Most polls aren't, even in the "real" world.
They are less representative though when a section of the community (online or otherwise) boycotts them.
Anyway, I'm over the issue of whether polls are good or bad so I'll stay out of it. Obviously the divide between the pre '75, the Rumours and the 88-95 fans is as strong as ever.
Pity though because I was once a one-eyed Stevie Nicks fan myself. Then I discovered Bob Welch and it all went from there. I'd like to think being a Fleetwood Mac fan is a journey of discovery. iTunes tells me that I have 3161 Fleetwood Mac related tracks (band or solo or appearances which, yes, includes duplicates). Now that is a long way from first hearing Rhiannon on the radio as a 21 year old.
So maybe, just maybe, with a little bit of discussion, and the posting of links, and (yes, god forbid) even file sharing, some fans of one era might begin to appreciate the music of another era.
Anyway, the last thing I have to say on the matter is that for a matter of record, only 120 or so of those tracks are related to Dave Walker.
