Fleetwood Mac Version1.0 '67-'70 only.

Subsequent iterations after Peter Green strayed became increasingly cheesy...none of them since the middle 70's have sounded anything like the originals. It would've been almost as much fun to watch the Vaughan brothers and Double Trouble team up with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin, et. al., as to watch Elvis reincarnated as a Qawwali singer. What a trip that would be!

Don,

I thought Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan WAS Elvis!

Have you heard the Billy Gibbons' cover of "Oh Well" from the recent Fleetwood Mac "tribute" album?

I have to confess that I love all iterations of Fleetwood Mac. My favorite FM tune is "Hypnotized", which was written and sung by Bob Welch on 1973's Mystery to Me album.
I am an incredible douchebag for not having the Beatles in the top, oh, one.

Hell, we had a great time. You ought to go...get tickets over to the Patel Bros. And not very expensive. Of course you probably won't know what he's saying but who cares! I have no idea what any singer's saying, starting with Louie Louie.

Now this is what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJh0TogkAFM

Yep, too many to list and I have a collection of over 50,000 titles dating from 1956 - 2002.
My favorite is Led Zep hands down. So much fucking talent and Bonham had to go fuck it all up. It was cool seeing them at the Kennedy Center honors last year. I just wonder how much pussy Robert Plant got.
Stones are probably my #2. Saw them at Reliant in 05. Those old fuckers still put on a show and they're still putting out good music. Doom and Gloom is kick ass! I'm pissed they aren't making it to Houston this time around.
