Fleetwood Mac

Again (and at the risk of beating that horse one more time),

The studio work was pure Buckingham. He was well known (maybe notorious is a better word) for his obssessive (hour burning) behavior. Both "Out of the Cradle" and "Under The Skin" are REALLY remarkable in this respect. Both, and particularly the latter, are a million miles from audiophile style, but a masterpiece of studio work.

Best band ever ? That's funny.

Mac- I think 375 million albums plus 2m to 3m per year is more than a few,lol.
When they were giging and were doing a few gigs at the Royal Albert Hall they could have filled the Royal Albert Hall out for a whole year+ with their ticket sales.

Gawdbless, where does that number for ABBA come from?Searching the net I only come up with a Wikipedia article that looks relavant, and among the biggest selling acts, they by far have the smallest verified sales (49 mil), with a "reputed" sales number of 300 - 370.

But my point was that they were every where in the US in th 70's and 80's and did sell a lot of records in North America (12 mil), but they were not as popular here as they were overseas.

My contention is because we thought, and still do, that they sucked.

As far as the RAH in London, let's not get too excited about the musical taste of residents of the UK. Although they have produced the greatest Rock acts of all time, they don't seem to respect them. I read a few years ago that an Arctic Monkeys album was voted best of all time, with many Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin and Pink Floyd albums way down the list.

Very disturbing.

Abba still sucks.

Arctic Monkeys,now there's some future hall of famers!!!!!
