Even the die-hard Lindsey fans have to admit that Stevie is the most popular member with her solo career. Mind you I think Lindsey reclusive behavior has alot to do with that too. This isn't me bashing Lindsey....I think he is a genius...it is just an observation

I would write a list of the most talented, but I can't do it. Why? Because I haven't even heard any fm albums that don't include Lindsey Buckingham, and although I wouldn't mind taking a listen, I probably won't unless an copy of something lands in my lap. I tend to agree with CareVaca who conluded that Lindsey's lack of popularity as a solo artist compared to Stevie's had to do with name recognition. I don't know, but at the time, in my town, my age group, Out of the Cradle singles were more popular than Stevie's solos.
If it hadn't been for hearing some of Out of the Cradle on the radio and wanting to hear more of Lindsey, I wouldn't have ever picked up a FM album. I did NOT like Fleetwood Mac, as all I knew from them were their radio-popular singles "Everywhere" and "Little Lies", songs that I still don't like to this day. I also didn't like Stevie's voice from what I heard of her Bella Donna singles. I took the chance anyway, and went through fm albums one at a time. I liked them, and not just the Lindsey songs. I also ended up liking Stevie's voice. I found her fun to harmonize with. It wasn't her, though, that got me into Fleetwood Mac. It was Lindsey. It was the rest of Fleetwood Mac that made my stay last.
love to all,
