Don't get me wrong...I love later Fleetwood Mac. I played a hole in my first Bare Trees LP. Lindsey Buckingham is one of the great talents in the business.

But the 60's British blues? Fleetwood Mac, Savoy Brown, Cream, John Mayall, Alexis Korner, Long John Baldry...I still love it. And...they woke me up to Muddy, BB (and Freddie and Albert), John Lee Hooker, etc., etc. Americans were idiots, listening to Bobby Rydell and Fabian...it was the Brits that brought us around.
