Circa 1982, Who *Was* Fleetwood Mac?

[The Tower]

I love Lindsey Buckingham, but his Mirage tracks were pretty awful. I don't understand why anyone would state that Stevie's music is "boring" or "simplistic", as if Lindsey's music is somehow "complex". Lindsey is an extremely creative producer and a fantastic guitarist (decent singer, but nothing to write home about). However, his songs are NOT complex. Most of his songs are basic I-IV-V7 chordal types, or simple minor meanderings much in the vein of Stevie's minor meanderings. Granted, Stevie is a total one trick pony with her Am G Fmaj7 routines in all their different keys. However, for somehow to infer that Lindsey's songs are these complex musical structures is really stretching it. Complex production, absolutely- complex music, not at all.
