Who is the most famous Mac member? (excluding Stevie)

I chose Peter Green... I almost chose Lindsey. The two are almost tied with me.

I'd say Peter Green, and I think Lindsey would follow him.

i voted for Peter. although people may not know his name (or that he wrote songs like Black Magic Woman!), for many Peter Green's FM IS FM.

i would think second might be Mick Fleetwood, just because his name is basically band's name.

Same here. I almost picked Lindsey, but when I think about it, I've heard more people speak of Peter Green in general than Lindsey. When I hear of Lindsey, it is always strictly connected to FM or Stevie.

I picked Peter Green because he has the whole guitar legend thing going for him. Lindsey's a fantastic guitarist but, for whatever reasons, has never had that legend build up around him. There are probably more people saying he's a great guitarist in the last 5 or 10 years than before.

In the UK I think Peter Green is possibly at least a big a name as Stevie.

yes - seems that in the last 5 or so years (maybe since he started intense solo period activity, or maybe even before that during The Dance when people saw his solo Big Love), and especially last year when he toured completely alone, Lindsey's reputation as a guitarist has finally starting building up.

How about Bob Welch? He had a few hit albums and songs. I hear his songs on the radio alot. Also, his death got a lot of press.

Dave Mason, too with his fame from Traffic. When I told my friend about FM, I asked him if new of Dave Mason, he said "Yeah!". I then told him that he was in FM, albeit for a very short period!
