Both Fleetwood and Walker also play guitar. Though not sure if Walker ever did with FM.

To each his own, but I am not sure that I would put any of those guys ahead of LB. Sure, they are great " blues" guitar players, but Lindsey's ubiquitous sound and finger picking style are in a realm all unto themselves. Except for perhaps Leo Kottke and Chet Atkins, I can't think of anyone better than Lindsey in that particular art.....

Ricks a totally different style too and the Macs output after he and Billy joined the band reflect that. They were just not the same without LB. Just as Journeys recordings AFTER Steve Perry were not the same ( nor as good) after he left..........

Ther are some die hards that believe the Mac died after Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer and only acknowledge the band before the " white" album. They don't know what they are missing.

Interestingly I prefer the pre and post lindsey sound. Lindsey is a great player but dare i say if you've heard a couple of his songs you've heard them all. Certainly not helped by the vocals .

Each guitarist brought their own unique style to Fleetwood Mac. That diversity of influences in the arc of their history is why the band is so intriguing!

Of course it was never the same - when Peter left...when Bob left...when Lindsey left... etc... You may have your own personal preference, but I find value in all configurations of the band. It's been a fascinating twisting and turning journey.
