Stevie. Only FM memeber with a#1 hit single!

Just sayin.

Hi Stevie, congratulations!

Who cares? It doesn't make the rest of them any less talented.

What are you sayin'?
That the mark of what is good is what the public buys?
I've never subscribed to that. I didn't buy Rumours because millions of others had it.
If everyone else is subject to under-top 40, so be it.

Is your handle named after Nico with the Velvet Underground? OMG I saw a documentary on her once that blew my freakin mind.

Yes, she's one of my favorite female artists of all time and, imo, one of the most innovative, creative, amazing, beautiful women in rock and roll history. I found her entire life story exhilarating and I have loved her, and the Velvets, for the majority of my life. Now this was a true gypsy.

HEY WOLF!!! I am loving this thread. It was simple. It was out there. I love it. I bet Carrie really had something nasty to say. Good thing I get to ignore her now and can't read what she writes! It's awesome! Life is good on the LEDGE!

iamnotafraid- haven't you and I had disagreements before? Maybe not knock outs, but still. Why would we waste time arguing with ourselves? People can be so funny.

I was just talking to wolf on yahoo... Or was I talking to myself??? Oh, the intrigue! LOL

I know, right?! We should all get together and take a photo... Just to prove how silly some people can be... What about EDGE? DAVIDM? RADAR? I met all these people. They know me.

[LukeA]

A few years back, I remember looking at the spins for the top 50 Classic Rock stations in the country over the most recent quarterly period. "Go Your Own Way" outplayed any other FM song on all 50 stations, most of the them by a ratio of about 2 to 1. Second was "Don't Stop" (!), followed by "Rhiannon" and then "Dreams".

Maybe this is just my perception, but I think "Rhiannon" has had more staying power (in terms of its collective popularity at the present) than "Dreams".

I note some hostility here and I'm wondering if it's real or sarcasm...I'm never "in the know" about what goes on on these boards. I don't come on as much as most and I probably spend too much time on Lindsey's board (f*9% yeah!)...:shrug:

You selfabsorbed americans. Dreams was never #1 over here. Go Your Own Way was.!!!

And Oh Well in '69".

[trackaghost]

Well in the UK the only number one by Fleetwood Mac was Albatross and, it was re-released a few years later and charted again, making number four! Take that Stevie Nicks! :laugh:

[trackaghost]

Yes, she's one of my favorite female artists of all time and, imo, one of the most innovative, creative, amazing, beautiful women in rock and roll history. I found her entire life story exhilarating and I have loved her, and the Velvets, for the majority of my life. Now this was a true gypsy.


Kind of ironic in a way that a thread boasting about record sales turns into a conversation about Nico and The Velvet Underground, a band that sold very little yet made a bigger impact on music than many acts that sold millions.

OMG this is too f***in funny. And probably just adding fuel to the guys fire. Imagine someone that f***ed up that they would post all these responses trying to disprove the guys accusation. Oh am I so loving this it is beyond hilarious now.

It's actually happened quite a few times on The Ledge believe it or not.

[kennation]

why such hatred for Stevie? It's a shame you can't just enjoy the music without being such asses. It's a shame that most of you AREN'T here to support the entire band, or even the music. For a select few it's almost an obsession. :rolleyes: Calm the F* down. Laugh a little. Get over yourselves.

Kenn, you know, sometimes people are just kidding. I love Stevie Nicks, hell I even flew to the States from the UK just to see her play live. It doesn't mean that when I talk about her it all has to be rainbows and unicorns and I certainly don't get offended if people don't love every single thing she does. Even Carrie, who you have painted as someone who loathes Stevie, has written more positive things about Stevie over the years than not.
The fact is the thread was posted to be antagonistic and, while it's great that Dreams was the Mac's only US number one, you can't expect to start a thread like this and not get people offering opinions etc. The funny thing is too that there's hardly any anti-Stevie talk in this thread.

Maybe. Maybe not. There are several people who take every chance they can to bash lil' Stevie. Not that she is my shining hour, any longer, but her contribution cannot be denied. Check other threads... You must admit, if it's not the Stevie forum there is something nasty about her.

Yeah, the thread may have been antagonistic, but it almost serves as a moment to enjoy, and laugh about. Right? Surely, you can agree, it's pretty funny that the the subheading was, "I'm just sayin..." That's funny.

[Lindsey Jr.]

Since the other members never had a number 1-hit, I'll quit listening to the Mac. It's just... too much... :shocked:

It was not posted to be antagonistic. That is your perception. I posted it as a fact and to give her some props.

