They would always say "What about Fleetwood Mac?"

- Hi Flav! They always did have a lead singer. But all threeare ridiculously good lead singers. Now their little bro Mac fronts a band - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:43
If we're getting in the nitpicks, also the Who -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:37 2
- I think the big point is that music history is full of stupid things A&R people say. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 16:39 1
  - Well said. -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 20, 16:41
Grateful Dead always had 3 or 4 lead singers -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 20, 16:37 3
- I'm amazed you knew this. I don't think you've ever mentioned the Dead before. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 16:38 2
  - did you order any dates? -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 20, 16:42 1
    - No, I've been a bit distracted. I haven't bought anything cool online lately. Only furnace filters. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 16:44
Peter, Paul & Mary -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 20, 16:32
the Monkeys -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 20, 16:31
Beatles, Eagles -- nm - Boooooker Oct 20, 16:30 1
- Crosby Stlls and Nash -- nm - Boooooker Oct 20, 16:30
They don't really have three lead singers, but yes that's a good retort -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:30 5
- Christina McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and that Stevie girl who'll make her mark some day -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 16:31 4
  - I meant Lady A :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:32 3
    - (The fact that Fleetwood Mac, and Rumours specifically, ever worked out impresses me to this day) - ty97 Oct 20, 16:33 2
      - Bob Welch left the band -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 20, 16:35
      - drugs! -- nm - Tim Oct 20, 16:33
