Fleetwood Mac made two albums (one peaking at #18 and producing a top 40 single) and did three tours (about 245 shows). Between Fleetwood Mac and solo, Stevie did three studio albums and five tours (around 290 shows), all done before Lindsey and Mick started working together. Hell Mick did a Zoo album and club tour and even John did a solo project. Lindsey didn’t have anyone but himself to blame for his lack of productivity during those years.

Let’s compare them to more recent pop acts:
Stevie is the Beyoncé and LB is the Kelly Rowland. Stevie is the Justin Timberlake and LB is the JC Chasez. Sometimes there’s only room for one superstar in a group!!! Stay mad and jealous LB fans. |

Bad analogy..None of these people were instrumental in getting their respective Superstars to join a band that they were solely asked to join nor did they produce and arrange the music that propelled their more famous band member to stardom.

It's funny. People refer to Stevie Nicks as having a devoted cult following. But Lindsey Buckingham also has a feverishly devoted cult following himself. And as these boards have proven time after time his cult following is obsessed just as much.

You have me there as far as producing is concerned. I was actually referring more to his solo career and his album sales compared to Stevie.

In any event, Stevie is the one who had put her foot down that they join. Lindsey didn’t want to. Quote:

Lindsey's albums are more interesting musically than hers. Stevie writes the same boring type of song over and over. Lindsey takes songs from writing stage all the way through to final production, something Stevie cannot, has not, and will never do. Considering how spotty her solo output is, she probably should have been more of a perfectionist. Check out their Rate Your Music rankings - Stevie's albums are rated much lower than his. Maybe release fewer albums with stronger material? And there is no contest between the Lindsey and Stevie cults. No one refers to Lindsey as "my king". It's more of the usual rabid fanhood sure, but nothing like Stevie's. |

I'll give the devil her due there . She really knew what to do with herself and it is paying off to this day.

Personally, I don’t credit their success to any one individual, and the success doesn’t really matter. My top five solo albums are The Visitor, Gotta Band, In The Skies, Christine McVie, and Bella Donna. Quote:

People assume that sticking up for Lindsey means we are part of some cult. Most of us were die hard SN fans then she changed. She refused to make new music solo for a decade and then has refused to make new music with FM. Add to the fact that she has way overblown Tom Petty's death to make it all about herself. The They were good friends for sure but they were not even married. Using a FM tour to pay respect to someone who did nothing for FM while stomping all over someone who did a lot for FM is pretty questionable. Same with Prince. The way she keeps talking about him lately she makes it sound like they were much closer or spent more time together then they actually did. In my opinion she has become a very different person then she used to be. Some people will disagree and that is fine.
If you go on social media you can see how many groups are devoted to SN and a very unhealthy worship. Some of the comments are comical. As for Lindsey while we can all agree his solo output produced little hits and sales it doesn't mean that the music is crappy. I agree his lack of output as a solo artist is something that has hurt his career. If he had been more prolific and had he toured solo before 92 who knows how successful he would have been. I respect Stevie's solo output though I don't love everything she has put out. I do think though she owes allot of her success to the people who produced and arranged her music. She has written some great music but someone had to take her poems and make them into the gems. As for the FM production. I am sure we all agree SN is and always will be the biggest thing to come out of FM but where I take issue is people who act like Lindsey had little to nothing to do with FM's success. In my opinion he was a meticulous craftsman who arranged and produced the music turning them into the classics we know and love. One thing I don't get is the excitement over the current tour. How many times do you need to hear the same SN songs over and over. Since 2001 she or FM have toured numerous times giving fans plenty of times to see them live. What makes this tour any different then the others? The pre 75 material is stuff that most of the fans who bought tickets don't know or care about and they have dropped some of those songs for that very reason. No matter how many tickets they sell it doesn't disguise that this is another GH tour with a set list mostly comprised of stuff they have done for years on previous tours. The difference is you are paying allot to watch fill in's play on songs recorded and or produced and arranged by other people. While I can still appreciate the music from the past the current band and what lead to this lineup doesn't sit right with me. If people want to go and support the band that is fine too. I haven't attacked or unfriended people on social media for supporting the band. I have only unfriended people who attacked Lindsey and or his family with vulgar and or nasty remarks.

Nicks Fan, look up the definition of a cult following. Many singers have them. So does Lindsey.

That’s not why I was excited. I Got You, Black Magic Woman, Tell Me All The Things You Do, Oh Well, Don’t Dream It’s Over, Hypnotized, Storms, Monday Morning, Free Fallin’, and All Over Again were the highlights.
