My apologies. I got carried away. Stevie does that to me.

Oh please. You're fine. Very fine. Very, VERY, fine.

This is the worst thread I have seen on this board. Just the title of it is like nails down a chalk board Then with so many comparing and measuring each member against the other. Who had more hits, who sold more albums, who is less successful, who has more talent, etc. Its really sad. I cant imagine a thread like this on another band like the Eagles. Can you imagine something like: Don Henley owes the Eagles NOTHING. He had a successful solo career. Glen Frey only had a few solo hits.
I mean....really! Its so 4th grade stuff.
Fleetwood Mac is like any other band. Each member is a pillar of strength and talent. When they work together its pure magic. To dissect them and make claims who is more talented is pure rubbish. The Mac is probably the most unique band for its members. Its a strength, not a weakness. Each adds something so incredible to the band. Each made each other the super stars they are today.

BBC Radio 2 is the most popular radio station in the UK with around 15 million listeners so chances are, whatever songs I hear on the radio, the majority of UK radio listeners are going to hear too.

Btw, Radio 2 loves Fleetwood Mac.

It's a mentality of insecurity. If you read between the lines, you can learn a lot about a ledgie.

We had a shipper era here during the non-Christine period and it was insufferable. Every post was about their romance. So this post is nothing in comparison. But we keep it movin..

That said, the people that disagree probably have so much more in common beside which member they like, etc. It becomes more visible in chit chat.

Personally I feel Stevie owes FM a few good songs for a new FM record! Prolific songwriter that she claims to be? More BS or has the well run dry?!

Doesn't she have anything important left to say? To inspire, change, and affect people's lives? Isn't that what should be the real driving force of writing and making music? Or is it about sales and money? Is she really that shallow? I hope she proves me wrong. A lot of her words and songs have been so inspirational and moving in my life.

I know what you mean... a lot of people felt the same way when Lindsey left the band. And when Christine left the band. Guess Stevie just felt it was her turn. I wonder if Christine having a fear of flying was just b.s. because her well had run dry.

But, Stevie hasn't left the band.

When you have nothing left to say, you have to leave, like Lindsey and Christine did in the past (oh, and don't forget Stevie!).

If your inspiration returns, you can always come back, like they all did.

This privilege of "being in a band but doing whatever I want" doesn't work for me.

Is it really that shallow of someone to want to make money? Who here would still go to work if there was no pay?
I wish Stevie would make a record with FM, but she's not shallow if she chooses not to. Please...

Good god, wake tf up. She doesn't NEED any more money. This is about EGO.

She's been acting jealous ever since Christine came back. She didn't realize how much Christine meant to the band's legacy, and to the fans.

She wants to be the center of attention, and she ONLY feels like that now when she's solo(because even when Chris was gone, Lindsey outshone her by leaps and bounds). And she SHOULD be solo, but she won't walk away from the payday, and ~what attention~ she does get with FM.

Lindsey and Chris walked away when they'd had enough, but she won't. She'd rather hold them hostage. She's a drama queen.

She had her turn from 1991-97.

ETA: While on her hiatus,, Christine released a solo album, which is only one solo album and a Fleetwood Mac album less than Stevie's output in that time frame, and she was mostly retired.

ETA2: Lindsey contributed a song to the box set in 1992 when he wasn't in the band anymore and helped finish "Paper Doll," not to mention his cameos on BTM and Time.

I never said she NEEDS money. And that's your opinion, what you think means nothing to me or a lot of people on this board. Why don't you wake tfu

If it's something I love, I'd do it. Touring and recording cost most musicians money when all is said and done, but the simple passion for making music is what keeps them going. I'm talking about the people who rent a crappy van, play to 20 people, and staying in someone's basement or a roach motel.

She's not shallow, she's lost her passion.
