Stevie has also had another renaissance & interest from the younger twenty-something generation -- Stevie is clearly an icon with a long romanticized & storied rock n roll mythology that captivates peoples imagination. Christine clearly wrote some great songs, but theres not nearly as much interest in her as a person, and that makes a big difference and impression. Stevie's has also seen her UK profile rise higher in the last 7 or 8 years as well, with bands like Bats For Lashes, Florence & The Machine, Ellie Goulding, etc., citing Stevie with reverence and as a big inspiration.

no, really??
you know what i've noticed, that with the recent blitz of Everywhere, people didn't even know that is FM song - just a song that was a hit in the 80s. so it's possible people don't even get what all songs are FM, same as many people here describe their process before they became a fan, and didn't realize that all those diverse songs are by the same band. in addition to other stuff listed, i have a feeling that a month or so of Dave Grohl featuring SN prominently in Sound City Players and the movie did much more for raising SN's visibility with new audiences than all IYD promotion together. great move on her part! so that's what i refer to with the short memory span which is true in music, politics, whatever. SN has been hugely in the spotlight in the last couple of months, also prominently featured in several recent RS magazine articles... so it makes sense to see results like this in that whole context. they do these kind of polls every now and then and results always seem to be completely different from one time to another.

btw I did not bother to cast any vote in this RS readers poll. I'm not surprised that Stevie would dominate this list, It's Stevie's FM songs that still dominate the playlists of classic rock stations I happen upon. "Rhiannon", GDW, "Landslide", "Dreams"", The Chain", "Oh Well" & GYOW are still satples played on adult rock alternative or classic rock stations here in Denver. While "Gypsy" & "Say You Love Me" seem to be mostly played on adult comtemporary stations. I haven't heard "Hold Me", "Little Lies", "Everywhere", "Big Love" or "Sara" for that matter on radio in recent memory at all. |

I don't know if what I hear in public (like at the salon) are classic rock stations or soft pop, but I know I don't hear Stevie's songs more than I hear Christine's on the radio. Of the 3, I would probably hear Christine songs more than the other 2.

If this had been the UK, you'd have seen Everywhere and maybe Little Lies in that list as both were big hits here. Sara, although one of my favourites, wasn't a hit and wouldn't have got close, nor would Gold Dust Woman. I'm a bit surprised You Make Loving Fun doesn't get mentioned more when it comes to Chris as I think many fans prefer it to Don't Stop. Nice to see Oh Well there though |

Agreed. I questioned the voters' tastes when I saw that and the fact that they picked the live version of Oh Well over PG's masterly original.

From NME's Best Songs of the Eighties List
http://www.nme.com/list/100-best-son...me-boredbutton Released: February 1988 Everywhere #92 Penned by Christine McVie about new husband Eddie Quintela, it was McVie doing what she did best; a simple song about the joys of new love. Lindsey Buckingham’s typically progressive production covered the song in a glossy 80s sheen, and would lead to another massive hit for the band from their monolithic ‘Tango In The Night’ album. |

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I'm so curious about how casual fans and non-fans perceive Fleetwood Mac. These two clearly each have very limited knowledge of Fleetwood Mac's music (she obviously owns Tusk and a few other downloaded singles. He owns Rumours and a couple of compilations). Kudos to her for including a few of Lindsey's leftfield Tusk songs as choices in her top 10. Even more kudos to her for putting Over and Over at number 2. I'm happy for her as she's got so much more to discover in the coming years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB0HrlVrf5o ...and they didn't put anything from Time in their top 10? wtf??????
