Yep...before Stevie & Lindsey joined. They were "underground rock" (or "blues", if you go back further).

I think I'd prefer the latter two.

While are on the subject, Oh Well was used for a Lays chips commercial here in the Netherlands not so long ago. Was pretty popular too.

I'm never talking about before S&L joined, just for your future reference.

I thought it was just me! Yesterday at the Mall I hear Say you Will, then on the radio I hear Don't stop, and then while I was getting my hair cut the played Lanslide '97 version. Stevie is definately in the air

I heard Stand Back at the clothing store "lerners/new your and company

"Albatross" is being used a lot for supermarket ads here in the UK at the moment.

For those on here who were unaware, "Albatross" was a nice piece of music by the popular beat combo, Fleetwood Mac

I heard Lindsey's Soul Drifter this past Saturday. I was sitting down at a local restaurant waiting for my take-out order and they played LB in between The Mamas and The Papas "Monday Monday" and The Eagles' "Hole In The World"

Last week when I was listening to George Noory they played Rhiannon, LB's Trouble and Bob Welch's Ebony Eyes all in the same night for bumper music.

Also Sean Hannity plays a kind of different version of Stand Back for bumper music. I don't know if it is a remix or not.

i think its really cool...i can pretty much count on everyday hearing fm...stevie...lindsey on the radio or in stores...
sometimes it happens several times in a day...its even more so especially if im in fm tshirt which has happened a couple of times...its kind of like my little secret...always brings a smile to me...and i dont know im weird...
its meant to be played

I actually don't mind hearing Fleetwood Mac on the radio every day. I find that it helps your fandom greatly when you hear a song when you're reading or using the computer. Even when you own the albums, a little spontaneous Mac every now and then never hurt anyone.

Since Fleetwood Mac dominated the 1970's I would expect oldies radio stations playing 70's and 80's to play their music. What I'm finding odd is it's being played in stores as background music. For the most part, IMO, the patrons of these places are not FM age...much younger.

Humorous side note: At a Super Bowl party, two young women, early 20's, came in distributing Miller beer material...coupons, bottle openers etc. Both were wearing knee high, black, platform boots. I asked one where she got the Stevie Nicks boots. I kind of got a blank look but she said Nordstroms. I said "do you know who Stevie Nicks is?" She said "no...who is she?" Anybody experience this?

I go to the bank and its Stevie again. An elevator...doctor's office... I've gone years without hearing any FM music...now suddenly its everywhere. All this seems to have started in the last month or so. Is there some kind of Stevie Nicks revival sweeping the country I haven't heard about. (No, I don't live in Australia) Anybody else notice this?

ITA! I went shopping recently at our local outlets & outside a Fleetwood Mac song was playing & when I went inside one of the stores, Lindsey's Don't Look Down was playing. I was pretty surprised. I'm always hearing the Mac or Stevie in our local grocery store. I'll stop in the middle of the aisle, grab my husband & real excited say, "That's Fleetwood Mac!" He's usually not amused. Sometimes I just may give him a heart attack!
