Pre or post, they are two different bands with the same terrific rhythmn section deserving the name.

As for me, I like Fleetwood Mac...I have since the beginning, through all the personnel changes, right up to today. Do I have preferences of incarnations? Sure. I've gotten to think that due to message boards like these have actually caused my appreciation for certain incarnations of Fleetwood Mac to diminish due to the apparent Idolatry of certain members (in my mind, it's some of the latter day incarnations members).
Then I think, well, I'm just as bad as they are because I'm guilty every so often of that same idolatry, only of different members (then the "Snob" in me is unleashed..."MY Idol is better than YOUR Idol" type thing). But, would I have even thought about idolizing band members if it hadn't been for the Internet & fan message boards? Would I get into these virtual verbal arguments had it not been for technology? Probably, but not nearly as much, nor on such a public scale.
Thank you, Jeremy, for keeping my thinking grounded & centered.
