However, a belated Thank You to the Ledge for including a forum here for those of us who do appreciate these guys!  
And also to Michele, who always finds and posts the coolest stuff....  |
Amen Brother!! Amen!!
Those of us who really liked the Vito/Burnette era are apparently a minority on this forum in general. It seems that for many people here, if it's not Buckingham/Nicks, then its crap, which is reeeeeaaallllyy ridiculous!! It's as if no other era of the Mac ever existed prior or since and no other era ever should. To be completely honest, it makes me sick!!
I've always thought the Vito/Burnette era had the possibility of a sort of "new beginning" for Fleetwood Mac, much as the Buckingham/Nicks era had ushered in the same thing at that time. Certainly nothing as earth-shattering as "Rumours" was going to come out of the Vito/Burnette era, but great music was certainly a possibility. Overall, I think BTM is a great disc. It holds together well, the songs are generally good, and all the singers contributed to it. Unlike (dare I say it here?) Tusk, where Lindsey tried to do the entire album himself, play every instrument, and then give it to the band. Talk about arrogance!!
OldTimer, we are a minority to be sure. But we will stick together!!!!
