    Singer/guitarist with Fleetwood Mac
    Albums include 'Buckingham/Nicks,' 'Fleetwood Mac,' 'Rumours,' 'Tusk,' 'Law and Order,' 'Mirage,' 'Go Insane,' 'Tango in the Night,' 'Out of the Cradle,' and 'Say You Will'

Why he might be annoying:

    His singing voice is weak.
    He agreed to join Fleetwood Mac only if they also took his girlfriend, Stevie Nicks.
    He wrote many bitter songs about his breakup with Nicks.
    He is an eccentric control freak who doesn't care how accessible his music is.
    His pet project, 'Tusk,' was the most expensive album ever made at the time, but it flopped.
    He wrote fewer of Fleetwood Mac's hits than either Christine McVie or Stevie Nicks.
    Some of his songs are pompous and pretentious.
    His solo albums were not commercial successes.
    When Christine McVie was asked whether they were close friends, she said, 'Lindsey's not really close friends with anybody.'
    He has a nerdy personality.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a fantastic guitar player.
    When he joined the band, he took full artistic control, and created the musical style now associated with the band.
    He refused to be dominated by anyone else's vision.
    He encouraged other Fleetwood Mac members to explore their own musical ideas.
    He and Stevie Nicks always collaborated professionally, even during their breakup.