I looked for psotive headings on threads in this forum specific to nicks and could not find any. Others have them.

In your view then one cannot start a thread that praises nicks because the op is just being antagonitic? Please rethink that one. That thinking is seriously wrong and unfair.

[shackin'up]

Well, the fact was one from a narrow view. She's not the only Fleetwood Mac member with a #1 hit. In my part of the world Lindsey is the only current Fleetwood Mac member with a #1 hit.

So as far as, "narrow" views go... I would say the fact is what it is and you cannot be mad at it. Well, you could, but it would do you no good.

[Peestie]

Now, in my man Lindsey's defense: He rocks the sh*t out of a concert. Still, to this day, THAT MAN ROCKS! Regardless.

Why do you need to defend Lindsey? His work on Dreams is what made it a song that was worth listening to. :wavey:

Anyway, Dreams was a Fleetwood Mac song so, unless she's had solo #1 singles (I don't know), then she isn't the "only member with a #1 hit single". They were all on Dreams so they've all had a #1 single. :p

And if I remember correctly, we over here seem to have taken Christine to our hearts more than any other member. Everywhere was never no.1 but it came extremely close, as did Little Lies... but nothing else to write home about as far as number one's go..THEY'RE the facts.

They may not have been, but Albatross was. Dreams wasn't. We've been through this. More people over here know Dreams as "Oh, isn't that the thunder song that The Corrs did?"

[michelej1]

In Mick's book there was a letter from Stevie pointing out that Dreams was the band's only #1 hit. I thought that was pretty funny.

Christine has said that was a regret of hers, not having one of her songs get to number one.

Please. Of course you can start a thread that is positive about Stevie without it being antagonistic but the title of this thread is pitting her against the other members as superior in some way. I'm not saying it isn't funny or true or whatever but you post something obviously hoping to stir up some drama, "look Stevie is better than the other members" then act surprised and hurt when people challenge you on it.
And there are plenty of positive posts about Stevie on The Ledge, the majority are positive in fact, you just choose to focus on the few negative ones.

But were they number 1? Nope. Sorry. Define facts for me, as you believe it to be defined.

She's never had a No.1 in Ireland where DigYourGrave is from. I believe that's what she was saying. Christine has come closer to being number one than Stevie there.

I love Stevie to death but here in the UK most people don't know who she is. Her biggest solo hit was Rooms On Fire which got to No.16 I think back in 1989. Peter Green is far more famous here and Mick Fleetwood of course, mainly due to his infamous stint as host of the Brit awards :laugh:

Yeah, loads of people over here know Peter Green. I don't know anyone that's a similar age to me that had heard of Stevie before I mentioned her but plenty knew Peter Green and they all know Fleetwood Mac.

When I was saying "over here" I meant N. Ireland as part of the UK, but if we're taking it as part of Ireland, then FM have never had a #1 single. The best they did was #2 with Everywhere. Albatross got to #5 and according to http://www.fmlegacy.com/charts/IREcharts.html Dreams either wasn't released in Ireland or it didn't chart at all. :shrug:

[kennation]

I know that's what you meant, but it's hardly like she's the only reason it was a good track and was a hit.

Right on, I agree. I was only saying that she is the only credited artist/composer for that track. I think that without Lindsey our Stevie Nicks would be a teacher somewhere doing Karaoke on Tuesday evenings. LOL

Christine hit #1 in the US with Got a Hold On Me. It was the A/C Charts - but still a number 1

[wolfontherun]

Please. Of course you can start a thread that is positive about Stevie without it being antagonistic but the title of this thread is pitting her against the other members as superior in some way. I'm not saying it isn't funny or true or whatever but you post something obviously hoping to stir up some drama, "look Stevie is better than the other members" then act surprised and hurt when people challenge you on it.
And there are plenty of positive posts about Stevie on The Ledge, the majority are positive in fact, you just choose to focus on the few negative ones.



She's never had a No.1 in Ireland where DigYourGrave is from. I believe that's what she was saying. Christine has come closer to being number one than Stevie there.

Surprised and hurt? from anons in a chat room? hardly. annoyed? absofreakinlutly.

Well in one way she is superior to the others in that she had the # hit . Sorry I know that makes some here angry and jealous.

