David A said "ONE OF the best bands ever, they simply are". Yes, i think so too. ONE of the best (which means that there are plenty of other great bands) for different reasons that he probably explained at least one time in those numerous threads.

Yeah I agree with that

Of course, I must wonder if any of you will agree that the best band that never was is: Spinal Tap!

And Bee's right: you should've just reposted this on another thread

He's been doing this for years.

As TerraRhiannon said, It's all opinion. I love OOTC but to me, Rumours, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were here and Synhronicity are far better albums.

The fact that you don't know GYOW is included in LIVE detracts your thread. Or maybe they sold you just disc 1?

No mac solo album makes my top 100+ of my lifetime. Three Mac albums do though and Tusk and Rumours would top the list.

No No, the best band ever is Villavic and the Lunatics.

If you only see one film the rest of your life it should be "Mickey Blue Eyes".

When it comes to window blinds, vertical blinds are terrific, but so are horizontal blinds.

Has anybody ever died of a heart attack? I mean, really?

I don't care what anyone says, in my book, Ted Kaczynski is not the Unabomber.

Sudden thought: When did sugar diabetes become plain old diabetes?

Of all of the figures of the 20th Century one of the greatest has to be Robert Urich.

I have no tolerance, gang, for anyone who commits arson.

The more I think about it, the more I appreciate the equator.

I don't ever remember seeing a Mormon, not once, not ever.

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick and tired of Nelson Mandela?

Here's the dirty truth, gang, Poland spring water does not come from Poland.

Does anybody remember baseball cards?

Are we still talking about Fleetwood Mac?

Do you not own the Live album? Check out either side 4 of the LP or disc 2, GYOW is right there...in your face.

Unless they release a THREE LP set, to include an entire show, some songs just don't make the cut. And, from what I recall (and can even be heard on the live cut of GYOW), Lindsey seemed to have a definite tuning problem on stage...there may not have been a decent recording (to their standards, anyway) of "The Chain" that they wanted released at the time.

Overkill...they knew when to show up and when not to.

Heck, Pat Benatar has sold more than she has, and yet I bet you people will say that SN career (as a solo act) was better than Pats

Benatar has released two or three times as many albums as Stevie has solo. What's your point?

In 1992/93, NOTHING Fleetwood Mac related was cool & hip...therefore, NOTHING was going climb the charts. OotC is Lindsey's masterpiece but for being released in 1992, it still sounded like it was stuck in 1988.

Wow...that was a long time ago. Still can't let that go?

Mick's the spokesman for Fleetwood Mac, just band politics

Ummmm....not since '75. Lindsey & Stevie took them directly to "pop". Yeah, they can kick ass in concert, but their albums are, as Nick Lowe said, "Pure Pop For Now People".

I mean, you try working with your EX and basically being the reason her songs sound great, and she gets most of the credit and focus, you try dealing with that. Granted, you are making millions, but at the end of the day, it will burn you deep inside

He's a whiner, was a whiner, always WILL be a whiner. The dude had issues.

They must've had a reason.

How much more of it could you take? All the sniping & whining gets old after 10 minutes.

Well, they didn't change the world, they just sold a ****load of records during a short period of time.

How do you know that? Maybe they wouldn't, which is why they stayed...maybe they still owe WB $$$.

Not that he has a wife...that his wife isn't Stevie Nicks...you gotta get that concept.

It’s like, show case your talents dude

And, I'd bet you'd complain if he played the same song every TV performance...can't have it both ways.

Do you ever research the facts before you spew??

Ok, now you're getting into my pet peeve territory...although I'd say the time off BEFORE Mirage was more damaging.

Ever think that Ken & Richard may not WANT to work with them again?
