From The Rock Snob*s Dictionary - An Essential Lexicon Of Rockological Knowledge by David Kamp and Steven Daly (2005):
Buckingham, Lindsey.
Driving musical force of the post-Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, once reviled by Snobs as the beardy, longhaired embodiment of complacent seventies California soft-pop, but since doubly rehabilitated - first, when he acquired an Eraserhead haircut and acknowledged punk and new-wave influences on both his solo albums and the Mac's admirably weird Tusk album; and, later, when Snobs came around to recognizing the Brian Wilson-like production acuity, virtuoso guitar-playing, and sun-drenched harmonies of his seventies Mac work. Now enjoys the friendship of such credibly hip admirers as R.E.M. and Rick Rubin.
* Rock Snob n reference term for the sort of pop connoisseur for whom the actual enjoyment of music is but a side dish to the accumulation of arcane knowledge about it.
Two Rock Snobs may have written this book, but they still managed to come up with a few inaccuracies. Feel free to rip them apart.
