Who is your favourite?

[trackaghost]

Admit it you have a favourite member of the Mac! Who is it and why?
State your preference and be proud!

Edit: If your favourite member isn't here, say who it is and tell me off for not putting an option for "Other". :o

[skcin]

I've always been much more of a Stevie fan, but after this tour I'm going with the pair together.

Paula

[chiliD]

I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan. "the whole sh-bang."

And, yes, that includes Bekka Bramlett, too.

[gldstwmn]

I'd be lying if I said that it was anyone other than Stephanie Nicks and her Wild Heart.
I looove FM and found myself with a new level of admiration and respect for Linds after seeing him do the Soundsatge show-but I have always been a chiffon head. :)

[face of glass]

Rick Vito or Billy Burnette - the forgotten members (there's only 10 options!)
I'm going to assume that this selection includes Bob Brunning, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Weston, Dave Walker, Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett too and that you couldn't type their names in because of the lack of space.

At least, I hope that's the reason. ;)

[face of glass]

I only had 10 spaces! I'd include them all if I could. I had to include the most obvious ones...
Yeah, I bet there's some hotheaded Dave Walker fans out there irritated because of this injustice. :eek: ;)

[CarneVaca]

Lindsey Buckingham all the way. Without him, as we have seen, Fleetwood Mac is elevator music.

[AliceLover]

Stevie has always been my favorite and always will be but LIndsey does an excellent job on guitar and because of his excellent guitar playing, I love FMs music.

Rick Vito is an outstanding guitarist and in my opinion is better than Lindsey.

But Stevie I LOVE YOU!

Jimmy

[77Rumours77]

The whole damn thing! The Mac all the way baby! :blob1:

[CarneVaca]

Rick Vito is an outstanding guitarist and in my opinion is better than Lindsey.

Sure, if you like bland, unimaginative guitar playing.

[Johnny Stew]

Lindsey Buckingham all the way. Without him, as we have seen, Fleetwood Mac is elevator music.

Ahh, but didn't Lindsey produce all of those Mac songs we now hear on easy-listening and adult contemporary stations? ;)

(Gotta yank your chain a little, Carne.) :)

[CarneVaca]

Ahh, but didn't Lindsey produce all of those Mac songs we now hear on easy-listening and adult contemporary stations? ;)

(Gotta yank your chain a little, Carne.) :)

The question is, What are you doing, listening to those old-fart stations? :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

Sure, if you like bland, unimaginative guitar playing.

And a brawl erupts between chiliD and CarneVaca!

*dodges a flying bar-stool*

[Patti]

I voted for Lindsey...gotta bump up his numbers! :)

Patti

[Johnny Stew]

The question is, What are you doing, listening to those old-fart stations? :laugh:

I'm 31 now (with 32 only three months away), so I'm learning to embrace being a senior citizen.

Now if I could get some of those danged discounts! :laugh:

[Johnny Stew]

I voted for Lindsey...gotta bump up his numbers! :)

If anyone's numbers need bumped up, it's Christine!
She deserves to have more votes than 0. :(

[face of glass]

Sure, if you like bland, unimaginative guitar playing.
Just check out the Rick Vito In Concert DVD and then we'll see if you still uphold the same opinion. :nod:

[face of glass]

If anyone's numbers need bumped up, it's Christine!
She deserves to have more votes than 0. :(
But if this was done after the release of In The Meantime then she'd probably do better. Or at least that's what I wanna believe. :)

[chiliD]

Sure, if you like bland, unimaginative guitar playing.

You obviously have a serious case of wax build-up in your ears.

[darklinensuit]

Surprise, it's Stevie. :woohoo:

- Jake

[Hawkeye]

It's astonishing that Stvie can be the most bashed member on the board and she still manages to dominate this poll. It's amazing the power she has. Anyways I went with Fleetwood Mac as a whole which is kind of cheaing if you think about it.

[Carolina Girl]

Lindsey all the way! I love Stevie and her songs, and I love the Mac as a whole, but Lindsey is definitely my favorite.

[macfan 57]

Ahh, Christine has plenty of fans around here, they just haven't seen this thread yet. :nod:

Well, one has now. :) Christine's talent & class beat everyone else in Fleetwood Mac by a mile for me.

[flyfirefly]

Sure, if you like bland, unimaginative guitar playing.

Hah, that's great. :)

I'm born and bred a Stevie fan, but this tour has really made me appreciate Lindsey more than I ever thought I would. That said, I'm a 'BuckinghamNicks' .

[dissention]

I went with Buckingham Nicks, but I'm a bit more of a Lindsey fan.

Now, before I had ever heard GOS, I was a total chiffonhead. I still am, honestly (with the exception of the putrid RAL and SA albums). But after I heard GOS, I was a total Lindsey fan. The release of SYW put me over the edge. The man is brilliant, no bones about it. I find it puzzling how someone can listen to songs like Save Me A Place, The Ledge, Red Rover, I Know I'm Not Wrong and not think that he's a genius. And he plays a guitar like no other. But I'm still a huge Stevie fan. ;)

[dissention]

Lindsey Buckingham all the way. Without him, as we have seen, Fleetwood Mac is elevator music.

:nod: :nod: :nod:

Truer words were never spoken, my man.

[Villavic]

I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan, but specifically the Rumours lineup, no doubt. I liked Behind the Mask and Say you will, but adore albums from the Rumours lineup.

