This is a worthwhile point to make: Fleetwood Mac is a strange band in that the two nameholders - the rhythm section, Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John MacVie (bass) - were in control of the name and the finances but were never particularly responsible for the essential sound of the band at any time. It was always certain musicians that came through the band that provided its character and its signature songs in any given era. Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, then Bob Welch, the Christine MacVie (nee Perfect) came in before Welch decided to leave and amicably introduced Nicks and Buckingham to the band. THEN we saw the classic lineup that gave us albums all the way from the self-titled 'Fleetwood Mac' (featuring Nicks' megaclassic 'Rhiannon' and Christine MacVie's anthem 'Don't Stop') to the unstoppable 'Rumors' ('Dreams', 'Go Your Own Way', well, basically the whole album was one long string of hits) all the way to 1987's 'Tango in the Night' with hits like Christine MacVie's 'Little Lies'. Mick F. and John M. certainly did their heavy lifting as the legendary rhythm section but you can never reduce any of those other players throughout those years to mere sidemen. It was almost as if that band had a modular character in terms of its signature sound. Take this player out, put these players in, and it's a whole new band, which is what happened in 1975.

The Welch years with Fleetwood Mac are the best. First FM song I heard was "Morning Rain".. 'Future Games' was one of the first few albums I got, and always played both sides beginning to end. There was a 'shift' between 'Bare Trees' and 'Penguin'... maybe because Danny was gone. 'Heroes' (IMO) was the last good FM album. When Bob died, I had to put on "Coming Home" - don't know who wrote the lyrics, but they hit me after Christine passed a couple days ago.. like a message from beyond for Danny, Bob, and Christine (there's a great live version on youtube). Bob's voice and guitar work on this song are ethereal.. never been able to figure out/find the intro lyrics.. seems to end w/"any possible reason to destroy you".. beautiful and haunting song. *Coming Home* We are the hungry ones On a campground that's been and gone Where are all the faces I knew? All the heroes in the bright burning truth Makes you feel real, real good in your bones When the hunger stops, and the truth is known My life, my light is coming home Yeah, coming home

Great player, singer, and songwriter. His stuff was always "cool and hip." Future Games, Hypnotized, Ebony Eyes, Solitaire, Bright Fire, and Angel are always in the regular playlist. The mark of a great artist is the timelessness of their music. RIP Bob and keep jamming in the great beyond. 🎸🤟

Paris was fantastic. Bob showed he could really rock on those two albums, and showed off some great guitar playing. But I think people who knew of him from Fleetwood Mac couldn’t relate to Welch playing such hard rock-which was a far cry from his Mac work. Fans of hard rock likely didn’t pay attention to Paris for the same reason in reverse. Unfortunate when artists are stuck in a box like that. Unsurprisingly, Welch followed up Paris with a far softer sound-which was commercially successful but I liked his Paris albums far better.

Extremely over the top information. Welch was fantastic.

Always enjoyed his music... fantastic talent and may he rock on in 🎉

Everything he did was quality , imho. Paris was so great . I prefer Paris to Led Zepplin and i think that was the point of Paris. Bob loved Led Zeppelin and wanted a hard rock band intgat style .( I could be wrong about that though. I know he said his favorite rock bands were Led Zeppelin and Van Halen during a 1999 internet interview) I think Bob is criminally underrated and should have been inducted into the RnRHoF.

Then I immediately began working backward through the FM catalog So even though I came of age in the mega chartbuster years of Buckingham - Nicks, I always reflexively regarded that era as a betrayal of the Greeny/Kirwan legacy. Especially given Peter’s tortured relationship with success. To me they had become the textbook case study of his worst fears. Danny had such a hugely daunting pair of shoes to fill in 1970, and to me you couldn’t pay a higher tribute to your mentor than Kiln House, Bare Trees and Future Games. Jewel Eyed Judy, Station Man and Dust can stand on their own terms alongside Jumping at Shadows, Underway, and I Loved Another Woman - and there’s almost NOBODY I’ll put on the same plane as Greeny where that generation of players is concerned.

It’s not like the members of Fleetwood Mac hated him, I mean Christine McVie & also Lindsay Buckingham who couldn’t have known him well DID help him out by singing background vocals to his most famous song “Sentimental Lady”. So that was nice on their part & Nicks for her part did have some nice things to say when she learned of his death. She couldn’t have known him all that well either although she said she did. But I’m sure his lawsuit was way after then anyway but still I don’t think Christine would’ve held a grudge to help keep Bob out of the ROFH. I’m not sure how she felt about him then & now but I don’t see her being that type. Mick? Yeah kinda, Lindsay wouldn’t have known the man well enough to to care, plus it was pre his era. John McVie? Who knows maybe. But I still get sad about Bob now & then but this is life. . After all Pete Best never got inducted either, so would you blame Lennon or McCartney? Their respective former bands transitioned into a different era that succeeded both of them so it’s common sense they wouldn’t be thought of in regards to what both bands, Beatles.& Mac would eventually become. Fleetwood Mac with Bob Welch was one thing, but what they were without him was a whole different animal & like it or not their greatness is rightfully going to be considered sans Welch than with him.
