I've always considered Mick a bit of a dufus personally -- venal, irresponsible & misguided -- but he's always been my favorite drummer in rock & roll, & I'm practically grateful that he was Fleetwood Mac's drummer all these years based on musical reasons alone (that plus the fact that it's kind of cool to have such a tall drummer in your band). I would not have fallen so deeply in love with Fleetwood Mac's music had it not been for his propulsive, pared-down attack on the skins. That is as much a part of the signature Mac sound as anything else.
And it's always been my theory that Mick's height & body frame play an integral role in his sound, just like Christine's physical characteristics influence her style.
