Texas King Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I always view them as two completely different bands and like them both for different reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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.

geezer Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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.

People who feel Mac was creatively stunted by the addition of Nicks as a pop writer should go listen to Tusk. Apples and oranges. 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super25Smasher Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I like both, but i'll go with the Nicks era. Infectious pop rock at it's best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Rumours is one of "those" albums that everyone owns. Because it's nearly perfect. i agree with this. Aside from 1 track for me. it is a must for any collection. Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I never was a full on Stevie fan.......her Early Mac was great as was Bella Donna but that's about as far as it goes. She really didn't take care of her voice.....man. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
