Drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie and guitarist Peter Green had all played with British blues nabob John Mayall, so it wasn’t surprising that the Mac’s early recordings had a traditional flavor. But the band’s third album, unreleased in the U.S. until 1981, found the increasingly troubled Green combining his love for B.B. King with a deranged pop sensibility.

STANDOUT TRACKS: “I Believe My Time Ain’t Long,” “Albatross,” “Black Magic Woman”
