Peter Green was easily recognised as one of the top 5 guitar players in the UK (or Europe) when he started Fleetwood Mac. Any drummer on the scene would happily have joined the band. Ever heard of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers?

Kudos to you Dino for reminding us all of that fact. Also, would PG have used Mick and John for his rhythm section if he didn't have the utmost respect for them? I think not.