HAHAHA :rolleyes: Her oldies act her her on the radio!!! Oldies! HAHAHAA

[DigYourGrave]

I am not seeing Everywhere as a number one hit, anywhere. Please give me your website information, or where I can find it. Thanks! :rolleyes: (Just for good measure.) Because Everywhere only went to number 2... Based on the information I have.

I never said it was number one! Jeeeez.. I said it came extremely close.. as in, whats close to number one; number two!

Please give me your website information? Wtf?
I didnt look it up, I remember it as something I heard or read once. Fleetwood Mac have never had a number one in this country, this country being Ireland. Everywhere was number 2. Little Lies was like a top ten aswell. And I assure you, I am my own FEMALE person. Peestie is MALE.


Whatever... I'm bored of this needless conflict...

The speed at which some people on this board get defensive about their respective favourite FM members is absolutely ridiculous... I ask again, what was the point of starting this thread? A thread with an inaccurate title, might one add..:rolleyes:

I'm out!:blob2:

[DigYourGrave]

Sorry but most here are coming from an American perspective. No offense to foreigners, my mother is from Europe and I have many friends and relatives over there.

You've GOT to be kidding me!:shocked:
Are implying what I think you're implying?
That just because you don't think the chart records from other countries are important, they don't deserve to be mentioned in your Stevie/Dreams pat on the back thread?!?

Of course not! But before you call this foolish, don't worry- some of his best friends are European. :rolleyes:

[Moz]

What part of the world? On any side of the world she has had more hit singles than ANYONE else in that group. Fact. I love Lindsey as much as the next fella, but facts are facts. :shrug:

He lives in the Netherlands, where GYOW and Oh Well both made no. 1. Here in Canada, You Make Lovin' Fun and Dreams made no. 1.

Just for kicks... here are number one hits according to the Fleetwood Mac Legacy:

Trouble - No 1. in the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia
Dreams - No. 1 in the US
Whenever I Call You Friend - No 1. in Canada

Interestingly enough, in the US, Stevie has had two top 10 hits with Fleetwood Mac, whereas Lindsey had four, and Christine had four.

Yeah, but Stevie is still making great things happen and she is rocking. She is, without doubt, the most successful member of that band.

That is interesting. She, including her solo, stands above the others. However: that is interesting.

HAHAAAA... You are just as quick to respond as anyone else. Calm down. Breathe. Take an Irish moment. ISn't that a flavored coffee? And no... if we can talk about other countries we can add in Solo. Which means the title of this is hardly inaccurate.

[David]

Which means the title of this is hardly inaccurate.You seem to quarrel with other ledgies a lot. Aren't you having fun just posting here & reading what everyone else says? Personally, I love the interaction. I've been exchanging opinions, questions, & quips with the forum here for years, & I'm as easily amused today as I was when I first started. In fact, my love of Ledge conversation has outlasted my love of Fleetwood Mac. That alone makes it obvious that my band opinions are going to be snarky & sardonic, but I never intend to directly insult another ledgie.

[carrie721]

Kenn, you know, sometimes people are just kidding. I love Stevie Nicks, hell I even flew to the States from the UK just to see her play live. It doesn't mean that when I talk about her it all has to be rainbows and unicorns and I certainly don't get offended if people don't love every single thing she does. Even Carrie, who you have painted as someone who loathes Stevie, has written more positive things about Stevie over the years than not.
The fact is the thread was posted to be antagonistic and, while it's great that Dreams was the Mac's only US number one, you can't expect to start a thread like this and not get people offering opinions etc. The funny thing is too that there's hardly any anti-Stevie talk in this thread.

i give her props when she deserves them. i love that new demo that was released.

Of course not! But before you call this foolish, don't worry- some of his best friends are European. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry but you are just a complete pratt.

You really are.

[fleetwoodtrick]

Sheesh, what is up with all this arguing lately!? Y'all need to calm down. Stevie is a very important member of Fleetwood Mac, but so are all of the other memembers who have contributed to the band over the years. :angel:

Yes, on the US charts, the song that Stevie wrote was a number one. Personally, I feel that almost all of FM's songs should have been number ones! :cool:

It may seem like you are being a loyal, supportive fan by pointing out Stevie's success, but you really are doing her a disservice. With these kind of posts you are supporting the belief that her fans are a little obsessed and for lack of a better word, nuts.

[iamnotafraid]

Stevie's fans are a little obsessed and for lack of a better word, nuts.

You said it!

