(Hang on, just checking... yeah, that was part of the humour of this poll. I'm also telling myself that I should've added an option saying "Weren't there other men in Fleetwood Mac?", but, alas, it didn't occur to me until it was too late. "Oh Well".)

:lol: These polls are so funny, seriously. I did vote for John though, I'd not consider getting anyone else's bass line tattooed on myself.

Yeah I guessed that! Long Grey Mare is the Fleetwood Mac track with Bob Brunning on rather than Mr McVie...

Not that there would be much of a bass line to tattoo on yourself from that song...

bluefox4000 05-25-2010 07:39 AM

I'm abstaining. I Love all the Men of Mac equally............Hee Hee yea right..... Lindsey for me every time. He was my first memory of the mac. I look forward to his solo stuff the most.. So yea it's Lindsey:nod:

Ahh, now I see. I'm still only just starting to get to grips with the pre-Rumours stuff and who did what where. Having had that line up be the only one I've related to all my life, I'm going slowly but surely through the rest :thumbsup:

(Damn it! I knew I should've done a beta release of this poll so that early adopters could point out little things I could've changed for the final release of the poll! :rolleyes: How could I not call him Liddy B? :distress:)

Seriously?!?!?!?! No Peter??? Jeremy??? Danny??? Bob Welch?? Billy Burnette?? Rick Vito??? MICK FLEETWOOD??????????

How can such a poll be taken seriously when it leaves out so many of the names that have made the band great, including 3 of its founding members???!!!

My votes, in order: Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Rick Vito, Billy Burnette, Lindsey Buckingham, Bob Welch.

Sleepless-Child 05-25-2010 12:07 PM

:lol::laugh:. Made me laugh, very ironic. And a good answer to those stupid quarrels about polls. Wait, it was ironic, right?

Oh, God yes, post #3.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! It's a joke, dude.

Nico 05-25-2010 12:45 PM

Oh come on now. Even if you put all the other dudes in there, even if you mix in the women...it will always be Lindsey for me. Always.

louielouie2000 05-25-2010 03:30 PM

No Bob Welch? :distress:

Well, now that we've got Ledgies thinking it isn't, I'm now officially making this a serious poll. My apologies for any inconveniences caused to Ledgies who initially realised the joke and voted in accordance. :sorry:

I agree!!!! :mad: I don't think the ledge has seen this many invalid polls in ages. Heck, 2 GIRLS even made it into the Men of Mac poll!!! :mad: Why are Bekka & Lindsey included? :confused:

Two girls? (This poll is quickly becoming one of the more interesting experiments in the subtle workings of the Ledgie mind.)

back in the day I would have instantly said Lindsay but I have to admit, with a second look John was pretty hot back in the day - I mean really they both had packages that came straight from Santa :)

I just realised that I've been beaten at my own game - indeed an epic fail on my behalf! Congratulations on your pwnage! :laugh:

holidayroad 05-26-2010 07:57 AM

Well, even if someone wanted to make a perfect poll about the 'Men of Mac', you can't. There are 13 choices and the poll has a limit of 10!!!!

michelej1 05-26-2010 11:22 AM

It's funny that Dave Mason has so much independent recognition and work (before and after Mac), yet even in a serious poll he would probably not get that many more votes than Brunning.

I didn't know who he was, but I became aware of his name before I heard of FM, because I had a Jackson 5 album from like 1972 with Feelin' Alright on it and I was reading the liner notes. It actually had him down with them as writers, but they often would list the performer as a co-writer in those days.

goldustsongbird 05-26-2010 09:58 PM

In the absence of Bob Welch, my vote goes to Harold.

MissLadyLoki 05-27-2010 06:52 AM

I had to go with Lindsey in this one. He has the edge of being both a musical genius and hot.

I like Dave Mason's older solo work (before FM). It isn't that I dislike him, I just didn't like his work with FM as much as songs I had already heard from him.

estranged4life 05-27-2010 09:19 AM

John rules...
 
fire the rest. :D

Dont' forget though that while Brunning doesn't have the recognition he certainly has a similar level of output to Mason. He's got about 12 albums to his name even without counting the Tramp albums...a similar number to Billy Burnette. At a quick flick through my iTunes show I have about 19 Mason albums, but if you take out the live/rehashed albums it drops to about the same as Brunning and Burnette.

EDIT

Oh and if you take facebook as a quick poll (and you probably shouldn't) about the relative popularity of Mr Mason vs Mr Brunning - the Dave Mason official page has 10581 fans, the only Brunning related group is mine, which has a grand total of 6 members - including myself, wetcamelfood and chiliD off of here!
