I believe whol heartedly that the man is the main reason why the band performed as well as they did in the US (I do agree that they did well anyway here in the UK). Possibly because of his eagerness to take the band in new directions and make himself unpopular in order to keep them from growing stale. In recent years, this may have happened anyway. But this has a tendency to happen with bands when they reach a certain point in their careers and they become mostly known for certain songs/concepts. They in some respect became victims of their own success. But considering their ability to consistently draw in fresh crowds, this isn't as much of a problem as it could have been. Because as they constantly appeal to younger audiences, there's always somebody to listen, buy their music and go to their concerts.
I sometimes liken Fleetwood Mac to a classic novel. They had their moment a long while ago, but they still create intrigue and keep people talking and enjoying.

I hate to say it Bee, but that's John's arm on the cover of The Chain. Last time I checked, Bucky didn't have a penguin tat, but Johnny Mac did.
Anyways, as for myself, quite honestly, I've never cared for FM album covers at all, but now that i think about it, I like Behind the mask to the most of these. Yeah, I know it's symbolism, but I think I read somewhere it symbolizes how Stevie feels "distant" from the band since Bucky left
