There's a doco about Peter Green. It's such a sad story...LSD screwed up his brain. So much talent but he was struggling to cope with life and the band.

The reason Peter is laughing is the dodgy bongo's and then when he starts playing the riff, realises he's left the volume turned down on his guitar and then has to quickly turn it back back to full. Wonderful!

True, a blues band went to a pop group overnight, without Peter. 🎸💓.

It is removing controversy, removing excellence, writing music with the lowest common denominator so that the largest number of people will hear the HOOK and pay for the product. It is literally to sell out. "Oh Well" is among the greatest anthems of rock history, like Knights in White Satin, Whiter Shade of Pale, Karn Evil.

Lets Look at a band like Marillion "Kayleigh" has a great hook, and musically it's very simple song fits in with your POP Definition while " Script For A Jester's Tear" is one of Marillion's more complex songs and is certainly a song written for those who appreciate a more" progressive" song. so by your logic were would Marillion stand ?

NO, you said it yourself, "by my logic", so you understand that my statement used a basis (other than opinion) to qualitatively describe/rank genres. I use the algorithms of 2nd year "Music Appreciation" to subtract music components from the ideal fully developed composition. The results are not a one-note drone, but very much a guitar/voice like Sarah. Your hate of opinion then using opinion "better" to compare Hedges to Green is an oxymoron. "Better" is not what determines the genre, and I agree with you, there are some real stinkers in prog and by Green. There is the occasional VERY RARE good composition that becomes popular. I know! Seems impossible. BUT the overall statistical average is that pop is soooo bad that it could make the human race extinct. The goals (popularity) and measurement of success (money) are the OPPOSITE of making (quality) music to further the art. I would have been happy to have seen the band continue to LEARN their craft put out the best product that represented their thoughts and feelings even with Lindsey Buckingham. I frankly don't know enough of the internal struggles that lead to their change indirection. I just know that I hate everything about Stevie Nicks. She is the Yoko Ono that ruined the band.

This brings back memories. My parents were typical 1970's party people, and our house was often the venue for their crazy shenanigans. One of the benefits of holding drunken parties is that people forget to take their records home with them (when people owned records of course). This particular Fleetwood Mac single was one I discovered as a child. I put it on.....and it blew my brain molecules to Pluto via Uranus !! On the day I discovered this I also came across Fleetwood Mac's "Green Manalishi" which pulled my intestines out through my left ear and rearranged my rear cleft. Yes, the good old 70's, and good old (original) Fleetwood Mac.
