Condorito are you actually Chilean?
My nickname in school growing up in Santiago was Huevoduro (or simply "Huevo", especially when playing futbol).

I think the lesson of this poll is, if you have a good rhythm section, name your band after it and see what happens.
The story goes that Green named the band Fleetwood Mac because he always planned to leave the band and pass it on to Mick and John.

i think it was a joke: "peter green's fleetwood mac featuring jeremy spencer"--you've got every member of the in the name right there.

Buckingham Nicks all feel they have been overlooked by their recording label, Polydor. "Hopefully we can get our name known, instead of being buried within the name Fleetwood Mac. People will hear the difference in the music and take notice," hopes Lindsey. "It would take us years to build up the reputation they have. And Warner Brothers is really into Fleetwood Mac. They're not a monster or a giant act, but they consistently sell more albums than they did the last time.
Anyone notice any difference in the music after Buckingham and Nicks joined? :-) Even if they're "not a monster or a giant act" - guess they weren't expecting Rumours alone would sell over 40 million....
― Lee626, Saturday, 28 July 2012 21:37 (twelve years ago) link
In the liner notes to the s/t album, it's mentioned that Warners felt the album would do 300,000 sales, which was 50 thou more than any previous Mac lp.

What other mysterious folky rock should i check if i love "Woman on 1000 Years", "Future Games" and "Sands of Time"?

"Sands of Time" feels very Fairport to me.

I third the Fairport Convention recommendation... Although FC feels more arch and less fluid.
― Clarke B., Sunday, 29 July 2012 01:44 (twelve years ago) link
I fourth it. Particularly the first three albums (s/t, Holidays, and Unhalfbricking) and the Heyday comp collected from that era which IMO may be better than any of their "real" albums. A sample:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzsreQdc2GE
Also, the first two Jefferson Airplane albums (Takes Off and Surealistic Pillow - note: the two Grace Slick-sung hits from the latter are not representative of their early sound). Try "Come Up The Years", "Comin' Back To Me", "Today", "Blues From an Airplane".

Christine was dating Dennis Wilson when that was recorded btw. He often wore Fleetwood Mac t-shirts at concerts around that time.

I think Christine was to provide backing vocals on Dennis's unfinished 2nd solo album, not sure if any of them made it on the eventually-released material.
There is at least one tune out there with the songwriting credit Lindsey Buckingham/Brian Wilson

“Well we’d split up before all that but yes, obviously, I’ve had to ask myself the same question. Why do people stay with people? ‘Cos they love them, I guess. And I loved him for a while. he was very charismatic, great looking, very charming, very cute -- if you can call a guy with a beard and voice like Satan’cute’. He used to draw people into his life, strangers off planes and off the streets, and they’d become his best friends. I think I mothered him, to be honest. He used to go off and I wouldn’t see him for days, and days, and then he’d come back and I’d mother him and get him all nice and sober and then he’d go off and go crazy again. It’s one of those things. Opposites attract.”

heard "Silver Springs" on the radio several times even way back in '77. The first time I heard it the DJ announced it beforehand and I thought Fleetwood Mac couldn't about Silver Spring and assumed it was a coincidence, and the opening lyric convinced me I was right. I only later learned the name did indeed come from Silver Spring, the city.Stevie Nicks usually says in interviews that she saw a road sign for Silver Spring when she was in Virginia. Silver Spring is in Maryland, a state which borders Virginia although Silver Spring itself is a few miles inward and doesn't itself border Virginia. I keep trying to guess where in Virginia she'd come across a sign giving mileage or directions to Silver Spring - probably traveling eastward on the DC Beltway, or perhaps northward on interstate 95 from Richmond or Alexandria.― Lee626, Thursday, July 26, 2012 7:29 PM (4 days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

We're lucky she was on the DC beltway instead of the Baltimore beltway when inspiration struck or else we might have gotten "Sulphur Springs"
