Yeah, really no reason to be a condescending prick. I like both versions of the band. Just because music is " pop" or on the radio doesn't mean it sucks. The wrote some great,catchy songs. It is what it is.

And radio did play good music in the 70s and 80s. Sorry you didn't like it.

Mmmm....yes they are. The 80's is an attitude and sound.

There is no difference between 77 and 82 pop bands. There wasn't a committee who said....it's 1980, change your sound. It was all Kassey Kasem top 40 crap back then. It's a misplaced romantic notion that radio was playing "cool" stuff back then. There usually was an AOR Station in any given town that played some deep cut stuff that wasn't the usual heavy rotation cuts other stations played. But those stations were usually not listened to by many people. And they certainly weren't playing FWM.

Sorry man, I just get annoyed by the adoration given to bands that were considered avg pop bands by me and my friends growing up.

Sorry you guys didn't like them, but just because they were mainstream doesn't make them bad. And their sound isn't 80s. Not enough electronics, synths and big guitars. I would argue the early 80s bands sounded more like late 70s bands. I still disagree about radio, but I like some pop music. We'll just have to agree to disagree

Huh? Those two comments you quoted were exclusive from one another. Not sure what your point is, or if you even have one.

An attitude and sound of which FWM did not possess.

You and your friends growing up were/are dirty hipsters. You value your own perspective way too much.

I don't understand this. Pop music =/= Bad music.

Plus, Tusk is not just a typical pop record.

Any Fleetwood Mac fan owes it to themselves to listen to their album. Then Play On.
Pre- stevie...and so much blues! I love Stevie Nicks but always wonder how the band would have progressed if she was never in the band.

Fleetwood Mac- Searching for Madge

This is one of my favorite songs of fleetwood mac

along with The chain, Rhiannon, and Coming Your Way from Then play on

That's a really hard working hypo. I mean, it's not as if you're removing Bradley Nowell from Sublime or anything, but you're in the same ballpark. Nicks/Buckingham were key players.

ETA: and they wouldn't have disappeared; jsut been more good than great.

Which version? Just wondering if the same version I listed.

It's the one with the sick guitar riff, and I'm convinced "My Song 5" by Haim is a nod to it.

ETA: found a link for it. Enjoy.
