Peter Green. Hands down.

I think what makes the argument evergreen (heh) is that the two bands are so utterly different. There’s no denying that Buckingmac was a pop hits machine and a mix of incredibly talented love/angst song artists... but they weren’t hard-hitting dirty blues focused around a virtuoso. Not at all.

Very true. I love dirty blues, so that’s the only era of Fleetwood Mac that interests me.

It’s not every day that a band is an apples and oranges comparison with itself. Jefferson Airplane through to Starship has some obvious continuity, and Van Halen/Van Hagar can be compared on points, but Fleetwood Mac, not so much.

I can’t think of another band that was so dissimilar between two iterations of itself. I remember very clearly when my uncle put on some early Fleetwood Mac for me, and it blew my teenage mind. I had no idea that stuff existed and if you had quizzed me who was playing, I never in a million years would’ve pulled Fleetwood Mac.

I would like to contend that where the Doobie Brothers decayed , Fleetwood Mac actually transformed. Even the Small Faces -> Faces -> Faces and Rod Stewart wasn’t that much of a jump.

I agree with all of those assertions.
