| Jun-26-14 | | kevin86: Instead of a steamroller effect, two rooks on the rank act more like paint rollers. Total coverage of the king is inevitable. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Howard: I would like to duly recommend that "perfessor" be suspended from this website for 30 days for his horrible pun regarding "going his own way." Coulda been worse I suppose. He could have said that for Fleetwood, the sky is the limit now, as far as his potential. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | SpiritedReposte: Lol <perfessor> with the best answer to <vanderyacht> hahaha well played. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | RookFile: Yet another 1.e4 e5 game where black has a pretty bishop on b7 that does nothing while the kingside burns down. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | MerlionRanger: "Why didn't black play ...28 Nxe6 ?"
That would have been a losing move for Black right away, for White answers with 29. Bc5, pinning the queen. Black can't retake with the knight either, for it is pinned by the rook on e1 |

| Jun-26-14 | | howlwolf: Doesn't anyone here remember Peter Green, founding member of Fleetwood Mac and writer of Black Magic Woman, Rattlesnake Shake, Love that burns, Green Manalishi and ranked by rolling Stone as one of the top blues guitarists of all time. Or even Mystery to Me, with Bob Welch. All of those incarnations of Fleetwood Mac were superior to the Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie eighties pop band--though I will admit to having a crush on Stevie--quite a babe at the time if you are into the slight, willowy type--which I definitely was. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Jim Bartle: Of course. My post referred to an early song. |

| | perfidious: <howlwolf> You and many others would have had to stand in line for a shot at Stevie Nicks--huge heartthrob back in the day, though not the type which has ever appealed to me. RIP Bob Welch; fine musician and it is a pity that his great physical pain drove him to end his life as he did. I would have no wish to see anyone whom I care for suffer, as he evidently did at the end. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Jim Bartle: <You and many others would have had to stand in line for a shot at Stevie Nicks--huge heartthrob back in the day, though not the type which has ever appealed to me.> But Christine McVie was looking to spare a little of his love. |

| Jun-26-14 | | Robed.Bishop: <Howlwolf> said it all, and <Jim Bartle> knew it. |

 | | keypusher: <Robed.Bishop: <Howlwolf> said it all, and <Jim Bartle> knew it.> Nah, just the standard blues purist I-loved-em-when-they-couldn't-sell-records schtick. Fleetwood Mac (the album) and Rumours were about as good as pop gets, before the band was enveloped in a vortex of white powder. That version of Fleetwood Mac over any other, in a landslide. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Jim Bartle: Great early, great with Christine McVie, great with McVie, Nicks and Buckingham. My favorite is "Bare Trees," the first one with Christine McVie, before the Americans joined. |

| | perfidious: Vote for <Tusk> as my favourite, though critics largely panned the album IIRC. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Shams: <perfidious> Well, Christgau liked it. So that probably means the other critics hated it. <Tusk [Reprise, 1979] A million bucks is what I call obsessive production, but for once it means something. This is like reggae, or Eno--not only don't Lindsey Buckingham's swelling edges and dynamic separations get in the way of the music, they're inextricable from the music, or maybe they are the music. The passionate dissociation of the mix is entirely appropriate to an ensemble in which the three principals have all but disappeared (vocally) from each other's work. But only Buckingham is attuned enough to get exciting music out of a sound so spare and subtle it reveals the limits of Christine McVie's simplicity and shows Stevie Nicks up for the mooncalf she's always been. Also, it doesn't make for very good background noise. B+> Whatever all that means. Christgau strikes me as the classic critic who hates everything, even the stuff he likes. http://robertchristgau.com/get_arti... |

| Jun-26-14 | | Shams: VH1 is good enough to put many of their Behind the Music episodes online, free and sans interruption. Here's the one on Fleetwood Mac: http://on.vh1.com/1jSdo0A |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | The17thPawn: I know the discussion is completely Fleetwood Mac oriented and I definitely enjoyed that band. However, I would have preferred a Steely Dan pun as they are amongst this audiophile's favorite bands. |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | Shams: <The17thPawn> Have at it! D T Steel vs D Rensch, 2001 |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | The17thPawn: <Shams> Nicely done. Now to determine if it should just be a band name pun or a snippet from one of their many songs?:) |
|
| Jun-26-14 | | JohnBoy: I remember hearing Fleetwood Mac about six months before it totally took off. While I loved their blues days, it was blatantly obvious that something had really clicked. That album really catapulted the band to stardom. |
