To me a great player is someone who stands out. Lindsey's unique when it comes to playing the electric. He may not be as technically good, but then there's players who have far surpassed Hendrix for technique, but Hendrix remains far more distinctive than any of them will ever be. In a decade where everyone was ripping each other off, Lindsey was totally unique, and that puts him above most of the players of the 70s imo.
Most importantly, the Eagles don't play with anywhere near the passion and sincerity of Fleetwood Mac imo... They're quite bland really.
