Favorite FM member, past or present

[jwd]

Who is your favorite FM member, past or present? For ****s and giggles. You can elaborate too if you feel the need to vent, or just express yourself!

[SteveMacD]

LOL, I did this poll on here YEARS ago.

John McVie won.

[jwd]

LOL, I did this poll on here YEARS ago.

John McVie won.

But, but, but, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW STEVE! John just plays his bass guitar and doesn't get caught up in the drama. Is he too complacent though?

[SteveMacD]

No more than anytime before. Hell, I think that’s why he won.

Admittedly, it was done in rounds, and I was sometimes surprised at who got voted off. But, John ended up the winner.

John, the silent one. You can't disagree with that!

Oh, kind of like our old survivor games.

We'll see. I'm curious to where old allegiances have been swayed in the current state of affairs.

[Angel75]

A great poll idea!

Was always a huge BN/FM fan, enjoying both Stevie and Lindsey's work equally.
After her atrocious behaviour, LB has to be the favourite and winner now.
You don't treat someone who loved and supported you through life AND turned your poems into the masterpiece songs they are AND brought you with him into the band that made you a rock star.... And think that that is ok to fire him from his band. Sorry Stevie.

[Angel75]

Is no one voting for Mick Fleetwood.....how strange?!

Stevie has always been kind of a parasite ...latching onto producers and collaborators that serve her purpose and then discarding them when they no longer do.

[secondhandchain]

Of course Stevie will win the poll...blah blah blah. Isn't that the whole purpose of it?

[HomerMcvie]

For my ENTIRE f*cking life, Christine would have been my vote. That backstabbing company shill is sitting in the back seat now.

Lindsey all the way!

[AncientQueen]

I can't seem to get over my love for Christine McVie, with Bob Welch being a close second.
..sigh... I was a Stevie Nicks fan for nearly 40 years and now she is one of my least favorite persons not only in this band, but also in the world. Girlfriend really really blew it.

[chriskisn]

Dave "The Voice" Walker.

The rest don't come close...

You speak for me exactly. We must have been separated at birth :eek:

[lovethemac1]

4 months ago, I wouldn't have been able to vote......purely because of my love for all 5 current, and any former member. I just loved anything FM.

Now, unfortunately, it's easy to vote........Lindsey all the way. I can't stand Mick and Stevie (man, did she blow it big-time:mad:) and my disappointment with the McVie's is heartbreaking.

[FuzzyPlum]

I have to vote for Christine despite the current situation. Not happy with her but I'm sure my feelings will soften.

[wondergirl9847]

Lindsey has always been first for me...still is. Danny Kirwan is my second fave now.

I love Stevie's music, but as a person, I cannot stand her. She frustrates and saddens me. :(

[pattyfan]

Obviously it's Neil Finn. He has such a deep history with the band and has written some of their biggest hits. But it's the deep cuts that you don't hear much on the radio, coupled with his stellar live shoes, that seal his place in the pantheon of Fleetwood Mac's historical legacy.

Exactly how I feel. Stevie's music, in particular within the context of Fleetwood Mac, is something I enjoy. Stevie as a person has become a bitter and miserable old woman who seemingly struggles to find happiness in her life and projects her miserableness on anyone around her who doesn't kiss her rear end. I can still jam out to live Rhiannon from the Tusk Deluxe album or respect that Silver Springs from The Dance is legendary.

Obviously it's Neil Finn. He has such a deep history with the band and has written some of their biggest hits. But it's the deep cuts that you don't hear much on the radio, copied with his stellar live shoes, that seal his place in the pantheon of Fleetwood Mac's historical legacy.

Based on his Sirius XM ramblings, he's definitely a key member of the band. I've never heard someone ramble on so much about nothing. I know they're trying to sell him as part of the band but it's pretty heavy-handed nonsense :)

Billy followed closely by Lindsey.

[jwd]

Of course Stevie will win the poll...blah blah blah. Isn't that the whole purpose of it?

No, it's not AT ALL the purpose of it. I didn't start the thread to see who would win the "popularity contest'". And who's to say that Stevie will win, if it even matters.

As I've indicated I wanted to get a feel of how the FM fan community is reacting to Lindsey no longer being in FM, the circumstances surrounding that, and how it was handled. And more so, how it has affected feelings towards the band members and their musical contributions.

Does one forego an artist's principle or character and simply appreciate and continue enjoying his or her music no matter what their behavior is?

Based on replies so far, I'm seeing a mixed reaction. Some will always love the music of the band and its' individual members, no matter what transpires in the politics of the band. Others, life long fans of certain members, have sworn them off for unforgivable actions. It's an interesting dynamic that's going on.

