The Paul Butterfield Blues Band were mighty adept at that sort of thing too. I imagine you like them a lot. They're good.
Although I like the Fleetwood Mac, I guess I'm not a huge fan, but I wouldn't describe myself as "stuck in the middle" exactly either. I'm more "pro" than "stuck in the middle."
It seems in the thread that some that like the band downplay Rumours and, say, Tusk, like they were embarrassments. While some of the choices and production may not hold up today perfectly, those two albums featured what I would term fairly impressive songwriting for rock albums.
Then again, I love R.E.M., but the vast majority of their WB shit makes me cringe, so to each their own.
