Fleetwood Mac are one of those bands that have withstood the test of time and I like them. However, my older brother introduced me to the Peter Green stuff as a child and I was amazed how much more I liked that version of the band. However, as somewhat of a feminist, I had to love the power of Stevie Nicks back in the day. A lot of their music sounds the same to me, but I have a lot of respect for Fleetwood Mac.

Like most of the other '70s pop music icons, they didn't produce the most enduring and influential sounds of the decade. That honor goes to underground bands like the Velvet Underground, New York Dolls, Modern Lovers, The Dictators, The Ramones, The Heartbreakers, Talking Heads, The Buzzcocks, Blondie, Mink DeVille, Pere Ubu, The Electric Chairs, Elvis Costello, DEVO, etc.

The Lindsey Buckingham version of the band was probably the 70's yin to Led Zepplin's yang, a rock band that embodied the mushroom-mellow, sunny california, hedonistic vibe with a coke chaser. Zepp was the heroin-fueled, deep-blues devil in satin, with a coke chaser. Love 'em or hate 'em, they are as intrinsic a part of the image of the decade as ABBA, the Eagles, Elton John, disco and Peter Frampton.

I liked the Blues stuff the best.Peter Green was awesome.They went a bit too pop when the ladies joined.

I prefer the very early 1967-1971 Fleetwood Mac, which was more of a blues rock, guitar driven band.

I always liked Fleetwood Mac; but I have to deduct one star for "Dreams". Can anyone think of a more overplayed song?

Not so groovey.

You can never, never, never break the chain.

One of my favorite groups of that era. They were kind of mysterious and had a great sound; top notch - even if you couldn't understand what the hell Stevie was muttering at any given time.

The Rumours album was one of the best selling albums of all time.
