Age Range: 22 in years, 63 in Curmudgeonness

Gender: Female

When you became a fan: A few years ago

How you became a fan: Finding my Dad's Tango In The Night and Greatest Hits Albums

First 3 FM songs: Say You Love Me, Hold Me, Everywhere were the first three I really got into. But my all time favourites are Silver Springs (Duh!), Gypsy and Paper Doll.

First FM vocalist: Stevie Nicks was the first one I got into. But Lindsey all the way and a bit further than that.

Favorite FM Time Period: Damn....Anything with Lindsey involved I guess

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: 55% Lindsey, 30% Stevie, 15% Christine

Concerts you've attended: Only an Unleashed tour show. Too young to have experienced earlier shows.

FM stuff you own: Framed Posters (TiTN, The Dance) , Unleashed Poster, Tote Bag, Vinyl (Rumours, White Album, Greatest Hits, TiTN, Tusk, Mirage, PBoGO, English Rose, MoTW, Albatross), CDs (All of them), Say You Will Tour Program, Tapes, Collectible photography, Dog Tag, Mug, Hoodie, Five T-Shirts (Big Love, Second Hand News, Unleashed Tour, Gold Dust Woman, Rumours), DVDs (Live In Boston, Destiny Rules, Live In Boston, The Dance, Rumours, Mirage Tour, and a couple of unofficial ones), Books (Mick's Bio, Storms, The Bob Brunning one which I can't remember at this time), Vintage framed Blue Letter 12" from 1975

Stevie: Vinyl (Rock A Little, Wild Heart, Bella Donna, Buckingham Nicks), CDs (Wild Heart, Bella Donna, Street Angel, Trouble In Shangri La, Timespace, Soundstage Sessions, Crystal Visions), Soundstage DVD
Lindsey: Vinyl (Law And Order, Buckingham Nicks, Go Insane) CDs (Go Insane, Law And Order, Out Of The Cradle, Gift Of Screws, Under The Skin, Little Big Town), Framed Poster (UtS), DVDs (Soundstage, Bass Performance Hall), T-Shirt

Favorite thing about FM: Their ability to convey whatever emotion I could have with a perfect song.

Least favorite thing about FM: The fact that their "presence" is waning

Are you the same fan your where when you started: To be quite honest I've grown in my obsession. At first it was a casual love of the greatest hits. Now it's the kind of love that could get you arrested for being found in one of the member's gardens or something haha!

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: As in members? That's easy. The fantastic four and Christine.

You wish for the future of the Mac: I wish for them to release a new album soon that is even better than Say You Will and to simply increase their presence. Prove that they're not past their best yet.

Divide up your likeness for each vocalist (who you tend to listen to the most) by percentage

For me its Christine 45%, Stevie 45%, 10% everybody else

Probably not quite on topic but it is related to one of the questions. Has anybody ever come across a "Get Tusked" T-Shirt at a reasonable price? I would sell my first born or sign a contract in blood to name him Justin Bieber if I could get my hands on one.

Please note...It will be a cold day in hell before Bee has a child. She'd rather Cats.

Thumbs up My turn

Age Range: 20 something

Gender: male

When you became a fan: this might be a surprise, Nov 2009

How you became a fan: I had always liked 70's/80's music. So when I got the internet about 2 yrs ago, I started growing my music collection. Went on amazon searching mp3's in the classic rock genre, found "Dreams". A month or two later heard "Gypsy" on the 80's music choice channel and said to myself, "I'm gonna have to look into this band that I've basically ignored all my life(I knew them as the band that did that "Don't Stop" song.) Got the '88 Greatest hits CD and my love hasn't ended.

First 3 FM songs: Dreams, Gypsy, and Don't Stop

First FM vocalist: Stevie Nicks

Favorite FM Time Period: tough choice gotta go with Mirage/Tango time period

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: 45% Stevie, 45% Christine, 10% everybody else. Stevie and Christine are constantly fighting for my affection

Concerts you've attended: none

FM stuff you own: 25 years the Chain, The Dance DVD, 2002 VBO, a lot songs from amazon, Bare Tree's CD. That's really it! Guess I need some posters and such...

Favorite thing about FM: vocals from more that one singer all in one group w/vocals from the whole group. Somebody once asked me who's the Lead singer...I said "There is no lead singer!"

Least favorite thing about FM: the fact that the soap opera drama of the band gets in the way of enjoying the music

Are you the same fan your were when you started: I'm more knowledgeable(thanks to the Ledge), and less naive about the Mac world

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Mick, John, Danny, Stevie, and Christine.

You wish for the future of the Mac: a new album with new member(s)
