Asked what modern rock bands he's fond of, Buckingham says he likes "some of the indie stuff," along with brooding alt-rock bands like Radiohead and Death Cab for Cutie. "I also really like Elliot Smith," says Buckingham. "He's like a John Lennon on downers."

Reading that stuff horrifies me.

That Lindsey hasn't said he thrilled to Electronic's Twisted Tenderness, Travis' The Man Who, Scritti Politti's White Bread Black Beer, New Order's Waiting for the Sirens Call, Morrissey's You Are The Quarry, Cinerama's Disco Volante much less responded to dance (David Morales' Two Worlds Collide), folk (Iris DeMent's Lifeline), hip hop/r&B (R. Kelly/Jay-Z's Best of Both Worlds), Timbaland's production advancements (FutureSex/LoveSounds, Shock Value), political gay pop (Pet Shop Boys' Release) -- the peaks of the decade -- is the reason that his music is limited -- post-Say You Will, another peak -- not only in its appeal but also in its scope and vision. Hopefully collaborating with Fleetwood Mac next year (and a new producer -- hope hope) will open up his ever-refining skill and sensitivity.