As for myself, I'm not even sure I have a favorite member. But I AM sure that I'm not going to burn everything FM related that I've come to love over the years.

[jwd]

Okay, so I just voted for Lindsey! :laugh: Excellent guitarist, singer songwriter who tried to take the Rumours 5 in the creative direction that most of us wanted them to take. So yeah, Lindsey gets my vote! :]

[aleuzzi]

LOL, I did this poll on here YEARS ago.

John McVie won.

OMG--so funny. And so fitting.

If this poll was taken a week after Christine slapped Lindsey and threw a drink in his face, she'd have won.

Poor Jeremy, though. He rarely gets any love.

[TrueFaith77]

I agree, though his Kiln House stuff is so pleasing!

[jwd]

gldstwmn voted twice, for Stevie! That's some Stevie trickery if I've ever seen it.....

[SteveMacD]

OMG--so funny. And so fitting.

IIRC, I was only allowed to break tie votes by rules I set up, and Stevie and John were tied in the top three…

[jwd]

No love for Mick!? Is he the least loved member of the band? Oh, and currently looks like Lindsey has the most support from The Ledge community.

[BombaySapphire3]

No love for Mick!? Is he the least loved member of the band?.

Is that a rhertorical question?

Maybe. :laugh: I just love to stoke the coals a little bit. There's probably one Mick lover that is just not willing to be flamed if he or she votes for him.

WHAT'S to love? Nice enough guy, but greedy beyond belief, and an absolute IDIOT with his finances. You have to earn respect. I'm not certain that he has the tools. Loveable idiot.

Hey, at least one person on these boards found some love in their heart for dear old Mick. :shrug: I kinda of like that term of yours, "Loveable Idiot". It has an endearing ring to it.

Now if somebody could find some favorite love in their heart for Jeremy, the circle will be complete. It's ironically sad that he didn't score one vote, especially since he's probably the only past or present FM member that actually scrolls through these boards.

Jeremy... Didn't some child sex thing or something arise a few years ago? He was here answering questions for us, then I read the allegations here, and he disappeared.

For the record, I DON'T remember exactly what they were.

[BlanketMan]

I'm proud to have added to Lindsey's current five-vote lead over The Witch! :)

But I honestly believe he is the most talented person to have ever been part of FM. And he knows it!

Bob Welch was pretty active on here prior to his death. Which brings me to my vote- Stevie has always been the most fascinating member to me. Increasingly over the past few years I’ve come to really detest her personally, though. I think after her mother died, her last grounding force (aka pre fame family/friend/etc) was gone... and the bad aspects of her personality have overtaken the good. That’s why I chose Bob Welch as my fav. His musical style, lyrics, and life story are every bit as bewitching as Stevie’s was for me. He had the whole mystical thing going on, he was such an underdog figure, and what a tragic yet charmed life he led. He was really the bridge that linked FM to success... transforming the band from a British blues standards band to a sophisticated global pop/rock force. Without him, who knows what would have become of FM.

[BombaySapphire3]

I voted for Lindsey..for years and years it would have been Stevie but like others have astutely pointed out her worst traits have become her dominant ones. I can't believe that the "Green God"only has one vote. For a brief and shining hour he was brilliant.

Yeah, I vaguely remember that as well now that you mention it. Here's a link to sum up what happened around that time and the allegations of sex abuse.

I agree. Especially for the length of time he spent in the band, crafting some of the band's most formidable and memorable recordings. That's why he got my vote.

Yeah, I think you're right. And if I'm not mistaken he participated in a rather lengthy Q&A here on The Ledge. I know his wife Wendy became very vocal around the time of the RRHOF snub or perhaps it was after Bob died, and she thought it was time for her to speak up about how she felt he had been treated unfairly by the band. I believe she was particularly spiteful towards Christine.

You mention Bob's mystical thing going on along with Stevie's. Most definitely his songs and music were reflective of that. "Bermuda Triangle" comes to mind. But then again I think the mystical aspect is a common thread that has always been part of every incarnation of FM. Peter Green's "Green Manalishi", Danny Kirwan's "Dust" and others also have that otherworldly vibe to them. It's that common theme of FM that I do find captivating and very interesting. Stevie probably tapped into that when she listened to the back catalogue of the band and felt like she and Lindsey could fit in and contribute something to FM.

[BombaySapphire3]

One music critic pointed out years ago that the mystical aspect had always been in Fleetwood Mac if only just under the surface but when Stevie arrived she burst through the door with it full tilt. I am still glad that I was old enough to experience that era in real time .It was magical.

