the Buckingham tracks from "Tusk", so I'm curious to know more about them.

[LB btw is a smart musician, who toured with the Everly Bros. (perhaps even filling in for one of them?) if I'm not mistaken, so he certainly has lots of chops (vocal, guitar, songwriting).]

I've heard a little Peter Green solo stuff like "Post-Modern Blues" but am interested in checking more out.

Maybe I'll just start with the first record and go from there?

I'm happy to hear all recommendations. :)
