Fleetwood Mac are a British/American rock band formed in 1967, that have experienced a high turnover of personnel and varied levels of success. From the band’s inception through the end of 1974, no incarnation of Fleetwood Mac lasted as long as two years.
The two most successful periods for the band were during the late 1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter Green; and from 1975-87, with more pop-orientation, featuring Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The band enjoyed more modest success in the intervening period between 1971 and 1974, with the line-up that included Bob Welch, and also during the 1990s which saw more personnel changes before the return of Nicks and Buckingham in 1997, and more recently, the departure of Christine McVie.
The only member present in the band from the very beginning is its namesake drummer Mick Fleetwood. Bassist John McVie, despite his giving part of his name to the band, did not play on their first single nor at their first concerts. Keyboardist Christine McVie has, to date, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House.
The band was started in London in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green, who recruited the rhythm section of John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers: drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass guitarist John McVie.

Words cannot express my love for this band, from first hearing Rhiannon as a child when it first hit the airwaves. FM music has got me thru some of my darkest days & I dare say we will never see another Stevie, they broke the mold with her. Now I have my own Rhiannon Autumn running around & she just loves her song!!!!!!

Peter GREEN. I think my avatar says it all. Great musician. Great Writer. Great Man. I could tell you about my life and keep you amused I'm sure... About all the times I've cried, and how I don't want to be sad anymore. How I wish I Was In Love :-(

Why isn't the self-titled 1975/White Album included in the discography? Weird.