[jwd]

To think of the path that FM could have possibly taken if Green didn't freak out and he stayed with the band. For every tragedy, there was always something, someone else to experience. It's been a pretty amazing story.

The thing that bothers me the most about her is that she acts like a legend rather than just being a legend. Just put in the work and the rest happens. Instead of talking about who the boss is, and who makes her happy... excuse after excuse...

I remember when she approached music and creating with writing as many things as she could and finding the right person to mold her material. Some amazing product came from that. Bella Donna, Wild Heart... various amazing Mac songs.

Now, she's just a celebrity that feels entitled. There's no humility, it's all fake. The relationship she had with LB for several years was fake. And now that she can no longer FAKE it with LB, she lost 25-30% of her fans. And, she comes off like a moron when she speaks, imo.

I agree with every single word. And as impossible as it is to believe, I used to love her. But she's become completely insufferable. So full of herself.

[sodascouts]

I don't hate Stevie, but I am terribly disappointed in her. She is not the woman I thought she was. I knew she was flawed, I knew she could be a diva, I knew she was not always forthright about her relationship with Lindsey, but it never even freaking occurred to me that she would be the kind of person who would do something like this. Not my Stevie.

It freaking breaks my heart. I spent over 20 years adoring her. I can still love her in a different way, and love her incredible music that will always mean so much to me... but I can't adore her anymore.

I still cling to the hope grief messed with her mind. If she can snap back to the way she used to be and change her mind about Lindsey, I can change my mind again about her.

[Dr.Brown]

Stevie drew me into becoming a Fleetwood Mac fan back in the 80's and now she's led me back out. I even stuck with the other Post-Rumours lineups in the late 80's-early 90's but couldn't care less about this latest Post-Rumours lineup. I'm so disgusted about how things have turned out and will not waste any money on concerts or any music they might release. :distress:

All of this. She comes off as absolutely horrible. And she does act like she is a legend. Sorry but you’re not Mick Jagger. You think Mick Jagger ever tells anyone that he’s the boss in The Rolling Stones (or rather in his solo career vs the band)? Keith would blast him with a telecaster. She has become so miserable and bitter over the last several years. Her comments and behavior over the last 10-15 years have helped diminish much of my fandom for her and the band in general.

[jwd]

100 Ledgies have voted so far! If one can draw any conclusion from this poll, it is that there is less love for Stevie and more for Lindsey. I'd say it has mostly to do with Lindsey's firing and Stevie being most suspect in its' happening.

[SteveMacD]

As much as I’ve not been a Stevie fan and thought she should have been fired last year, she’s certainly title hinting song titles I’ve been dreaming of hearing live for 30+ years, and even played one on her last tour. Like, she’s the most adamant about it. I’m giving her points for that. It’s been a point of contention with me post-SYW. If you’re not doing anything new, then do something REALLY old. And, I give her credit for being the one to take that particular risk.

Ideally, THIS tour would have been a mix of the hits/standards, NEW songs, and really old songs, but they couldn’t reach that compromise, which is sad all around.

[David]

I voted for Stevie Nicks. But oddly enough, she's my least favorite member nowadays. My ears tell me she doesn't have it anymore.

[richardmac]

I'm torn between Lindsey and Stevie. Stevie was my favourite up to and including Tusk, but she was definitely more interested in her solo career after that and her contributions to the next 2 albums (apart from Gypsy) was well below her previous standard. Lindsey has been more consistent over the years with his Mac input, and when I saw them in 2015 Lindsey worked the hardest on stage, so these days I would probably say Lindsey is the best of the Rumours line-up. I still find it astounding (if it's true,and it must be if Lindsey has said so) that he was fired. Why would anyone fire their strongest link? In the end I've voted for Lindsey.

[singertobe]

I believe they are all equally important in creating the unique Mac sound and the band is not the same without any one of them. Which is why I'm so pissed about them firing Lindsey.

[FuzzyPlum]

I see Mick has voted for himself.
Mate, that's pretty shameless but exactly the sort of thing you do :thumbsup:

It's a damn shame Stevie couldn't find it in her heart or have the patience and discipline to record with Lindsey again. I mean, after all they had been through already. Let's give it one more try Stevie, for the sake of FM, and most of us wanting them to go out on that note as the Rumours Five, not Finwood Mike. :distress:

Or maybe he saw the backlash the "tour" story was getting and decided to change it to make them look less shallow and mercenary - that they fired the man who had been architect of their sound for decades just because he was delaying a profitable tour.

Much better to make it about how they wanted to be more creative than about how they wanted the money to roll in sooner than he did.

