me neither. I've had quite a few attempts at liking them over the years but have never managed it. I went to see them a year or two ago and finally gave up on them and walked out. they're shit. definitely original though
no, no fan. remember story when friend of me wanted to buy their album "not available". he couldnt find.

Popular Fleetwood Mac.
Lots of acts emulated the "popular" Fleetwood Mac!

Starting with those who recorded hits with BuckinghamNicksMac members helping out: Walter Egan, John Stewart, Bob Welch (of course, he had been in Mac himself) and then a zillion other mellow ElAy acts of the late 70s.

BTW the blues version of the Mac had multiple #1 hits in the UK, so they were pretty popular :wink:
