If it weren’t for him and Nicks,  Fleetwood Mac would never have become, well, the version of the band that made them all rich and famous.  Love ‘em or loathe ‘em for that reason, but without them the fame and fortune that afforded them all careers is undeniable. 

First off, he could play like a summuvagun.  Secondly his studio productions are brilliant. 

A few years ago I tossed Rumors onto my CD player just for the hell of it.  I’d forgotten how damn good the production values were. That alone doesn’t mean anything without good material, and they had some excellent tunes that didn’t get the overheavy rotation on what was then “radio”,  or even worse, the classic rock formats streaming etc.  now.

and a parting shot to defiantboomerang.......right back at ya
Buckingham seems somewhat overrated as a guitar player (personal taste, although if you appreciate grimacing while flailing away at one note he's great at that, and hey…some OK fingerpicking!) and is a mediocre singer although a seemingly passionate and sincere performer, and obviously did manage to write some large money makers for the band so I was surprised he got kicked out of an organization I assumed he owned…or at least it seemed like an interesting decision. I think Neil Finn is brilliant and I loved Crowded House, and he's got a very large bunch of stuff to draw from so it could make the Mac a more interesting show (seen 'em once during the McVie-Dennis Wilson couple period, and saw a Stevie Nicks show once also…both shows were fun and slick). The thing about Buckingham is that he has his own style that I'm not sure is so easily copped (like The Edge…personal strange chops), but hey…Finn and Campbell should at least score a large payday.
