GT, my wife’s fav performer is Stevie Nicks, so I have had huge doses of her over the years, my wife loves the song you posted,her fav perhaps, I prefer Landslide, but it’s just picking between great stuff. She has had a long and successful career both with FWM and solo. I always defer to the misses when we ask Alexis to play some tunes, well almost always…I have my way also and she is generous to me. I like Southern Rock and play with other stuff as you can see.

It's worth noting Auric Goldfinger told Mr. Bond his nuclear device would make America's gold supply contaminated and useless for 58 years...Since this movie was in 1964, if Bond had failed our gold supply would be OK in 2022....

Becky was at my house in San Diego when Michael Jackson did his first moonwalk on television at this awards show....She was smoking pot and was so into this performance when Jackson did the moonwalk, she went wild and ran around my house screaming with joy....I believe she reached it....

Boy am I going out on my limb here, BUT I detest the second, bogus version of Fleetwood Mac and especially the insufferable Stevie Nicks. They are my example of every single thing that was wrong with sterile, sedate American pop in the 70s, which led directly to the rebellion of punk and new wave.

The REAL Fleetwood Mac was founded by a true genius of blues guitar named Peter Green. Green was equal to Clapton in EC's Bluesbreakers and Cream days. In fact, Green replaced Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers when Clapton left to start Cream. Green formed the real Fleetwood Mac with Jeremy Spencer as co-lead.

Green was known as a real sweetheart, and when he and Spencer were naming their group, Green insisted on naming it after their rythmn section, Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass. He told Spencer he knew the group would be successful and he and Spencer would leave in a couple of years. We'll be fine, he told Spencer, but they're just the rythmn section so they'll have a harder time. So let's at least leave them with the name. Thus, "Fleetwood Mac" was born.

Green's group flourished, just as he predicted, with great songs like Black Magic Woman (that's right, it was NOT Carlos Santana), Oh Yeah Pts 1 & 2, the gorgeous Man of the World, Love That Burns, Green Manalishi, etc, etc. Unfortunately, Green has handed a mega dose of LSD on a European tour and never really recovered. He lived until a few yrs ago, and even played some, but was never the same.

So Mick Fleetwood took the incredible gift of the name and hired Christine Perfect, a legit blues player from a group called Chicken Shack who became John McVie's wife. So far so good. But then he destined the group to permanent 70s schlock status by hiring American lightweights Lindsey Buckingham and Nicks. Sold a sh*t ton of records and I acknowledge many loved them. But IMO just like the Eagles after Bernie Leadon left, the serious groundbreaking days were sold out for painfully obvious commercial pandering.

When Green died a couple of years ago, Mick F put together an incredible tribute concert featuring Green's (and real FM) best work. It's available in the PBS archives and all music sites.

You have a great knowledge of FWM....I yield to you...
I just think they sound good and don't give a lot of thought about how they got there, but that's just me....

Lol, I admire your ability to detach. I'm afraid I'm a bit obsessive about 60s british blues guitar rock. Give the original FWM a spin and see what you think.

I am advocating a music contest here on Potpourri, one where the regulars or anyone links their fav song in several rounds, we can do it over time but we begin where everyone posts their first link, we wait 3 days, then we all vote on the best. Then we go to round two….etc

It means we need an open entry time for peeps to declare they are playing, then we set the field….and go from there. Once the field is set, the layout would be declared.

Should be a ton of fun, we can do holiday music later, right now we do best music, who is in? Let’s do this, we have at least 4-5 regulars in here that are good at this stuff…
