Still can't get over how almost nobody in the US knows Albatross - from what I could remember it was as huge as something like "Smoke on the water" all around Europe at its time, and it's still played on every summer terrace...
I think you might be right. Neither Stevie nor Lindsey would ever sell out big venues over here, and if anything, Lindsey might fare better. I agree about "Albatross" - it went Top 5 here twice in about three years, and it was the same in Germany, Scandinavia etc, and you still hear it all the time.

That's okay And yes, she is what Fleetwood Mac is known for. In the States.
