We? You mean YOU. I don't want or need another Stevie Nicks solo album at this point.

I could care less about sales..."IYD"

No, you can't talk about Stevie's popularity and talk about how the others are riding her coattails when her album tanked. As a solo artist, she plays mid-size venues or accompanies other artists. Fleetwood Mac practically sells out arenas. That's not ALL Stevie. If it were ALL Stevie, then Stevie would be able to do that on her own, and she cannot.

Yep a new FM record is the ONLY chance LB,CM,MF & JM have of being noticed In terms of new material...

Really? I seem to recall Mick being nominated for a Grammy a few years back for basically a live album of Peter Green songs with Rick Vito.

Apparently somebody noticed.

Again not talking about sales...IYD is one of the best things Stevie has ever done...Maybe I shouldn't use the word sucess

But low sales do not equate to success.

Sorry it just seems like she want's in while the getting is good...

Even if that were the case (it's not), she would have every right considering she helped the band move on from Peter Green and was a loyal team player during all of the hard times.

Personally I think Stevie would rather do something that would get her the respect as a solo artist that she hasn't received yet like a solo Grammy or be voted into the RRHOF as a solo artist...

The best thing that could happen to Stevie's solo career is for Christine McVie to come back. Stevie wasn't opening for Rod Stewart when Christine McVie was a member of Fleetwood Mac.

Exactly! Like I keep saying "I don't care about sales"

Yet you keep implying that everybody's riding Stevie's coattails because she is the most popular member of the band. I maintain that's rubbish. Sure, she's the most popular, I won't dispute that. But Stevie the solo artist opens for Rod Stewart and has weak album sales, whereas Stevie the member of Fleetwood Mac sells out arenas.

But rather successful from an artistic or "critically acclaimed" point of view...

If she's on an artistic high right now, wouldn't she want more people to notice? The easiest way for that to happen is with Fleetwood Mac. Christine possibly coming back has already generated a lot of buzz. A new album with Christine will generate a TON of publicity, especially if it's a great record. After that, people would be interested in another Stevie Nicks album.
