Who knows.

Eh?
Only similarities between Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks:
1. They have brown eyes.
2. They are short.
That's it.
I don't think Linda covered Fleetwood Mac material because she really didn't sing "girl songs." Her main schtick back in the day was to take men's rock and roll songs and reinterpreting them as a woman. Secondly, I don't think she covered FM for the same reason that virtually nobody else covers FM- that the personalities within FM are bigger than the songs themselves.
