Where have you been!

There have been primarily two Fleetwood Mac’s over the last 40 years the Original 1960's group with Peter Green were really my hero's. I own about 10 of their vinyl albums from the era.

Mick Fleetwood and John Mc Vie have always been in the group regardless of the groups line up, the Chain is from the latter line up, and really is an iconic piece of music that was made popular by the BBC when it was used as the intro music to their F1 programme.

It takes me right back to growing up in the 80's seeing this - it was great!

Indeed. Gave me goosebumps watching that when the music kicked in

[freddytin]

If Kimi and Massa continue the way they started Hoobastanks "Spinning out of control" would fit the bill quite well.

And it's a cracking track !

I can't help but think the Souza march (the monty python theme for those who do not know who Fleetwood Mac are!) might be apt when the high powered and high paid tw*ts f*ck a good race about. just my humble opinion, I'll get my coat

Did anybody else think the 'poodle perm' rock used by Sony in the sponsor intro/exit to the ITV coverage was a bit of a, well, wierd choice?

There was a time when ITV almost got it right: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uuPao2r0cLM&feat... *

OK, it's nowhere near as good as The Chain, but it was the best one they did and they only used it for two years.

*It's Blackbeat by Apollo 440 if anyone's interested.

[10 Pence Short]

I don't know which version of Blackbeat it was, it's not exactly the same as the album version. It certainly was a good choice, though- much better than the current rubbish.
