Well they were not allowed in the UK one, and not in the US one, so you would think they were allowed in this one.

 

Its not like they are from Jupiter or Mars. 

I think they fall into the Beatles / Aretha Franklin category here. I mean I'll be voting AC/DC al the way but I'd be very very surprised if Fleetwood Mac didn't walk this based on the usual voters on here. So instead of being a bitch and making snide comments like "you have to laugh" why not get behind something fun thats trying to be done for you?

Only if they're fronted by a fit lass.

Fleetwood Mac (1975 - present day) should be included, given they didn’t qualify for the other tournaments. British, American and Kiwi band members.

The comment was based on the fact they were not seen as English and not seen as Americans, well then they should be in rest of the World category.

 

Pure logic, nothing else really.

Did someone actually vote for Roxette or did I imagine that? 

I mentioned them for a joke.

 

I would also have mentioned TaTu, but there's no duos allowed.

Are Aqua in?

Pre-1975 Fleetwood Mac do not qualify for this tournament. They were a British band and we’ve done the British bands tournament. However, I don’t see why 1975-present day Fleetwood Mac shouldn’t be included, as they have British members, American members and, more recently, a Kiwi. They’re no bigger than some of the other bands, in my opinion. That said, I’m happy to go with whatever you decide.

Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Pretenders got the same.

 

Neil Finn was never and is never going to be a member of Fleetwood Mac. It is like saying Mike Campbell is a "member".

 

They are holding guitars standing next to what is now a Fleetwood Mac tribute band.

I looked Air Supply up to check if they qualified,but a duo and being English bars them.

But Neil Finn is in with his own band at least.

 

I bought his brothers album in -89, the one named after himself, pretty good.

As if Stig would know that. 

 

Duos can be bands anyway. There's no way that Suicide and Sleaford Mods aren't  bands.

Campbell and Finn are current members of Fleetwood Mac. 

 

I’d have Fleetwood Mac, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Pretenders is this tournament.
