We should all be kissing Stevie's ass

[WildHearted]

I don't want her to stop touring, unless she wants to stop touring :/ I really hope she tours for IYD because I'm not seeing her on Heart&Soul - too expensive considering that I don't care to hear Rod Stewart in the slightest.

Wow, way to not get the point of the thread whatsoever

I am glad she put the kabosh on the Eagles tour even though it pissed Mick off I would like them all to concentrate on recording new music with a few shows here and there.

I get the point, had it not been for Stevie, we would have sat thru the Eagles and Mac tour and still had gotten nothing new. She has done some pretty shocking things in the past year and my hopes are high that she will make this decade an amazing one. But at the same time, Stevie could have made new material in 2004, 2005, 2006 instead of aimlessly touring. I think Crystal Visions was out of her hands, so I enjoy what she did with it, but she could have done something new and different in 2008 and she could have not done a greatest hits tour in 2009 with FM. The thing is, she didn't. She spent seven year stagnant and not doing anything, and now we should kiss her ass for stirring the waters finally? No. She should kiss our ass for still being here. If Stevie somehow continues with this momentum and releases all kinds of amazing things during this decade, then I will kiss her ass.

Wait, so we're supposed to forgive Stevie's 10 year recording absence because she sang ONE new song last year, and recorded an album we haven't even heard yet?

Let's look at it this way:

1) in the '90s she only recorded ONE album of new music

2) in the '00s she recorded ONE new solo album and ONE new Mac album

In the meantime she's saturated the market with her tours filled with ever worse renditions of the same tired, tired old songs. But we're supposed to be grateful for her output? I love Stevie as much as her most crazed fanboy... but honestly, she's stretched her credibility to the point where I'm not sure it can be reformed. She's only as good as her next album.

Well okay... in Stevie's defense... at least she did Say You Will, and I think she's done two solo tours as well as two Fleetwood Mac tours? So she has kept busy for a 50-60 year old rocker woman.

Everyone forgave Lindsey when he only released one solo album and two songs on 'The Dance,' in 15 years.

Well, lets look at this way. Between 1979 and 1989, she recorded 4 solo album, and 3 Mac albums and toured constantly. That's not including the Rumours either. She got addicted to cocaine in the process. It hurt her. the 90s were a bust, but at least she got her crap together. The 90s were albout grundge anyway. Now, the touring needs to stop. She just concentrate on making her last records. Those records are permanent. If you haven't seen Stevie in concert by now, tough.

Truth be told if Stevie had released an album during those years last decade and not really been creatively motivated we might have ended up with a rather mediorce album or two.For IYD I believe that she is the most creatively motivated that she has been in a very long time and I don't believe that this album is going to be mediorce.I would rather have one great , heartfelt and vital piece of work than 2 or 3 rote ones anyday.

first of all, its an 8 year recording absence, that ever worse renditions stuff is bull**** except for maybe one or two songs and the danm thread was about just me thinking back one year to what we were expecting Stevie's 2010 to be like and what she ended up doing and how its so much more awseome and for once wasn't the more profitable option. The thread title was just a joke you all took way seriously. It's about thinking abou the present. Your dwelling on the past 8 years is kind of annoying Louie.

And i'm still not over out of all the albums only 2 were solid efforts. By solid I mean I get pleasure from listening to it. So excuse me for being a little underwhelmed by ms. Nicks. Truth be told i have low low low expectations for IYD. I'm barely into the the idea of a new album After WH it's like a train wreck.

I am grateful that she is finally doing something new but I agree with others here that she has dithered away her career and diminished her fanbase over the past 10-15-20 years. To me an artist is someone who creates - and she has not done much of that over that time period.

I have to disagree there. TISL is easily just as good as Bella Donna or WH, and I'd argue that RAL was a pretty solid album too (albeit one that is far harder to appreciate)

I will concede that, bar maybe 3/4 songs between them, OSOTM and SA are pure garbage though. But, I think for those two albums, she was "going through the motions" rather than being really inspired.

I, for one, am just grateful that she's putting out a new album. If the songs are on-par with, or even better than, Secret Love, I'll be very happy indeed.

Let's just see if she surprises everyone and makes more than one album this decade If she does, then she might get a kiss on her hand, if not her ass.

The only disappointing album to me was Street Angel and even with that, I liked about half of it. so rock on gold dust woman, take your secret love and dig you're brave!
