I never was a big fan, but thought their stuff was pretty for pop in the 80's. Don;t remember 'em much before that.

Anyway I though Mudcatters may have an interest in their proposed revival; CLICK.

its funny to read about a revival!!
In 1981, I spent a camping holiday in England with some friends. By chance, while we were at the Wadebridge folk festival ( brilliant ) we heard on the radio that Fleetwood mac were having a revival concert in Oxford a few days later. Oxford being quite a bit away from Wadebridge, we decided to enjoy the festival and then beatle off.
the concert in Oxford was worth the awful drive through brittish motorways!!!!!
I wonder how they will do on this one. I mean that was 22 years ago!!!

I was a fan in those days, but my favourite radio station plays them so often THESE days that I turn the station after the first two notes.

These days it's just a Californian pop group. I don't mind them, but I wouldn't get on a bus to go to a free gig. In the late sixties and early seventies they were a blues band - probably the most spectacularly melodic and inventive to come from our country.

I agree with alanabit having seen both the original Peter Green and later Jeremy Spencer-led lineups live. Utterly superb. Good to see Peter Green is having something of a comeback with The Splinter Group now too...a truly great guitarist and blues singer.

I have to say that Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham and Christine McVie wrote a few decent songs in the later line up too, although I prefer the earlier Fleetwood Mac.

Christine McVie's voice gives me goosebumps.
Stevie Nicks' voice gives me hives.

Cheers,

I preferred the old all-male blues-influenced band. IMHO when the woment joined they changed to a hippy dippy psychodelic band and lost me.

That very first album (was it just 'Fleetwood Mac'? The cover with the dog nosing around the dustbins) was just sensational -- and then they added Danny Kirwan and got even better! I don't mind some of the Californian pop stuff, but they should have changed the name.

Couldn't agree more! It's a completely different band.
