<Just kinda boring - Fleetwood Mac post-Green>
As I wrote in my "Tusk" review on Unsung a couple of years back - I disagree, I'll probably get crucified for this by some of my more Brit-blues -boom friendly fellow HHers, but I like the late 70s stuff better than the Green era (with the exception of the admittedly gorgeous "Albatross", which is perfect for MDMA comedowns). Technically brilliant and emotionally on edge he may have been, but white middle class English kids singing the blues has never been my thang.
Not onlyt that, "Tusk" is an unsng masterpiece of an establisheed group going aganst the grain that would rival "Metal Box " or "Kid A". And rumours is one of that rarest atrifacts - a perefect pop album that actually sold in astronomical figures (rather than ending up on "C86".
