I've followed this band for a long time, and it gets a little tiring to keep seeing the perpetuation of the Myth of Stevie Nicks. She was great early on, but now she is anything but.

We haven't been here in a while, but as far as Stevie's musical abilities...all you have to do is listen to her demos to hear her greatness. She CAN play piano and guitar. Sure, she isn't playing on stage or whatever, but she writes her songs and the basic melody and rhytm. Listen to the demo for "Sisters of the Moon", for example, and you hear Stevie playing the parts on piano that Lindsey later recreates with his guitar. She's got it all there, down to his solo! :-)
So, she doesn't like playing in front of people on a stage. That doesn't mean she isn't good at piano or guitar.
As for the question: musically- Lindsey and John; lyrically- Stevie.
Love,
Jo and Jensen
