To date, there is no one excellent history of the band. The best one, by Samuel Graham, was written in 1977 or 1978.
Although parts of Mick's My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac are valuable--especially when he's allowing band members past and present to speak for themselves--it's not a reliable, objective account. The whole bogus band section is a tad too mysterious, and one senses Mick's leaving out some incriminating information that might make Davis look a little better than he ought to. What's more, anyone who thinks "Oh Daddy" was written for him is capable of all sorts of little delusions. But when compared to Bob Brunning's book, Mick's tome is a masterpiece.
