Apparently somebody's never heard Bare Trees.


EDIT: The influence on music was a mutual thing, and there is audio that proves it. Compare Crystal from both albums. Better still, compare the live Buckingham Nicks version of Rhiannon to Fleetwood Mac's live version. (John McVie's bass line, essentially a blues bass line BTW, did more for the overall vibe of Rhiannon than he'll ever be credited.)
Yes, well, that's what BN sounds kinda like... a Fleetwood Mac record without the rhythm section. And the rhythm section deserves BIG PROPS for the difference.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
