If only one Brit would have stood up for Lindsey.
Then all this would have never happened. Finn, If not for the internet I wouldn't know who he was. |

Fleetwood Mac is actually a British American band...where its highest chart album success actually is not in US charts at all but in fact the UK, Aus and NZ My point is whether you know Finn/CH or Split Enz personally means very little, he gets very little US AirPlay on the radio nor does he market himself there specifically, but he is renowned for his talent and has received the highest award possible in his country for his musical contribution. I don't wish to compare them but the same can be said for Lindsey....unless you are a specific fan of his solo work or know FM well, very few people would know his name |

Gee, thanks for the FM history lesson. I had no idea! Most of us don't give a flying f*ck who Neil Finn is. Lindsey IS the creative force that made our band who they are. They'd have died 30 years ago without him.

And I disagreed about Lindsey being the creative force of the band...when? Did I ever allude to wishing Lindsey was fired and that Neil should replace him, no, not all..... |

I'm saying most of us don't give AF about Neil. I personally don't want to hear his stats.

I am not in the slightest bit bothered if you like him or hate him, it makes no difference to me at all...I'm not like his cousin or anything weird....but simply know what you are talking about before you write rubbish and don't say 'most of us' and generalise and speak for others, allow people to speak for themselves....it's simple manners

Amazing that folks on this site think that Fleetwood Mac is an American band.
They were created as a fully British band that recorded nine albums with zero Americans in the band. In 1975, they brought two Americans into the band. They then recorded eight more albums, seven of which were with Lindsey and one without. That makes eleven albums without Lindsey and seven with Lindsey. It is true that Lindsey was the creative force (producer, arranger) behind those seven albums and he did lead them through their most commercially successful years but he wasn't the primary songwriter during those years and he certainly relied heavily on having two elite songwriters in the band in Christine and Stevie. Lindsey's solo albums were largely commercial flops because he's not an elite songwriter, although he is certainly an elite producer/arranger. Either way, Fleetwood Mac began as a British band and on their 10th album they became a British/American band. Now they are a British/American/Kiwi band. |

If you think that we don't ALL know that Mick, John, and Chris are British, gtfo. The HUGE popularity that made them a household name was when they moved here, and added Lindsey and $tevie.
Yes, there were the Peter Green years, we're not discussing that... PLEASE don't try to school me(or any of the regulars on here) about the history. I had read that you(SM) were banned. I guess it was only a vacation you were given? Good to have you back.

But still Don't Dream It's Over is not a solo song from Neil Finn. Compare it to Go Your Own Way and you have a reasonable comparison AND your answer.

Then why were you stupid enough to call the band AMERICAN then?

I certainly never said you were American, it's clear from your profile that you reside in Germany. I was talking about the US charts. I was saying its ignorant to say that just because you personally don't know Finn, or anyone else you know knows him, that he is unknown....Again I said he is successful predominantly in other countries is my point...if you live anywhere else from a Commonwealth country it's highly likely he's not popular there.....same analogy could be said for Kylie or Blur
