Oooooooooooooh I thought she wasn't on Time. Blah. I'll look into the album though.

Furthermore, using your logic, "Then Play On" isn't a Fleetwood Mac album, yet a lot of fans consider it an essential Fleetwood Mac album that features what could be argued to be Fleetwood Mac's signature song ("Oh Well").

Erm...Sorry?

Don't worry about it, John. We can't all know everything there is to know about every incarnation of Fleetwood Mac right out of the gate. And being that you're 14 years old, I imagine you haven't had much of a chance to explore FM's history.

But definitely do yourself a favor, and, as time and money allow, explore their other albums.
Start with 'Time'... Even though it's missing Stevie and Lindsey (aside from his brief guest appearance), it does feature some fantastic Christine tunes, and several other great tunes as well.

If you'd like other album suggestions, just let us know!

And I'm sure Mr. MacD is sorry for brow-beating a teenager for not knowing as much about Fleetwood Mac as he does.

Its fine, man. I did judge what I didn't know. I'm very much in to the Peter Green Jeremy Spencer stuff, and aware of the history of the band. I just tend to consider Fleetwood Mac to be like, three different bands. Bluesy Fleetwood Mac, That Transitional (Christine Jeremy Spencer) Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey/Stevie Fleetwood Mac, and after the huge popularity that was received by the Buckingham Nicks Mcvie group, I think that "Time" was sort of a CD that seemed from the outside like it wouldn't be as good in comparison. I just don't want to have my mom call "mean old Mr. MacD's" parents...

Grrr... here we go again. Another "if it doesn't have the band members that I like, it's not really Fleetwood Mac" review of Time.

Whatever.

And you forgot one of my favorites, Bob Welch.
See, you really can't call yourself a fan of the BAND Fleetwood Mac, if you only care for it with one or two people in it. It's an evolving entity, that existed a long time before that ditzy, spinning one entered the picture. AND, those of us that like several different incarnations of the band take exception with the other member's exclusion.
You want the best FM album? Go buy yourself Mystery To Me. And Bob Welch looks mighty fine twirling in Chiffon.

Good christ. How heinous it is for someone not to have listened to "Time" because the lack of the Rumours lineup on that particular record turned them off.

Flog him now!

Ya gotta train 'em right while they're young, otherwise they'll get narrow minded.

Very. Now where did I put my whip?

That's not the point. I don't have an issue with people not having listened to "Time" because Stevie wasn't on the album. There are many Stevie fans who only listen to the album on which she appears. The same is true of Lindsey fans. I DO have an issue with people offering a review of that album when they obviously haven't listened to it, and a really big issue with people saying that it's not Fleetwood Mac because Stevie and Lidnsey weren't on it. Gee, somebody better tell Peter Green that his stuff wasn't really Fleetwood Mac.

Once again, my friend, your obsessive disdain for all things Stevie has clouded your vision.
Nowhere did John say that he didn't like/listen to 'Time' because Stevie, and only Stevie, wasn't on it... but because he mistakenly thought the album lacked any contributions from all three 'Rumours'-era songwriters.

And a quick perusal of his "likes and dislikes" list, shows a marked preference towards Christine and Lindsey, not "she who shall remain nameless yet will be mentioned every chance Homer gets."

You see evil Chiffonheads even when there are none... perhaps it's time for a good therapist.

I don't have to listen to a Kathie Lee Gifford album to know it's ****.

It couldn't smell any worse than the TIME album.

Obsessive disdain. I like that. Thank you.