Back to the subject of "Dreams", without Lindsey there wouldn't have
been the song "Dreams". Who would have been her inspiration?
Then again who would have laid down in the tall grass with Lindsey,
if not Stevie??? (Ledgies don't count)

If you are going to use the quote feature, you should indicate if words are removed, or added to alter the meaning of the original quote. Thanks for representing the other extreme.

I really am a loyal and supporting fan, hardly obsessed. I just think that these boards are fun. This thread has all been funny, to me. It is obvious that people take this way too serisouly.

NUTS? Dear friend, no. My statements are meant, in this thread, to even the playing field and be funny. I just find it interesting when people go off and get tore up about these things.

Pale, you have no idea who I even am. You have no concept. So- calm down.

I understand for some people it's difficult to gage the level of someone's calmness in written form, but I'm not sure why you would think I wasn't calm in what I posted. As far as your posts being funny, it raises the argument; is something funny based on the intent of the person writing it, or how it is received?

Pale, I have enjoyment out of my posts. I find them amusing. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, or how they perceive them. My opinion is not popular, I get that, but my opinion gets other people thinking. It makes other people write me AWESOME messages about how right I am. It makes people write how wrong I am. Either way, it's only a message board and if this is all people have, I feel sorry for them. If this band is all people have, I feel even worse for them. This is just a venue for us to express ourselves.

BTW: I get a lot more messages about how people support what I am saying, but don't wanna get, "RIPPED APART" by expressing their feelings. If that's how people feel on this board, then someone needs to stand up and shoot passive-agressive, nasty comments back at these Ledge-Flaming-A*Holes. That is why I refuse to hold myself back because other people think what I think, but are afraid of writing it.

Paleshadow, I hardly changed the meaning of your statement. I only substituted
a pronoun you used for Stevie ("her"). I doubt that changed the meaning at all.

I admit I have edited other's quotes for comical reasons. (they've been pretty
obvious).

Just curious to what "extreme" I represent?
I've said good and bad about both Stevie and
Lindsey. I do try to keep my post positive if
possible.

[carrie721]

what's really odd to me about this thread is that for all their stevie defending, neither kennation nor wolfontherun have posted about the new stevie demo. it's the most interesting thing we've gotten from stevie in years, but they are curiously mute. rather than have a discussion about the music itself, they're badmouthing just about everybody in this thread (i mean really, going after terry? who does that?).

meanwhile, there's an actual conversation going on involving people who normally think her recent output sucks (like sparky) and people who haven't posted in forever (like vanessa). so what gives?

The point of my original post was to suggest that the extreme viewpoint of Kennation's posts support the belief others have that Stevie's fans are obsessed. Your omitting a good portion of my original quote and replacing the pronoun of lower case "her", with Stevie's name makes it seem as if I said that Stevie's fans are obsessed and nuts. That combined with your statement "You said it" made me feel you represented the extreme of those who lump all of her fans into that category.

Just sayin.

What song are you talking about? "Dreams" is the only song of Stevie's that has ever hit #1 on Billboard's MAIN chart, and, sorry, she may have written it, but the playing and producing is all about Fleetwood Mac.
So, yes, Stevie may be responsible for WRITING the only #1 song FLEETWOOD MAC has ever had, but she has yet to hit #1 as a solo artist, so this point is sort of moot!

Nation will be back to say that Stevie actually wrote the melody blah blah for Dreams, so she deserves most of the credit.
Nevermind the fact that she plunked it out on her portable keyboard thing and that day played it for FM and Lindsey. I am sure LB had much to do with defining that song. So I totally agree with you, the whole topic is moot.

[iamnotafraid]

the whole topic is moot.

That reminds me of the Jesse Jackson skit on SNL.

Debby Boone, No. 1 for like 800 weeks in the 70s. Just sayin.

There's a little snip of Stevie playing & singing "Dreams" by herself on a piano in the 1998 DVD on the making of "Rumours."

It's very ... nice ... but it isn't exactly what had the whole nation hypnotized in 1977.

(Of course, the same could be said for dozens of Mac tracks written by the other members. It's a question we fans have often asked, in so many words: Does the song or does the track have the alchemy? I've always been a proponent of the latter.)

I loved that little bit of her playing it at the piano, and would really like to hear a scaled down version of it. I also remember the part of that documentary where Ken is at the mixing board playing all the different layers of the song, and it just amazes me how it sounds with all of those elements, and every member of the band together.

Nope, not at all. I think you may be right. I wouldn't consider myself "obsessed" with Stevie or the rest of the band, but I have friends who think I am. If only I could get them to visit the Ledge! LOL!
