Stevie Nicks & The Heartbreakers

[mitzo]

Thanks Dr. Brown it is nice to know that I am not alone. I am always puzzled at the love most on these forums have for the Tom Petty influence on Stevie. What I hear is wasted potential. Anodyne songs set against flat, grating, tinny instrumentals, all which make Stevie's talents seem really limited. She seems to try to imitate Petty with her vocals, which just makes everything all the more unpleasant to the ear.

Sheryl Crow also fugged things up by making Stevie sound like a cow bellowing in an empty rain barrel to the guitar fumblings of my cousin Bubba, recorded on a 1980's era cassette recorder.
