Maybe I'm SEMI-chiffonish then.
I'm more of a platform boots and beret kind of guy. And whatever her old Edge shawl was made out of. I could massage that thing for hours. Oh and lace, lots of lace.

Not that I have any experience with that kind of stuff.

Chiffonheads have the most concentrated amount of votes, but the other factions combined have more votes overall (albeit by a slight margin).

I have to admit that the most militant of Chiffonheads tend to make me cringe the most (or just Chiffonheads in general, as David O. explained to me a while back that the term really wasn't meant to describe ALL Nicks fans, only those who are the most truculent), as I think a rational debate is always better than a knee-jerk, "but she's a GODDESS" rebuttal. However, I still maintain that they're truly no worse than the most vocal of the other fan factions, as they can all seem like irrational dolts from time to time.

But as annoying as those various factions can be, I think they ultimately cancel each other out... so I voted for the "hangers on." Possessing a discerning eye/ear is always a good thing, but once you've turned into a parody of Statler & Waldorf, it's time to move on.

I went with the Chiffonheads, but I feel I must clarify. I define Chiffonhead as someone who refuses to admit that Stevie's ever recorded a bad song, or think she hasn't ever made a mistake, or that her poo doesn't smell. I mean, I know her poo has glitter & sparkles in it, but I'm sure it smells.

The Greenies were a very close second. I'm sure one of them will be along shortly to tell me I should have picked them & that I have no taste.

That's why I picked them, is because they can't just like
Green, they have to badmouth the others.

What you talkin 'bout Willis??

I like others, not just Green.. Blue for instance is a great colour.. Now if you mix Green with the Blues you get something great..

Stevie has glitter in her crap? ooh interesting diet. Lindsey has never had a crap since he is so anally retentive..

Truth is I like 'em all equally, but Greeny and John just a bit more.

Actually, I notice there isn't a John McVie catagory. Thats 'cos John's fans are too cool to answer such a thread I bet.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about "people" who say things like "Lindsey Buckingham ruined Fleetwood Mac!"

I voted Sugar Daddies. I'm a smart girl, and a longtime fan of all the incarnations of the band except the post TITN lineups. But I don't like the vast majority of Chris's songs. I skip past them. Always. And that's okay. What I don't like are the people who think I'm nuts for it and try to reform me. Quit it. "Isn't it Midnight" sucks. I don't even like "You Make Loving Fun."

And no, I won't listen to "Nights in Estoril" and change my mind. EVER.

HAYLEY SPEAKZ TRUFZ.

Though I like Christine, just mostly her material pre-Rumours up to Tusk. Really, I just like her witty English-ness.

I like Chris okay, but that was funny. She is usually my most skipped as well, but I still like her.

I'm going to start quoting the above next time someone says I'm an idiot for not liking a song. If necessary, I'll just take out Chris' name & insert Peter's or Bob's or Billy's or whoever.

Where's the "all of the above" choice?
