A stagnation milestone has been passed
 

It was 2,535 days between the release of Street Angel and the release of Trouble in Shangri-La.

As of today, it has been 2,633 days since the release of Trouble in Shangri-La.

Since Street Angel had come out before I became a Stevie fan, its release seemed like a very, very long time ago in my mind. TISL was Stevie's first studio album in 8 years!!

It is really, really crazy for me to think that we're just about at that same length of time.

*Sings* It seems like 2,633 days since you've been gone! Well it seems like two thousand dayzzzz! :sorry:

To be fair she did appear on a new Fleetwood Mac album with almost an entire new solo album's worth of "new " songs between TISL and now ..however during the 8 years between SA and TISL she never let it be forgotten that she was working on a new solo album ..now her attitude is most often "why bother" which is really the disheartening part along with the big gap in time.

Eh, if people choose to complain, so be it...it's a complete waste of time and energy. I'm looking forward to the new Soundstage CD and DVD and the new Mac album in 2009. There are many exciting things that lie ahead in the next year for every member of Fleetwood Mac.

yet another compilation with a few new tracks does not a new album qualify.

That information is absolutely 100% not confirmed by FM. If Stevie says we're getting a new album, we're getting a new album. Although if it is true, it will have enough new tracks on it to satisfy the time gap. If they're going to drag this out for 2 years, it will have plenty of good stuff on it. Plus TVBOFM had no newly recorded tracks on it...the newest stuff was from The Dance tour.

Actually, her last Gh package contained R&R, which was her latest solo recording. She also recorded The One with Vanessa Carlton. On the Soundstage, I believe she is releasing The One, Circle Dance, Crash, and R&R.

So, though there is a paucity of it, we have gotten some covers and a duet :shrug:

I want more :mad:

If Fleetwood Mac can record an entire NEW album between now and their embarking on a 2009 tour I will stand in Union Square and eat my hat for any of the Bay area ledgies left on here to witness.

Well I was actually thinking about this the other day oddly. The who stagnation thing aqnd if this has been the longest we've gone without new material and I agree that the stagnation period must start at April 16th 2003 on. Inbetween SA and TISL we got Sweet Girl thats it. And tourwise The Dance was a very short tour as was Enchanted. Since TISL we got 10 new Stevie songs from SYW, which is equal to a Bella Donna or Wild Heart. Then the freaking SYW tour was the longest tour in Fleetwood Mac history (Tusk tour condensed their dates into under a year, SYW went to mid September 2004)

OK since then we can say she's been stagnant to a point. But really after 1998, Stevie did absolutely **** for the next 3 years aside from those millenium shows. Since 2005 she did that rather unnecasary Gold Dust Tour although that show at Blossom Music Center that year was the best Stevie concert I've been too and I got to touch her for the Edge so from a selfish standpoint I can't consider her stagnant for that year. 2006, she toured with Petty, which is somethign she did for herself and I guess we can all say we got some great moments there (Insdier, I Need To Know DCAHNM dancing, best SDMHA ever) then Crystal Visions was pretty pointless, CD wise, but the DVD was almost better then a new album for me, with those voice overs she gave plus the Bella Donna footage. So no it was a new album in the classic sense, but **** we all enjoyed it as much,. Then came the following tour, which you can pretty much say was the recording sessions for her upcoming first ever live album via Soundstage, which is GDW is any indication will be an INCREDIBLE concert and DVD and CD.

Now this year's East Coast 15 date random is kind of pointless, but danm has she been giving some good performances, and who hasn't loved Face the Promise, which I will say for the fourth time is like a new song written by another artist no different then Tallk To Me was.

So in conclusion, We must start the count from April 16th 2003 which puts us at like 1,555 days and i'm more or less estimating, correct me if im wrong. And even then I think it has to be some sort of weighted 1,555 days :laugh: so i'm gonna subtract a years worth of days from that and I come up with 1190 days of stagnation

So in my reworking she has about until Summer 2011 to not have a new longest stagnation period. Disagree if you must, but this is science :laugh:

Wow...you really summed up everything great! I highlighted my favorite parts!

Stevie also once said we'd be getting a Rhiannon movie with her in the starring role.I believe that was 1978 only 30 years ago.

Ok...good point! :laugh: But in their interviews thoughout 2008, neither Stevie or Lindsey have mentioned anything about a compilation album, not once. Both of them have talked about recording new material for a new album. But if it does turn out to be a compilation album, i think it will be half old stuff and half new stuff, or half newly recorded old stuff and new stuff. I'm excited for whatever album they decide to do because either way we are getting new music.

She said she was going to star in it? Is my memory that bad? I know she was writing it though.

Didn't she stop the production because she thought the Hollywood people creeped her out?

Ok i'm glad you qualified it some more ..given what we know about any Buckingham Nicks era album from Rumours on there is no way in hell an entire album of new material could be completed in anything less than two years perhaps even longer now given the contention between those two over production.
