When Lindsey Buckingham took over the band, they became something very special, in fact a rock myth.

Well being of a certain age,I can`t recall any blues albums of that time which featured the likes of "Oh Well", "Green Manalishi" or even "Man of the World".
Buckingham was a very different type of guitar player and in that era, Mac had 3 established songwriters, Buckingham, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.
In no way was this Mac Lindsey Buckingham`s band.
He was/is a very talented guitarist, but put it this way.
Without Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac would not have existed.
