The fact that Mick and John were there gave the band a bit of credibility but not a lot. If Mick had joined Elmer Gantry, Kirby, etc back in the seventies would that have been enough for them to be the REAL Fleetwood Mac?

Apples and oranges between the Fake Mac and Time. The Fake Mac was trying to pass itself off as Fleetwood Mac. The Time band WAS Fleetwood Mac. Big difference. I really don't see much of a difference between the time band and other transitional versions of the band (Future Games, Penguin, the first Stevie/Lindsey album). The only difference was the scale.
Can we, with a straight face, say that the Time band was MORE radical than when the band went from being Green/Spencer/Kirwan to Kirwan/Welch/McVie in just over a year?
