People will go see Fleetwood Mac...they might be disappointed that Stevie and/or Lindsey wasn't there, but they definitely wouldn't be able to say the music wasn't good.

But the five distinct people in Fleetwood Mac is what is so appealing. It's not like Creedence Clearwater which is really John Fogerty or the Doobies who had an ever changing and somewhat intangible group of players at times. A band with two good looking chicks, a fantastic guitar player and a killer, driving rhythm section is a hard thing to come by close to 40 years later.
