Question What is the longest time you have stopped listening to Fleetwood Mac?

As a fan, there are lot of things I like to do, and lot of things I have not done or would never do. But listening Fleetwood Mac songs is something I enjoy, almost every day (when I am with friends sometimes they say Oh no there he goes again).

However there were periods of time I stopped to listening them. Few days, I guess for unintentional reasons. But in 2018 I declared myself a Fleetwood Mac embargo. I was upset with the whole band for firing Lindsey. At first I didn't check enough info about the reasons. Even though I learned the details later, I was still angry with the 5 members.

So it took 3 months before I got over it and decided to listen to them again. What is the longest time, intentionally or not, you have stopped listening to Fleetwood Mac?

You really need to find a job or something...

I'd say from after BTM, until The Dance came along. I still listened, but not often.

I still love his drumming. I just didn't like Time at all.

I always liked Mick’s drumming and I stayed with the MAC when they “weren’t cool” I liked some of Time album but it obviously wasn’t there best . I was never a follower as it came to music…..I liked what I liked.

I saw the Time band, and Bekka won me over, singing Dreaming The Dream.

Bekka had the best pipes FM ever had. She's still a BAD ASS. Say that about Old Goatsy...

Imma red wine HO! I tell my friends all the time, "on the day I die, I hope there are 4 empty bottles of my favorite red lying beside me, because I'll have died happy!'

Absolutely— about 1990-1994. I did listen to Time quite a bit. Was impressed by Christine’s vocals. They were so warm and youthful!

I became a fan in 1993 and voraciously collected and listened to FM for the next two decades. I also saw the Time crew live. You look at the collection of musicians and singers for that album/tour and it should have been something special. Whereas the Rumours crew somehow added up to be more the sum of their parts, the Time iteration was the opposite for me. It just didn’t sparkle, and came across as soulless. Was Bekka a technically superior singer to anyone FM had seen before? Yes, but I don’t think she was an original talent like those who proceeded her… she kinda had a lounge singer forced vibe to me. Bob Welch wasn’t a particularly great vocalist by any stretch of the imagination, but he was certainly unique and yet totally fit in with those in the band before and after him.

Anyway, back to the original question. When Lindsey was tossed out of the band I started greatly pulling back on listening to all things Mac. Then when Christine died I was devastated, which really caught me off guard. I couldn’t listen to Mac music because it just made me sad. This grew into a deeper resentment of S&M for their actions, and I pretty much haven’t put on a Mac album since.

Probably a year. I don’t remember precisely, but there have been some yearlong stretches where I refused to listen because I was trying to get addicted to someone else.

Trying to get addicted—doing it with purpose, knowing the endgame. Interesting. Did it work?
