OMG you don't have ANY of her solo albums? I didn't think it was possible for a FM fan to say this.

Oh I could see that for sure, not owning one of Stevie's solo albums. On the other hand, I'd have a very hard time believing any FM fan (of the '75-'87, '97-now version anyway) doesn't know some key SN solo songs...Edge of 17, Stand Back, Leather and Lace, Stop Dragging My Heart Around....if someone was on here saying they hadn't heard of at least some of her solo work well, I would be 100% dumbfounded.

Yup. And to anyone who does not have a SN album you need to get BD now. That is her one work that most resembles her FM stuff but spared down. If you like her work on Tusk then you will like BD as well.

i think Fm has to embrace their fans and actually try. I think the Eagles and even Heart do a better job. I mean The Eagles released Long Road to Eden at Walmart and it became one of their highest selling cds. They went out and made real videos for How Long and Too Busy Being Fabulous. They didn't do just a stage shot video. They actually promoted the **** out of the cd. Releasing special editions playing a few specials. When's the last time FM did a tv special that wasn't just them like a performance on the Grammy's, People Choice...any of those shows. Radio interviews but they are short and not consistent enough. Lindsey did a lot of them for UTS and GOS and i think it helped.

Heart tours constantly since I think 1998 every year, new album or not. They do a great show they are always packed. They just know how to mix it up do some covers on stage, Led Zepplin, Elton John, Joni Mitchell. You can tell they are enjoying the interaction. I think they even did a vote on their website a couple years for what song do you want them play the hear most. And before Jupiter's Darling was released they tested the new songs live and more. They always do new promo shots every year.

Fm should kick their stupid management company and get whoever either of these bands have and they'd at least get new fans by the boat loads.

Heart did not do new promo shots in 2006 and their show in 2007 at Turning Stone Event Center in Verona, NY (5,000 capacity), had 2,000 people there.

The I wasn't going for an exact fact, I was just saying if you look at the activity level of Ann and Nancy. It's also the venues too, I live near Providence RI, and when heart comes they sometimes play smaller venues. I know a guy that works at the Old Boston Garden and FM is stuck in the bigger is better. I'd rather see them play a couple of smaller venues not a club or theater, but there are conventions that hold a large crowd.

I know they've done a few covers, might have been thinking of Nancy's solo cover of "a case of you" excellent version it's on her acoustic solo album.

Nope, not a single one. I know a couple of her solo songs (EO17, Stand Back and I have maybe once heard Rooms On Fire) and none of them made me excited enough to buy her solo stuff or even seek out more singles to listen to on Youtube. I have been meaning to get Bella Donna but it's just not near the top of my list so I've not got round to it yet.

I know two of those and I've only ever heard the live FM versions of Stand Back.

I guess I'll have to pick something up soon...
