Default These Strange Times
I've always like this song for soem reason, but I know quite a few don't seem to care for it. So let's see what the masses think.

I hate Mick, but I love that track.

Love that whole album, in fact.

Guess that goes back to not giving a damn about what's considered "cool."

I think I grinned from ear to ear the first time I heard that track. I really, really dug it and its prog-rock vibe... and I still do.

You hate Mick

Anyway - "These Strange Times" is probably my least favourite track on "Time" and it could be my least favourite Fleetwood Mac song...

C'mon, Mick's an idiot. Look at his business history.

Yes I agree.

I can't stand it - it drives me mad

Mick should stick to drumming - which reminds me of a joke:

Q: What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?

A: A drummer!

"These Strange Times," I have listened to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." I know "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a friend of mine. "These Strange Times," you are no "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."

I like it. Mick plays some tasty lead guitar on the track, as well. He obviously learned how to play from some of the best...whether directly or by osmosis.

Bandmates:
Peter Green
Danny Kirwan
Jeremy Spencer
Bob Welch
Bob Weston
Lindsey Buckingham
Billy Burnette
Rick Vito
Dave Mason

Ex-Brothers-In-Law:
Eric Clapton
George Harrison
