What happens today?? THE MAC POLL

[foxyluva]

I was a Stevie fan before I got into the Mac, so I chose that. But if I listen to a FM album, Im not a person to skip everything but Stevie's stuff. But then again, I don't think much of any of the albums that FM made in which Stevie was not involved (I don't like the transitional years 70-74 or the "Time" period of FM. I do however like the Peter Green era )

I love those "transitional" years a whole lot. I don't know why. And I wasn't crazy about them in my first years of fanaticism. But in recent years they have taken on a burnished glow, a soft satiny lustre, steeped in the honeyed memory of nostalgia, like that moment in art history when the Barbizon School gave way to the summer sun of Impressionism.

Plus, I now like the actual sound of the band in the early '70s! Maybe it's because it's the style of band I always wanted to be in but never found. To me, "Dragonfly" is the epitome of the style of those years.
