Kinda surprised there doesn’t appear to be a thread on this.

I’ve always been a big music fan, a major part in my life. With all that’s going on, maybe folks out there have the same passion and would like to share it? If this thread takes off, we will get a ‘feel’ of what others like, and can make suggestions? As for my tastes, I guess they could be described generally as rock music, blues, folk and some classical. I was thinking that if we could limit it to the more obscure/less well-known tunes? No Beatles, ABBA, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers etc, we’ve all heard them already.

I’ll kick it off with this from Supertramp...

'Man of the World', 'Oh Well' Parts I & II, 'The Chain', 'The Green Manalishi [With The Two Pronged Crown]', 'Tusk', 'Oh Daddy', 'Shake Your Money Maker' etc. In fact,just about any Fleetwood Mac track will suit. 'Dragonfly' is a nice mellow track for a peaceful afternoon in the Spring sunshine.

As well as following PG in the mid 60's - when Fleetwood Mac was a proper blues group before Christine McVie came along and ruined it, I saw him 10 (or was it 15?) years ago, in Beverley when he played a gig in the little theatre in the Market Place with a reassembled Fleetwood Mac. He was still good, but a shadow of his former self, the drugs and his lifestyle obviously having taken their toll. It brought back many happy memories of once seeing him play with Clapton and Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, but it was also quite sad.

I recall seeing him on tv, playing with his Splinter Group. It made for saddening watching. I actually like both versions of ‘Mac’, both very different 🙂
