I'm 20. Been a Mac fan since I was 11. Some things never change.

Hey. The question is, why would I not have any interest in 'ancient' rockers? They're so much better than stuff like Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy, or whatever the kids listen to these days. The 'ancient' musicians I like actually have talent.

And yes, I like the Beatles and Stones; not so much the Beach Boys, though.

Here here! 17 year old checking in here...Stones tickets for Sydney show go on sale on Friday!

I would hardly call them ancient rockers either, people like Fleetwod Mac, The Stones, Beach Boys (Well Brian Wilson) and Paul McCartney are still releasing new, relevant material today.

I think you would be surprised about the number of younger people not in to pop crap, those are however just a very vocal group of people.

I saw Paul back in November -- if you ever get the chance to see him, GO. I'm still amazed four months later. Right up there with a Mac show in my book... it was fabulous.

I am (since I don't mind revealing my age) going to turn 30 in June, so I voted the 26-35 group.
I became a fan of Stevie's around the time Rooms on Fire came out (I was about 13 then) and I also had Tango in the Night.
But I guess I belong to the group that really got hooked after the Dance.

23 days away from turning 50. I remember when Fleetwood Mac hadn't yet come into existence.

They were pretty popular in a number of local markets (local what?), notably Birmingham, Alabama. But I don't think they fared very well around their home base of Los Angeles, and obviously they never achieved any level of national fame.

ok ok maybe not popular in the rest of the world.but in our house ..:-) ..My sister was a huge music fanatic and although I was just a "kid"..I remember her listening over and over to it..Funny though as the years progressed..her music choices changed and she lost interest in the Mac..but I took over !!.

I'm 17 (18 in July) been into Fleetwood Mac on many levels since "Say you Will".

I thought/think that the album, say you will goes deeper musically and Lyrically than any other album that has come out in the last 10 years be it Fleetwood Mac or any other artist. It's been in my top 3 favourite albums (Along with the Dance and Rumours) ever sicne it was released. I think it's the best work the Mac have ever done and that's what got me into them (off course I backtracked from that album and bought every other release and discovered my favourite band) It's just my opinion I LOVE SYW as many other's on the forum have a passion for it and all things post Dance it seems but I have to admit the Dance-present era is my favourite Mac era.

I don't think it's unsuall for a 17 year old to like the Mac I know loads of people my age that know them through there parents and like a few songs plus I know one other finatic. The Best of is always in our UK top 40 album charts so it obviously selling to new and old fans alike.
