Mick Fleetwood wants the LB/SN rift to heal

Personally, I hope they never take stage again, in any form, other than solo. I would feel like it was a nostalgia or money/attention grab.

Remember in that recent interview where Stevie suggested Lindsey had poor health, she said her focus is her new album and also putting FM songs in her solo concerts (specifically The Chain). She hasn't added FM songs to her set, only removed Sara from this current tour's setlist. I think she wants to get one more album out considering her last one did not sell for a name like hers.

Stevie's hit every major market since May 2022 and she didn't do double or multiple nights at The Garden or The ACC like FM does. I wonder how much more touring arenas she can do at the prices she's charging.

Friend of mine that follows her religiously says her shows are so boring and the same. And, that she says it looks as if she doesn't even enjoy being up there.

So, you never know. They need their drama.

I think that's precisely why she WON'T do another album.

It's actually kind of AMAZING that she's as popular as she is. When was her last hit? Talk To Me? 1985. 39 YEARS AGO?

[BigAl84]

Yeah she seems to get real bitter when her projects don't sell at the Taylor Swift levels that she seems to expect (because she's a legend!)

She's prioritized touring over studio work for a reason. According to her, she didn't even write during the pandemic. I doubt there is an appetite for an album when she can get cheap adulation going on the road.

“Rooms on Fire” which was still 35 years ago.

I think she’s like a modern day Frank Sinatra. The name is bigger than the actual performance and there’s no need or incentive to release new music. People go “because it’s Stevie Nicks!”

Not necessarily a hit (and I know you meant solo hits), and don't remember the charts, but I think Silver Springs or Landslide got more attention in the media than her later singles.

Fleetwood Mac will always be greater than the sum of its parts. Mmm... except for Bella Donna?

The Heartbreakers are equally as good as Fleetwood Mac

And even at that, she doesn’t even perform Talk to Me or Rooms on Fire live anymore. Her last hit solo song currently in her set is If Anyone Falls, from 1983.

But what defines a hit? Talk to me peakest position was #4. Rooms on fire reached #16, and If Anyone Falls #14. I like those 3 songs but my favorite is IAF.

Statistically a hit would be a song that reaches the top ten? IAF wouldn't be a hit in that case, but it is to me, and since she included it in her compilations, and in setlists, it is to Stevie too.

In her last "best songs" compilation, Crystal Visions: The Very Best (I don't count boxsets cause they are not necessarily a GH collection), the list of songs are


1. Edge Of Seventeen
2. I Can't Wait
3. Sorcerer
4. If Anyone Falls
5. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (with Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers)
6. Silver Springs
7. Dreams (with Deep Dish)
8. Rhiannon (Live)
9. Rooms On Fire
10. Talk To Me
11. Landslide (with The Melbourne Symphony) [Live]
12. Stand Back
13. Planets Of The Universe
14. Rock And Roll (Live)
15. Leather And Lace (Stevie Nicks & Don Henley)
16. Edge Of Seventeen (with The Melbourne Symphony) [Live]

IMO I wouldn't include Sorcerer and R&R as "hits", among others. In fact I agree she has not had a real hit this millennium. If we consider hits as songs within the general top 100, there were 14, all of them from the last century.

How many of her singles does she do? Maybe that's a better way to say it.

I’d say what constitutes a hit has evolved over the years. Originally it referred to hit singles; songs that performed well on the singles chart. No clear definition but I’ve always considered anything in the top 40 to be a hit. I think we’ve learnt through FM and solo over that past 30 years or so that reaching the top 40 is a good/difficult achievement.

Also to consider….songs can be popular and perform well outside the US market and thus be hits.

I wouldn’t consider ‘best of’ collections to necessarily be full of hit songs. Though the term has probably evolved to cover songs that are in the public consciousness, irrespective of their chart placing or whether they were even released as singles. Thus; landslide, the chain etc.
