About Fleetwood Mac

The one of the famous British/American rock Fleetwood Mac band shaped in 1967 which has got 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 only member present in the band from the very start 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, come 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 two most great periods for the band were during the late 1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter Green, and from 1975 to 1987, with more pop-orientation, featuring Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The band got more modest success in the intervening period between 1971 and 1974, with the arrangment including Bob Welch, and also during the 1990s which saw more personnel variatoins before the return of Nicks and Buckingham in 1997, and more recently, the departure of Christine McVie.
