These are just MY OPINIONS ..we all have a bias wether or not we choose to admit it...But this is what makes me a FAN and not some hard-nosed rock critic ....plus I don't get paid
Lindsey/PRODUCER- Wonderful voice, nice guitar licks, but let's face it-Lindsey's genius is when he took the "raw material" and made it golden.....ENOUGH said.
Stevie/PERFORMER- Be honest....she was "the face" of this band. Ticket sales were moved by her as well as units...not just because of her look, but because she really can't play guitar OR Piano(that well anyways)...it's the people's "rockstar". The WRITING and the image that she contributed was immense, BUT that doesn't mean she's Lindsey's puppet..she survived on her own. Her words as well as her performance take talent in my eyes....to put yourself OUT there the way she did...CHARISMA is a talent...not everyone can go out there, act like an "ass" (I know some people out there think it) and get AWAY with it.
Chris/PLAYER-Always dependable,always understated, ALWAYS solid. The "musician's musician" yet she can crank out plenty of hit pop ditties on the drop of a dime. (and she did because she had the most hit singles of the band)....However I tend to think that her skill was "craft". She's wonderful and all,but when you think of "the sound of Fleetwood Mac" you don't think Chris Mcvie...You didn't really see her personality inside of it...not as much heart as other writers. I'm not saying she's "Nsyncy" or anything, but she kinda is the "Soupcan"(as far as writing not popularity) of the group...no offense, I still love her.
