*shrugs* I didn't even
mention sales, nor would I have, but ok. To me, the first three Rumours-era albums are perfect no-filler albums, (although personally I don't like
all the songs on any of them) and I can't say the same for most of the Bob Welch-era albums (I have a soft spot for Bare Trees especially, but, that final track?). Mirage and Tango surely do have their patchy moments, and if the Rumours-lineup was judged mostly on those, they'd probably get written off by a lot of people too, and I'd say as much.
