The Phonogenics podcasts have gotten a lot of positive attention on the Ledge in the past. This one just did not sit well with some people — and I understand why.

For what it’s worth, I’ve watched a number of their previous videos. I saw Mirage, Tusk, and Tango. Even when the group is discussing a Christine or Lindsey song, conversation often steers towards Stevie and stays there for minutes on end. That can be a sore spot for those of us who see that for many Fleetwood Mac has become Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac.

I just remember the one for Time where one of them said it wasn't Fleetwood Mac because Stevie wasn't on it.

I mean, why bother reviewing something your prejudices already won't allow you to hear something for what it is and not what it isn't (and wasn't trying to be)?

I am a huge fan of this series. Sometimes I actually post them here before Jeremy. I love the different perspectives. Its fun when someone has the same perspective as you or likes a song for the same reason.
But as you know everything is fair game on this board. The ledge board comes up frequently on these Phonogenics discussions. We are discussed there just like they are discussed here. These videos are so entertaining that sometimes they have made me late for work. Jeremy's Stevie imitations are hysterical. He is so good that I think he could have a nightclub act. I would be there every night. He knows his stuff.

Even assuming you do have all your facts straight, it's another completely thing to spout them correctly in an unscripted environment live on camera! I'd like to think maybe Jeremy & co's efforts will also help inspire even more diverse FM fan voices to try their hands at putting out a podcast or the like?

True. Many of us here are fans from the late 70s or early 80s. But there are new fans that came along post Dance and SYW. They have a completely different perspective than most of us here. Most of them admit they are Stevie fans and not thrilled about some of the Mac's other work. That's ok. Its a different perspective and has its place somewhere. I am defending them but like the OP, I too turned it off on many occasisons because it went too far down the rabbit hole of insanity. But you know what, its so addicting that I go back and continue watching LOL
Having said that, because they are mostly Stevie fans, their perspective of Stevie albums is a joy to watch. One guy who was on the RAL video was such an expert. He knew so much that I forgot about. Its a shame he was only on one of them.
I think they are doing Christine solo albums next. Jeremy is awesome. He is funny and so patient to let them rattle on forever. He respects and appreciates everyone's opinion.
