soul Drifter- even in the heyday years, which she got a wide pass on her weaknesses, despite some of the brutally honest reviews, she would say stuff in interviews that I even went "huh?" for instance, after Tusk was released she lamented that she would have huge disappointment in "everyone" if the album didn't sell. Oh $tevie!!!

The core trio--Fleetwood and the McVies--belong together naturally. A once-married stolid duo and their crazy-eyed buddy. Together, they have created a sturdy, dependable musical bed for their axe men. Stevie is just as out-of-place among the core trio as Buckingham. And I would argue more so. Listen to how comfortable and logical he sounds with Fleetwood and the McVies on Buckingham /McVie. The relationship he has with the rhythm section, and the fruitful creative partnership he has with Christine are very real and believable. By contrast, all of Stevie's songs from 1975 onward, perhaps with the exception of "Dreams" and "Gypsy," no matter how good the material and the performances, sound inserted. Granted, I love her contributions, but they are weirder alongside Christine and Lindsey's material than either of theirs with each other. |

It's really weird that $tevie made it to the top like $he did, because I firmly believe that $he's an idiot. But $he had the charisma, and that in itself, took root and ran it's very successful course. Good for her. I will put a $5 bill in the mail to you right now, if you never use the term "axe man" again. I hate it when reporters describe guitar players as AXE MEN. Gimme your addy, and that $5 is on it's way! The ultimate FM for ~we real FLEETWOOD MAC fans~ would have been just Lindsey and Christine in 1975. They wouldn't have skyrocketed, but it would have been a great, solid band.

I can’t imagine Fleetwood Mac without any of the 5 people who performed on FM or Rumours. I don’t believe those albums would have been hits without all of them, but specifically the trio of McVie, Buckingham, and Nicks. If even one of those 3 had been missing, those albums wouldn’t have been successful. I don’t normally believe in serendipity, but in FM’s case, I believe their success was contingent upon all 3 of those singer/songwriters. FM before Buckingham/Nicks joined was getting by, and Buckingham/Nicks had just been dropped by their label. Together, in that moment and time, they created music that will be remembered forever. But without even one of them, the dynamic changes too much. That’s not to say they can’t make good music as a duo (Say You Will and Buck/Vie), just that they aren’t as incredible as the albums where all 3 appear.

If Fleetwood Mac had added Lindsey as their axe man on his own back in 1975 they would have been a good band. Not as successful as we know them now, but he would have surely lifted them above what Bob could ever have offered. No disrespect to Bob, but he was limited (his limit was great). But Lindsey wielding that axe in his place (sans Stevie) would always have been a notch or two up on what they had before.

It‘s really as simple as out of sight, out of mind. By not cultivating a solo career, regardless of its commercial appeal, by going eleven years without touring, and having an eleven year gap between studio albums, Lindsey let his career become completely dependent on Stevie and Fleetwood Mac. Dave Mason, for example, never had a Top 20 album or a Top 10 hit, but he kept touring and was still a major touring act in the 1970s. Quote:

Also from 2005-2007, there were Ticketmaster events that were named "Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac" It's not a contest. Stevie's bigger and internationally known, but not internationally known like Madonna, Tina, or Dolly. Last edited by UnwindedDreams; 01-10-2021 at 02:46 PM.. Reason: spelling |

But $he had to sleep with everyone musical that $he's ever met, so I guess that wasn't possible. If $he hates compromise so much, $he should have left FM and never returned.
