But so have alot of the old greats. But individually, some wonderful things are happening for the members. On a personal level, Lindsey Buckingham is as vital as ever. Whereas I didn't enjoy Stevie's album much at all, but she still brings in the fans. I can't help but feel that the band is judged because they're not constantly shoving material down our throats. I'd rather them take many years to make an album I love, instead of them pumping out album after album of mediocre dreck as many contemporary artists do.

An "artist" creates. Not REcreates, a 40yo work of art, without putting something new on the palette(I don't count them doing SYLM as new). They're sort of a cover band now, because all they do is oldies. So SYW didn't have anything worth still performing? Hmm...
Their solo careers are where they put their artistic effort now. Fleetwood Mac is just for the money.
