The acronym Fleetwood Mac is often seen as the incarnation of a rock schizophrenia. At first oblique masters of a visceral blues-rock but continuously aimed at a mystical transfiguration, therefore paladins of a new crystalline melodic standard, fairy, enchanted, enthusiastic, also marked by an ineffable world fame.
These two incarnations, which a generalizing point of view could simply define rock for the first part and pop for the second, bring with them the inevitable train of creator personalities: for the first part Peter “Green” Greenbaum, for the second life The couple Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham.
Restlessness vs. re-alignment is, therefore, a possible dichotomy, but it is also a possible continuum. And it is a continuum That from the British lands of the dirty blues leads to the rebirth of the US pop, when the power-pop seems to begin to lose knowledge (and a minute before the songwriting explosion of Springsteen and Petty).
