I was a Fleetwood Mac Fan first, because I heard them together before they ever had solo carrers. But after listening to them, and of course, growing up in the 80s, I became very aware of their solo careers and projects. I was very much a fan of Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine's solo projects, especially Stevie and Lindsey's. I think it is a natural progression to be a fan of the band's music together, and after learning all about that, becoming curious about their work without the band. Then once you start checking into their solo projects, you see how they are each, seperately, a vitally important piece of Fleetwood Mac. As Bryan stated, I don't see how you could love the band and not love at least some of their solo work.
Maybe, the non-solo people should give their solo work another spin and see it as an extention of Fleetwood Mac; just a small piece of the big "Mac" puzzle. Just a thought.
