I'm enjoying the responses. FM always gives fans plenty to talk about.
I actually was a Stevie Nicks fan first. Bella Donna was the first album I ever bought. I was about 14, and I thought she was the coolest singer out there -- and, well, I was a 14-year-old boy! When Mirage came out, I thought Lindsey's songs were weird, and as I got into the older FM, at first Tusk threw me, but it eventually became my favorite FM album. What started to turn me into more of a Lindsey fan was Go Insane. For that mid 80s time period, it was such a cool album. Of course it hasn't aged well, but at the time, it was brilliant and different from everything else Lindsey and FM had done before.
I confess I am not overly interested in a FM album, though if Stevie and Lindsey were able to work together, put aside their differences in a cooperative spirit to collaborate on songs, I would love that. Otherwise, I think they are better off doing solo work. Lindsey's Seeds You Sow was fantastic, and I think it has been growing on me over time more and more. And IYD was the first thing Stevie did in decades that really worked for me. I'd love to see more music from her like that.
