Just to paraphrase something I read about Stevie a long time ago:
"All women want to BE her, all men want to be WITH her." With the exception of "gender preference" which would toss it into "vice versa" mode, I think it sums it up. |

Brian, I think we should come up with some worthy topics of discussion. Forget the To 10 crap. Let's think up some good topics and drive away the drivel. |

On record, listen to "Planets of the Universe" or "Fall From Grace"- she's as vibrant as ever. Live, listen to "Silver Springs" from The Dance OR anyone who saw the Enchanted tour knows she kicked ass on "Sleeping Angel". |

Word Up!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the question was who ARE the most
talented members of FM?... That is PRESENT tense! And that would have to be their current line-up, if the new record ever sees the light of day At any rate, I feel that the legacy of FM is that ALL their members past or present have been talented...But I hate to admit it, Mick Fleetwood is the most talented, and when the word talented was asked, was it musically,business-wise,VIBE wise??? Because Mick IS the vibe of Fleetwood Mac...Even at his worst/chemical ridden I think he's ALWAYS had a vision and a plan... He's been very talented at never breaking the chain...

Still, I would not take anything away from him as a drummer. I love his work and I think the chemistry between him and John is unequaled. When you throw Lindsey, the true visionary in the band setting, into the mix, the resulting chemistry is red hot. If you really think about it, these three guys should ditch the others and tour as a trio. That would be rocking! |

Well yes, the post BN lineups weren't as that successful, but the public can be blamed for a lot of that. In my opinion, both the BTM and Time bands were QUITE talented and put on a great live show. However, they weren't praised because they didn't have the "Fleetwood Mac" sound. Well DUH! It's a completely different set of people! I think Mick did a hell of a job recruiting.
-Brian P.S. If you listen to Tusk and Mirage shows, Mick handles Tusk just fine. What was I missing?

I'm not a mind-reader, but from all the things I've read over the years, I think what CarneVaca was getting at was that Mick had to actually sit down, listen to what was on tape and really WORK to relearn both the cowbell break on "Oh Well" and the basic beat of "Tusk" before they could even begin to rehearse the songs. Of COURSE, by the time they got to the public stage, Mick had a firm grasp on both tunes again.

So knowing that even very accomplished musicians go through this struck me as funny. Of course, Mick is as close to flawless on stage as you can be. So I'm sure he works very hard at it. |

Hey bjk....
...I was reading the posts, but just found it funny how All you guys get your knickers in a twist over a woman!!!! how come your'e not debating the talent difference between Mick and John, or say Christine and Stevie???? Each member has their own unique talent, all of which makes up our fav group (and YES, us woman do like things to be simple and uncomplicated... )

wow..
what a loaded question, but I'll keep my answers simple.
1. Lindsey because of the masterpiece, Tusk! 2. My favorite member - Stevie. I was given the white album for Christmas in 1976 - I only knew of FM due to the fact that they had a slot in the record bin at Wal-Mart. I remember looking at their covers and thinking they probably sounded like Uriah Heep. Money was tight in my family back then, so I couldn't afford to buy it. But my little sister Kelly gave it to me for Christmas, and I stayed up all night, listening to the vinyl record with my headphones, and falling in love with this band. It's wasn't about Stevie's persona or anything, because I actually confused her and Christine in the bathroom photo. It was her voice and those 3 songs - Rhiannon, Crystal, and Landslide. 3. Christine - Her voice is silk and her songs are beautiful. Christine would be the one member that I would love to hang out at a pub with. Drinking beer and shooting the breeze. She seems real. 4. Mick Fleetwood - I loved his book! And he kept the rhythm grooving. My cousin, who is a drummer, always called Mick's drumming as off-beat. Not for sure what he meant, but he said it was a compliment. 5. John McVie - because he's John. Musically, Peter Green, Bob Welch, and Danny Kirwan maybe be more talented - but it's really the incarnation above that I fell in love with and so I have to give them the kudos. I'm not much into knowing who is better - but loved reading this thread... and wanted to give my thoughts. p.s. Johnny Stew - love reading your posts! Thanks. |

This reminds me of a situation where there are 4 white guys and one black guy in an office. The black guy slacks off and doesn't do his job so he's fired. Then he turns around and sues for discrimination. Hey buddy, this has nothing to do with discrimination, you weren't doing your job!! -Brian
