BN or FM or solo fan?

[elle]

discussion on possible BN album/tour vs FM album/tour made me wonder what are percentages of fans on The Ledge who are:

• primarily BN fans (i would suspect very small but i might be wrong) vs
• primarily FM fans vs
• primarily solo artist fans (either LB solo or SN solo or CM solo, doesn't matter who is your preference as long as it's one of them solo that you prefer).

EDIT: if anybody is confused by the poll question, you can go with the follow-up question:

if you have a choice of a solo album/tour, FM album/tour, or a BN album/tour as the next step, which would you choose?

in the case anybody was still wondering, my preference is LB solo - although i like his music with the band too, FM and BN are secondary to me. so my vote goes for the 3rd option.

Yeah, I was reading all the BN vs Mac debate here on the forum. To me since Christine left FM in '98, Fleetwood Mac is Buckingham Nicks, since they are the songwriters/vocalists. I perhaps have heard one or two songs from the BN album, but I am wholeheartly a Fleetwood Mac fan. Second would be Stevie's solo career.

...of course I guess the question could be asked of FM fans...which era?

for me Rumours era, then all other eras right in behind.

good question. since the poll is in the Rumours era forum, this poll is focused on that era too.

that's why i put in as solo artists just Stevie, Lindsey and Christine, and not others who are represented in separate forums (e.g., Peter Green, or Mick's various non-FM bands).

[McTrouble]

Solo - which in my case means Lindsey solo.

Don't want any more FM, definitely don't want Buckingham Nicks!

Just Small Machine for me

Buckingham Nicks did one album 40 years ago. It's hardly comparable to the body of work within Fleetwood Mac or each artist's solo endeavours.

I like them all pretty equally.

ok, let me pose the question differently - if you have a choice of a solo album/tour, FM album/tour, or a BN album/tour as the next step, which would you choose?

don't have to guess. so there's your answer to my poll question.

(maybe i should clarify it at the beginning if it's unclear to somebody else besides you...)

As much as I adore Fleetwood Mac, it struck me lately that I love Lindsey's solo work just that little bit more. Lindsey hasn't got a bad album in my view; whereas FM have a couple (I won't offend by mentioning which ones I think are utter crap. I'll just leave it to the imagination lol. Though they're not any album that's been released by the "final lineup/Christine + Final lineup).

[HomerMcvie]

I love pretty much every FM album. I love both of Chris' FM era solo CD's. I LOVE Lindsey's Law and Order, and OOTC. Stevie, I love Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.
But that's pretty much it, as far as solo albums go....

That's two different questions Elle:

1. Which do you prefer - BN, FM or solo?
2. Which do you hope they do next BN album/tour, FM album/tour, solo album/tour?

Clearly, you phrased your question wrong - or you have two different questions.

And that's why I am not voting.

What I'd like to see next is a stripped down organic Buckingham/Nicks album.Even with their spent voices I think it could still really be something if done properly and a beautiful way to fade into the twilight of their long and storied careers.

FM-1975, was when I was hooked , and have been ever since. Then came Stevie's solo career , which I totally enjoy just as much as the Mac, maybe a little more . I have always loved the BN album, and appreciate what Lindsey and Stevie did with that. A tie between FM and Stevie, but if I had to pick just one, I'd go with Stevie.

That said, if I had to choose between what project I would wish to come next, I would without a doubt choose the BN project/tour.

[bluefox4000]

I love FM but I'm more invested in solo work at this point.....Mainly Lindsey. But my interest in Stevie has been peaked with IYD.

The Mac seems, at this point anyway, a dead entity.