It's so unfair to Lindsey though - to paint him as the one holding them back creatively when he was the one begging them to record and it was Stevie who refused!!! Maybe they are punishing him for the "lost perspective" comment in addition to attempting to improve their image.

If the band does record new music now, it would be so obvious to me why Stevie did not record with them while Lindsey was in the band. All her talk about music not selling would be total BS! And the band choosing Stevie over Lindsey because of her unwillingness to work with him would be apparent. And why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[SteveMacD]

Yeah. A lot of people talk about how Buckingham McVie was basically a Fleetwood Mac album. I don't agree. Both Stevie AND Lindsey are essential for my version of Fleetwood Mac.

Be that as it may, the Fleetwood-McVie-McVie rhythm section has been the driving force for twelve of the band’s albums, with Christine doing session work on another five albums.

Who is your favorite FM member, past or present? For ****s and giggles. You can elaborate too if you feel the need to vent, or just express yourself!

looks like you didn't set up this poll as a single option choice, even though that's what you are asking. some people are cheating and checking off multiple members.

[Miss Vicky]

Lindsey Buckingham.

I started listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was a teenager (in the 1990s) because of Stevie Nicks. Then The Dance happened and I saw him. I immediately loved him way more than her and these days he's the only member of that line-up that I still love. The rest of them are pretty much dead to me at this point, what with recent events, though I hold no ill-will towards either of Lindsey's replacements.

[annabellee]

The results are questionable as Mike and Neil are not included...

right, Sugar would vote for Neil instead of Mick in that case. :shrug::p

Yeah, seemingly so in Lindsey's favor. Imagine that. Disgust among fans concerning his dismissal and the details surrounding it, coupled with the Ellen performance by the "New Mac", only solidified his ranking.

[jwd]

looks like you didn't set up this poll as a single option choice, even though that's what you are asking. some people are cheating and checking off multiple members.

I was asking people to express their opinions. Favorite doesn't necessarily mean 1. Looks like there were several people that felt there were multiple members of the band or a certain lineup of the band that were their favorites. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm glad I didn't pigeon hole people to respond a certain way. I think we got the general idea from this non-scientific poll. :laugh: Cheating would be voting for the same member more than once, and I only saw one instance of that.

I didn't think so, nor should you be able to. But it's there as plain as day one time. I know you can't have the same screen name as someone else, so...... probably a question best left for the mods to answer.

wow i just looked and i see it! i clicked on that person, and it is the exact same person twice. so weird - looks like it would have to be a glitch. then again, looking at who it is and that person used to be a mod in the past, maybe they know some ways around that we don't.

Yeah, that would be my first guess too. I called it out when I first saw it quite a while ago, but I chalked it up to Stevie trickery. :D

Took me ages to work out what you were both talking about. Now I see.
Technically -1 then.

Who'd have thought it 20 years ago?

On another note it shows up just how much the fans of the blues years of Fleetwood Mac have retreated from this board. Obviously this is a poll on the Rumours section but nevertheless PG only receiving 2 votes isn't really representative of his standing or popularity. Ditto Danny with 4.

yes.it shows that all those fans yelling "but Peter is really FM" on this board do not really care. same with people who yell "Mick and John!".

that said, if i realized you could vote for several, my vote would have gone to Peter in addition to LB.

How did some people vote for 8?

Mine says that I voted already and cannot vote again.

Can't remember my vote... perhaps it's possible to multiple click before submitting.

You have to vote for all your choices at one time. Once you cast a vote(s) you can't vote again.

I don't think they were ever here. Much like diehard fans of the Rumours 5 would seldom, if ever, go into the Nixwood Mac forum. :D

Okay, I think that's the most disgusting post I've EVER read on The Ledge. I'm waiting for Nathan to come in and admonish you.

Christine has been my favorite the past year, but it changes between her and Stevie quite a bit. Seems Lindsey has always came in third for me, I appreciate his artistry and his immense contribution but out of the three he has the worst tracks overall. I only enjoy a handful of his songs, I prefer Chris and Stevie's lyrics.

The user you're talking about is a child, and I have kept him on ignore for some time, along with those who egg him on.

He is a also a troll, and his posts are usually a lot less funny than they are crude.

Enjoy.

Thank you! I just got finished playing an early gig with my band, and I'm polishing off a couple PBRs at my neighborhood pub, before heading home.

CHEERS to you! :xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

Musically, Stevie will always be my favorite. Personality-wise, Lindsey and Christine. Honorary mention to Bob Welch who was a cool guy, R.I.P.

Anyone else want to vote on this poll? Or maybe you've changed your mind? I guess you could even vote for Neil or Mike. Are they members now? It's close to election day so this is good a time as any to cast your votes. VOTE!
