I know. As a kid I was always mocked for liking uncool music. Even by my own mother. I used to wash the dishes with an oldies station playing and my mom would come in and say, "Why are you listening to that? That's before MY time?" And people who didn't even know me thought they had the right to comment on my musical tastes, saying I needed "to grow out of that." It was annoying, to say the least.

In my high school, kids were still worshipping Zeppelin and cheering on the metal acts, like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. The girls liked Journey and Def Leopard. Rush was acceptable. My obsession with Fleetwood Mac made me an easy target for ridicule. But I held my ground. I especially caught heat for buying the Stevie solo albums. So uncool for a guy, unless he was gay, and I was, so I was pretty much a freak anyway. Funny thing is' today' so many of my childhood friends text me or email me or facebook me to say they think of me anytime they hear the Mac. I think that's a complement.

There's very little Christine I don't like. A handful of bland numbers from the 84 solo album, Skies the Limit, All Over Again, the vocals on Morning Rain and Homeward Bound...

We had the exact same experience, growing up!

And high school friends still call me too, after hearing FM on the radio.

My favorites were Christine McVie and Joni Mitchell. And I was on the football team. I had to endure Motley Crue, Guns and Roses, and a bunch of other horrible music that did not interest me in the least.

How can any gay male not be a Stevie fan?

I agree about the vocal on "Morning Rain," but I've never had any objection to the vocal on "Homeward Bound" (the song that in my opinion is Christine's lost classic). What is it about the vocal on "HB" that you don't like?
