At least they rated a mention unlike poor Bob Brunning and Dave Mason

Bob Brunning?? Are you serious?? The man's a leach!! He played on one Mac album and a few gigs before John woke up and got on board. I haven't heard any other material he's ever played on to be 100% honest but he turned me off years ago with his constant publishing of one book after another about the Mac. He's tried to make a career out of writing about the Mac and having read only one of his books, I had to have a stiff drink and try to forget I'd ever tortured myself in such a way. The man's writing is so poor that I personally believe reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace" in the original Russian backwards in the bathroom mirro might be easier (and I can't read Russian!!)

Dave only had the "Time" album with Mac and I honestly just forgot about him! My bad!

I just can't get into Dave and Bob W. Just can't. I've honestly tried. If you truly believe they are that good, then I will committ to keep trying. You never know, I may eventually change my mind, but it could take considerable time.

Actually given that Brunning doesn't do a lot of vocals on his Tramp, Brunning Sunflower and De Le Blues Band albums they are very enjoyable. Certainly not in the FM league, but enjoyable anyway. (Think of going to the pub to see a blues band - that is Brunning & Co).

Don't worry you probably aren't the only person. He's had 40 years of albums and I only like one or two of them (26 Letters, 12 Notes was excellent though).

Lets be honest, Weston not so much so, but Dave W is great, you seriously have to listen to Walking Underwater or Mostly Sonny. Feel free to PM me and I'll upload you a copy if you can't bring yourself to actually purchase them

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna (or Wild Heart)
Christine McVie - Christine Perfect (simply because of I'm On My Way; I can listen to that song on repeat all day and never tire of it)

I have used those exact words before. He wouldn't bug me if his book on the Mac weren't so irresponsibly written.
