The person I have seen the most after FM/SN/LB is Billy Joel. I think I have seen him about 6 or 7 times (he is great live!). He and Blondie (who I have only seen live once, but they are my second fav band) and Springsteen(seen live 4 times) are the only musicians I would say that I like as close to the level that I like FM/SN/LB... make sense?
If I had top pick another 10 (along w/ if I've seen them) : Tom Petty (2x) Bowie (1x) The Beatles Stones (1x) Patti Smith The Who (1x) KISS (1x) Elton John (4x) The Pretenders (2x) Warren Zevon

Well, I'm one of those people, they way I'm wired, I have an intense passion for a few things, and it is really hard for me to really get into other artists. Of course Fleetwood Mac has been a favorite for over 30 years, but the Stereophonics, who's picture of myself and the band is in my sig, has come the closest to approaching the passion I have for Fleetwood Mac. I have only seen the Stereophonics 2 times, once in Minneapolis at a club called First Avenue in 2005, and in 2008 in Washington D.C at a place called Club 9:30. I also am a big fan of The Sundays, but Ive only seen them once, in 1997 at First Avenue in Minneapolis.

I dont think I'm as obsessed with anyone as much as Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac - Think my friends are tired hearing about it!!! lol
The only other bands that I think are almost as good would be: 1. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - This band can be so musically intense. Here Springsteen has got probably some of the greatest musicians working with him. Credit to Roy Bittan who played with Stevie for Bella Donna. This band can move you to tears with songs like 41 Shots @ live in New York and then become something almost spirirtual with songs like Mary's Place & 10th Av. Freezeout. Or just a simple rock-out with the classics and some lesser known greats. 2. Elton John (and his band too) - Althouth Stevie and The Mac have written some amazing songs in their day, Elton and Bernie together could put up qutie a challenge. Again we have songs of great emotion musically and lyrically (Your Song, Candle in the Wind, The way you look tonight) and just a good old rock-out with "The Bitch is Back" etc. 3. The Eagles - It easy to see why the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac were always chasing each other for No. 1. The harmonies between each of the guys on many songs are great whilst like the Mac each member can hold his own too. The storytelling of Lyin Eyes etc is exceptional. Other Notable Artsists would be - Aerosmith, Annie Lennox (amazing song-writer), Eric Clapton, Norah Jones, Oasis, Phil Collins, Police, Queen, Tina Turner & U2. I'm definatley too old before my time; Most of my favs were at their peak before i was born (Im only 19)!!!!!! - sorry for the length of this. lol

I guess that my Bob Dylan obsession is similar to my FM obsession, the only difference being is that there is one of him and 16 of FM members so it appears that I like Fleetwood Mac related stuff a lot more.
I guess if I had to choose between seeing Bob Dylan and seeing Fleetwood Mac then I'd choose Dylan every time. I love FM and all that, but nothing quite speaks to me like a good Bob Dylan lyric...

Seems like for the most part we all have similar music taste outside of FM/Stevie, awesome!

I saw John Hiatt when he was a member of Ry Cooder's band back in '83, when Ry opened for Eric Clapton. That was a great night for guitar lovers! Also, just loaded Robbie's first solo album on the ol' iPod, too....that is one fantastic album...every song just hits home. "Sweet Fire Of Love", "Somewhere Down The Crazy River", "American Roulette" are just the tip of the iceberg.

I also like Boston a lot, and Toto, and an old band called Zebra that was pretty amazing. But I'm certainly not about to follow them around the country and catch every single show they do and d-
Oh excuse me, Amy Grant's limo driver is asking me to move my tent out of the middle of her driveway so that they can drive through. Hey maybe she'll WAVE to me, this time!!!
