But everyone has their opinion.

Nah, my problem is with those who post crap like "Time and Behind the Mask aren't true Fleetwood Mac albums" which (IMO) is the biggest bunch of bull**** ever. Fleetwood Mac is whatever Mick and John say it is. Lindsey and Stevie are not the be-all end-all of Fleetwood Mac. Neither is Peter Green. The band is defined by its rhythm section - its founding fathers.
There's nothing wrong with loving the Rumours lineup (lord knows that's what got me interested in the band initially, or more specifically, Stevie was who got me into it after years of listening to Bella Donna) or even loving them the best, but people should at least give the other incarnations a chance. A lot of the pre-1975 stuff is great and so are the albums that came out between '87 and '97.
