Fleetwood Mac

Been digging out loads of old Fleetwood Mac today. They rank up there with The Police in my favourite bands of all time - bands that, although not everything was good, when they were good they were very very incredibly good.

It was quite an eye-opener reading about Fleetwood Mac on Wikipedia - quite a roller-coaster ride of a band. Not only was 1977's Rumours recorded after the break-ups of John and Christine McVie, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, and Mick Fleetwood and his wife, but Mick and Stevie had a bit of a thing later down the line, Christine's later husband co-wrote Little Lies on Tango in the Night, they continued to be a 'band' and play together (admittedly quite on-and-off) until 1987, and the amount of coke they apparently got through would have kept the Columbian economy afloat during the 70s.

What a band.