[jbrownsjr]

Lindsey Buckingham all the way. Without him, as we have seen, Fleetwood Mac is elevator music.


Carne I swear on my momma I just heard Trouble in the elevator at my doctor's. (i got some serious allergy problems) It made me feel old hearing one of my fav tunes in the elevator.

[golddustwoman77]

:blob2: :blob1: I would definitely say the WHOLE shebang---Fleetwood Mac---all of them!!!!!!!!!!!! No way could I pick just one of them. They are all instrumental to the band in their own special way. :blob2: :blob1:

[shackin'up]

I wanted to vote lindsey first, but Stevie was my first appeal and Greeny- and welch-era-mac came ahead a few months after that. And GOS proves that Buckingham solo is at his best with this rythmsection on his side. So at last I voted for Fleetwood Mac. But I have to say: My devotion really stopped when Lindsey left: I saw the Tangotour, the BTMtour and the Time-tour. But the real Mac for me I saw last year. So maybe I could have voted BN, too.

And did you vote too Trackaghost? :D

[estranged4life]

the whole damn thing known as Fleetwood Mac.

Brian "The Bassist in me picked John McVie though" j.

[wondergirl9847]

This thread could get VERY interesting. LOL

My favorite has ALWAYS been Bob Brunning!! I ADORE HIM!!!!

:lol:

My top 3 are: Lindsey, Stevie and Danny.

[AliceLover]

I Cannot believe you called Rick Vitos guitar playing bland and unimaginitive or whatever. THATS BS. He is an amazing guitarist.

Listen to Stop Messin Round from BTM tour and ull change your mind.


Jimmy

[DeadliestPoison]

Yay, John McVie!

Now that I think of it, I shoulda voted for FM as a whole. I'm definitely here for the package deal. Er. Not BN. The whole shabang.

[ryan8472]

I voted for Stevie. I really should have voted for the whole Fleetwood Mac though. It's only that Stevie is the one who's music turned me on to Fleetwood Mac, and music in general really, so I had to go with her.

BTW Christy, you're right, I can just see some feuds beginning here :laugh:

[CarneVaca]

THATS BS. He is an amazing guitarist.

Listen to Stop Messin Round from BTM tour and ull change your mind.


Jimmy

Dude, you like mashed potatoes. Great. I like my mashed potatoes with a generous helping of garlic and a side of chilies, thank you very much. That's the difference.

And, no, I won't change my mind. I've heard enough of the man's playing to decide whether I like it.

[Johnny Stew]

Dude, you like mashed potatoes. Great. I like my mashed potatoes with a generous helping of garlic and a side of chilies, thank you very much. That's the difference.

My brother likes ketchup on his mashed potatoes. :eek:

But then, that seems more like a discussion for Jake to post on the Chit-Chat Forum! ;) :laugh:

[sodascouts]

BN all the way baby! But then everybody already knew that, lol

Not to diminish the rest of Fleetwood Mac, but they will always be my favorites.

[darklinensuit]

Do I really need to start ANOTHER thread about your brother's eating habits? :shrug: :)

- Jake

[golden braid]

Stevie is definitely number one for me although I do love Lindsey also. I have really grown to love Lindsey more and more especially after seeing them tour last year.

[mylittledemon]

Wow...CarneVaca's early remarks towards AliceLover on the first page had me rolling with laughter.

Anyway, this was a tough poll...my first pick was Lindsey Buckingham. 2ndly I would've said Fleetwood Mac, the whole shebang. Then 3rdly I would've said I'm a Nicks fan. it was too close so I couldnt pick just one.

[xdreamsunwindx]

For Me-

1. Fleetwood Mac
2. Lindsey Buckingham
3. John McVie (because I have this thing for bass)
4. Stevie and Christine (tied)
5. Bob Welch
And then, everyone else falls after the top five in no particular order :).

-Kate

[WelshWitchPMD]

I love both Lindsey and Stevie. :nod:

[Claudia]

Hi everyone :wavey:, I'm new here and this seemed like a good thread to start posting, since that's the first question that comes to mind when I tell people I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan.

I like every member that's ever been in the band (even Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett) and my favourites change quite lot. When I first became a fan Stevie was my favourite, then I changed to Lindsey, then to Christine, and then to Stevie again. Currently my favourite is Christine (because I'm so happy about her new solo album and because I missed her a lot). But I like to put it in categories so it's easier to choose:

-my favourite voice - Christine
-my favourite songwriter - Stevie
-my favourite producer and guitar player (1975-now) - Lindsey (he's just a genious)
-my favourite pre-Buckingham Nicks members - Peter Green, Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan.

Hope to meet you all!

I aim to please. ;)

And that, friends, is irony.

[stefan]

I always was a fan of that girl, let`s see what was her name...
Lindsay or so

[David]

Edit: If your favourite member isn't here, say who it isBetty Hutton!!

[macmar71]

I love that guitar man!!!! Mr. Buckingham!!!

[littlelies7]

I vote Lindsey, but Christine is a very close second.

I just always liked Lindsey and growing up, my family and I have always been fans of Christine. So, yeah... there's my reason.

Welcome, Claudia.

Thank you so much.

[AliceLover]

Well most fans that don't like Rick Vito and Billy Brunette dont like them because they are not LIndsey.

[jwd]

I'd say Fleetwood Mac, the whole shebang because I'd get every member. I guess I'm oversimplifying here? :shrug: Really, I have my favorites, and the solo projects are cool, but FM as a band will always be my first pick.
