From The Rock Snob*s Dictionary - An Essential Lexicon Of Rockological Knowledge by David Kamp and Steven Daly (2005):

Buckingham, Lindsey.
Driving musical force of the post-Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, once reviled by Snobs as the beardy, longhaired embodiment of complacent seventies California soft-pop, but since doubly rehabilitated - first, when he acquired an Eraserhead haircut and acknowledged punk and new-wave influences on both his solo albums and the Mac's admirably weird Tusk album; and, later, when Snobs came around to recognizing the Brian Wilson-like production acuity, virtuoso guitar-playing, and sun-drenched harmonies of his seventies Mac work. Now enjoys the friendship of such credibly hip admirers as R.E.M. and Rick Rubin.

* Rock Snob n reference term for the sort of pop connoisseur for whom the actual enjoyment of music is but a side dish to the accumulation of arcane knowledge about it.

Two Rock Snobs may have written this book, but they still managed to come up with a few inaccuracies. Feel free to rip them apart.

i love this and
love that Lindsey is included.
i consider myself a rock snob and Lindsey and FM are quite different from the rest of my musical taste - which is largely way out of the mainstream and certainly nothing you'd ever hear on commercial radio.

I'm too busy being amused by the word "Rockological" to care about the inaccuracies.

Also busy being amused by the "Eraserhead haircut" line.

Take that, Lindsey!

*laughs* I'm going to go around saying "Rockological" to everyone I meet now!

No one's doing much tearing apart, are they?
