I'm lukewarm about the post-Peter-Green Fleetwood Mac.

Lyndsey Buckingham is a great guitarist. Really like their 1980 live album. Not Peter Green great but creative and unique in his own way.

The documentaries that regularly air about the making of the Rumours album are fascinating. I'm sure they'll get dusted down again for another showing now. Excess, failing relationships,debauchery, alcohol and drugs a volonte.

Christine lived off Champagne and cocaine apparently.

And in all that madness they managed to make one of the greatest selling albums of all time

Fun fact: When Christine left Chicken Shack in 1969, she was replaced by UFO keyboard whizz Paul Raymond.

Been listening to all the alternative versions of their output post 1975.  They were an absolutely sublime band - just superb songwriting and arrangements, everyone at the top of their game and lending their considerable talents to elevate already excellent songs.  Buckingham was a genius back in the day.

I think Christine was my favourite member, class personified.
