Stevie Nicks or Janis Joplin?

Stevie and maybe only because her rise coincided with my puberty.Janis was before my time and Stevie was right there ..Also I think as a songwriter Stevie takes it..or she did during her peak ...I guess she doesn't really write anymore.

What's the point of most discussions we have on The Ledge?
If we didn't discuss pointless things, there wouldn't be anything left to talk about.

Anyway I prefer Janis.

I got the quote from Stevie, she used it after her father died. I like it. It stops me from lighting up ....... Which has to be good

There is NO point!
It's just a mindless question thrown out to a bunch of fellow Mac fans to make internet message board conversation!
It's like when I got the business for a poll I posted recently.... sure, it wasn't rocket science but who cares?!
Sure, there may have been no comparison on the surface but can't we just throw out questions to each other for conversation-sake?

No need to over-think this stuff..... it means NOTHING!!
(whew.... had to vent that....

Yeah! it's true!! I just wanted to talk about it, cause Mick said in his book Stevie looked like Janis in her firsts mac tours.. so I wanted to ask you about these two great singers. No more...

It's like the fave mac member in the Rumours forum. They selected the Rumours lineup but that doesn't mean they are denying the other lineups..

Stevie and Janis are two of my favorite artists! I couldn't possibly pick between them, because I see them as totally different. Janis is FULL of soul and has that wonderful gravely voice. She was extremely influenced my blues singers like Big Momma Thornton. Janis is blues in my opinion.

Stevie, on the other hand, is FULL of mystery and other-worldness and has a wonderful, smoother, silkier voice. Stevie has said that she was mesmerized by Janis's stage performances, which in turn influenced her. Stevie was also more influenced by rock and pop artists than Janis. Stevie is rock and roll with some pop mixed in.

They both are amazing performers. They both are known for their fashion. They both have had their fair share of the rock and roll lifestyle---drugs, etc. In these ways, they are about equal.

I still say it is like comparing apples to oranges though! Both important and influencial in their own way.
