I am very sad about Bob Welch's death. Even before he died, though, I couldn't make sense out of his exclusion from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's induction of Fleetwood Mac. Bob Welch contributed many great songs, vocals, and guitars to 5 Fleetwood Mac albums and tours. He really deserved to be included. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Just incredibly stupid and petty that Bob Welch was not inducted into the RR HOF with Fleetwood Mac. I have lost a lot of respect for both Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as the HOF selection board and whoever else was responsible for this grave omission. Bob was fantastic with FM and contributed so much, great song writing, great vocals and guitar playing, and of course great leadership. The tragic events of his death only add to the outrage and sadness of this egregious slight. RIP Bob you are one in a million! Posted by Robert Taylor on Saturday, 05/23/2020 @ 00:09am |
Bob Welch saved Fleetwood Mac when Jeremy Spencer ran off with the Children Of God and Peter Green left again after a temporary reunion with the band.Bob also got the group through some difficult times, like Danny Kirwan's mental breakdown, Bob Weston's affair with Mick's wife and the subsequent Fake Mac crisis and the band's establishment in America. The and may be upset by his leaving and his suing them for nack royalties but he was owed them and he just wanted to point out tbe oversight. Bob's life and work should be honored by putting him in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with the others in Fleetwood Mac.In fact, everyone who has ever played in Fleetwood Mac belongs in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Mick has?always found great talent, but especially Bob Welch. Posted by Jett Woodward on Tuesday, 08/25/2020 @ 22:18pm |

I agree that it was just disgraceful to exclude Bob, but it's a bit unfairly to squarely blame the band for it. I'm not sure if it was the band's choice as to which members were inducted or if it was the HOF committee who made the decisions beyond the band's control.

Did Bob Welch sing "Ebony Eyes"? Posted by Brian Schonour on Monday, 11/8/2021 @ 16:42pm |
Yes, Bob Welch did sing Ebony Eyes. It was a #14 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and #12 on the Cash Box Top 100 charts in 1978. Posted by J.W. on Sunday, 11/28/2021 @ 11:43am |
