Fleetwood Mac


Best band ever?

Anyway, I've been listening to self title, Rumors, and Tusk repeatedly the past 2 years. Can anyone recommend the next step in Fleetwood fandom? I'm not a huge fan of live albums, but will venture in that direction if absolutely necessary, ie Johnny Cash.

"Then Play On" would be next for me.

Be aware that this is a totally different beast bearing the same name. The full version of "Oh Well" on there is a seldom heard classic and worth acquiring just for that, but the rest is worth it also.

Also Lindsay Buckingham's solo work "Out Of The Cradle" should appeal to fans of Fleetwood mac in their later prime.
I acquired my appreciation for Lindsey Buckingham's talent and key role in later FM when I first saw their live "The Dance" concert performance on DVD. He is a true musical dynamo on guitar!

FM has always been a very up and down band to me. Fantastic one moment, disappointing the next. They've always been that way as best I can tell. I have their 4 disc box set which is a nice but imperfect sampling. Even there, the ups are way up but there are a few tunes I find myself skipping through.
How about a Broadway show based on the music of Fleetwood Mac called "Go Your Own Way" perhaps to challenge "Mamma Mia"?

The story could cover all the personnel changes and romantic flings between band members using various FM tunes. Starring Catherine McPhee as Stevie Nicks and Fergie as Christine McVie? Ba-da-bing! Also Mick Foley as Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham as ... himself.
