Same name, many of the same members, 2 completely different styles of music.
I prefer the Peter Greene Nasty Blues Bare Trees Mac. A true blues band.
While I admit that Stevie Nicks brought A LOT to the post-Greene era.
You?
I like both eras, but there's another era between those 2 that is forgotten about: the Bob Welch years which produced some great albums like Future Games. IMO, Bob Welch doesn't get enough credit for the way he bridged the gap between the "two" eras of the band: the more Blues rock Green era & the more Pop Rock Buckingham-Nicks era.
shareAgrred that Welch is under appreciated and a major contributer to FM.
shareI have practically forgotten the Peter Green era of the band, I don't hear any songs from that era on the radio. It seems you have to rediscover that era by re-listening to those albums. To me the Bob Welch era & Buckingham/Nicks era had the radio staples I grew to love. Don't forget Welch's gems Hypnotized & Silver Heels.
shareAbsolutely. Bob Welch is the forgotten Mac who is long overdue full credit & recognition for his era of the band.
