Interesting. I just have this
feeling that they did not get good critical acclaim. Perhaps it was my
perception that FM was not exalted like other supergroups from that period, like Zeppelin and The Who. Or maybe it was the fact that I picked up on the Stevie criticisms imbedded within the reviews. I don't know. Your response has piqued my interest, and although I've checked one review(Rolling Stone's '77 review of Rumours, which was favorable), I'd like to dig a little deeper. Thanks.
