All a bunch of damned hippies. Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles were the Nicklebacks of the 1970s.

Hopefully Chad Kroeger manages his fortune better than Mick Fleetwood did.

Why is Fleetwood Mac still touring? Because Mick Fleetwood has creditors.

Not quite fair... Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors was terribly over-rated, but The Chain, Tusk, Gypsi, etc., weren’t so terrible.

Don't get the connection with Nickleback.

I remember The Eagles getting a lot of air play in the 1970s. There was a time when "The Eagles Greatest Hits" album was a all time best seller.

Elvis and the Beatles put the ones you mentioned to shame. Hippies? Many 70 years fought in Vietnam. Seems like Millenials and Gen X do not know what a construction job is for summer work at 16-17.

NO WAY!!!!!!!! My husband & I were talking the other night about how awful the SB halftime show would be & then agreed Maroon 5, horrid as they are, will never beat Nickelback in a worst band contest; )

So wish I could have seen bother the Eagles & FM back in the day.....

The Eagles?

We are hippie types if we liked the Eagles?
I guess they did sing about “the warm smell of colitas” !

The original Fleetwood Mac was about the best electric blues band on the planet for the few years it was together without the females. I always regret I missed them live as I did Hendrix. Given the choice, I’d take Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan over Jimi seven days a week. Amazing that the group went from spine-tingling blues to AOR pap in the space of a year or two.

Dangus that’s not fair to any of those bands

There were basically two Eagles versions

And Three Macs

I prefer the middle Mac honestly

And earlier Eagles

But they all had their place

I only know one nickleback song
