Working Title: The Band Minus The Face: From YKTTW

Mark Lungo: I rewrote the Fleetwood Mac example from the original version below...

  • In 1970, Fleetwood Mac lost its frontmen, guitarist/singers Peter Greene and Jeremy Spencer, to Creator Breakdown - Greene quit due to stress and poor health, while Spencer stepped out to "buy a magazine", disappeared, and joined a cult. The group went through several frontmen in the next several years before Stevie Nicks became the group's lead vocalist and lead them to the height of their popularity.

...because I thought Lindsey Buckingham also deserves some credit.

Mark Lungo: I removed this:

  • This is how The Band got there name, after Bob Dylan left to do solo stuff.

due to unclear writing and/or historical inaccuracy. The entry implies that Dylan was once a member of the Band; actually, they were his backing musicians for a few years.
