As for who was the biggest commercial draw, you start to really wonder when you realize how poorly SYW did in the record stores. It had the weakest sales of all the albums with Buckingham and Nicks. What it lacked was Christine, and it seems the public wasn't too interested in buying FM music without Christine, Stevie's draw notwithstanding. Stevie's Enchanged and Sangri-La commercial success was limited to her core fan base, anyway. It's not as if she was selling at Bella Donna levels.

perception is a dangerous tool. Stevie has the largest fanbase, the largest sales record, the most hits of any of the members of FM so why is it such a sour pill to swallow to say she has the largest draw out of anyone in the band, not as a negative comment, just fact...simply because Stevie has reached more folks. logic seems simple enough to me.

as far as people not buying SYW because the "public wasn't too interested...without Christine" is bull. FM will never sell like Rumours and Stevie will never sell like Bella Donna. again, that logic seems simple enough to me.

I can't for the life of me understand why so many people hate SG. I love it. I wonder if some, not saying you specifically, just jump on that bandwagon cause everyone else has...a la WISYA.

Most recently, TISL sold somewhere around 700,000 copies - which is close to what SYW sold. Moreover, whose songs got radio time on The Dance? Finally, she toured rather successfully last Summer with no recoird to supprt - a feat neither LB nor CM could pull off to such crowds (and sadly so) - So, La Nicks clearly is the commercial draw. I think that pisses so many people off, which I will never get because facts are facts. It does not mean she is better per se than any other FM member. It just means she has an added talent of being coveted by people and she consistently works at that.

LB went on about how the time was bad at Warner's etc. The bottom line is no matter what he says, Warner's would have chomped at the bit had it thought it had a commercial success on its hands.

right you be.

Does it really piss you off that she is so popular?
