I am a Stevie fan!!

It took me some time to appreciate Lindsey, and that time came when I saw them in '97 and watched from the 4th row that man play Big Love... and I've appreciated him A LOT since seeing that show. I love the GOS demos. So, I am a Lindsey fan, too.

John and Christine are great also!

And Mick...

I love them both equally, in different ways. I sound like a mom talking about her kids, lol, but it's true. The unifying factor is the amount of emotion they express through their music.

Hmmm....I'm....really not....sure...who I am a fan of....

OH RIGHT!!!!

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM!!!!

He is the one who I fell in love with about 2 years ago...and who brought a joy UNSPEAKABLE into my life and I will be FOREVER grateful!!!

I love FM, most incarnations...but if we are talking, who do you love the mostest (LOL)...LINDSEY.

I guess I would be considered a Buckingham-Nicks fan.

It was Stevie that drew me in, and in all honesty, her music continues to speak to me in a more profound way than Lindsey's, but I would absolutely give Lindsey the credit for bringing forth the best elements in the vast majority of her songs that I would personally consider to be her masterpieces.

Then again, I do have a sincere appreciation for all of their solo work. I guess I just prefer them together, which is why I'm so excited about this tour since I've never seen them on stage together before!!!

If I had to choose one it would be Lindsey because I can most relate to him.

But I'm a fan of Lindsey's Fleetwood Mac more than anything. Whether with the Fireflies or BN combo.

I was a fan of Fleetwood Mac first (I can remember hearing Rhiannon on the radio back in '75/'76 when I was a kid)...

Later I became a Stevie Nicks fan and I have started to appreciate the musical ability of Lindsey Buckingham...

Brian "2000!!!" J.

Congrats Brian - and what a suitable note to greet the big 2000 on!

It was Stevie's voice and lyrics that drew me in, but it was the incredible musicianship, and the multitude of musical styles and moods, which made me a Fleetwood Mac fan.
All incarnations.

I have a great amount of respect and appreciation for each member, and I'd definitely prefer to listen to ANY Mac song over just about anything else anyone's ever recorded.
(Well, ok... i can do without some of Jeremy's contributions!!!)

I'm also a big fan of Lindsey, both in FM and solo... but to this day, Stevie still remains the one whose music most affects me, moves me, and inspires me.

Uhm... did I answer the question?

Stevie's songs, solo or with FM, speak to me the most out of all of them. But I'm learning more and more everyday that there is a lot to appreciate about Lindsey's solo stuff, too. Although they are both at their best when they're together. I love Chris and John and Mick, but to me, without Stevie (and Lindsey), it just falls flat.

I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan. From Peter Green to Bekka Bramlett and all points in between and beyond.

Johnny Stew · #12 04-04-2003, 02:05 AM

I love that statement, chili... you should make that your new signature.

You mentioned this before and I didn't quite understand so I want to clarify - that means you're a fan of Mick and John? Or just the name? Or just the fact that each of the incarnations happens to have been a good new band each time?

Thats about it I think...Told ya all it was complicated

That's not complicated Adam: you just don't like Lindsey - simple! "WEIRRRRD" but simple! lol

Peter Green and Lindsey are my faves. But I like watching Mick bang those drums. Look at the eyes!

I like a lot of Stevie and Chrstine's songs though.

Man Of The World is the most beautiful song written by Fleetwood Mac though.

Well, although I love CM's music and think it is the most accessible, I probably like Stevie the best because of the lyrics and she is still as visually mesmerizing to me as she was when I first saw the cover of Rumors when it was released. I say the same for her voice, esp. up through Rock a Little. Although I still like it to this day, after Rock a Little and even on some of Rock a Little (e.g. The Nightmare) her voice became less mesmerizing to me.

I also love Peter Green and think Man of the World is just about perfection and so very very sad given his life, etc.

I also really like LB, but for some reason his songs although mostly great, have never been a focal point for me as much as CM or SN.
