Damn that Buckingham and Nicks. Just think how successful Fleetwood Mac might have been without them!

Has absoLUTELY nothing to do with me "being bitter"...which I'm not in the f***ing least. And a pox on you for even suggesting that.
Well now you are just swearing and arguing the definition of relevance.

In case you didn't know, there is more to music than Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus in the eyes of the younger generation today. I live in it. You would be surprised when you scan everyone's shared Itunes at a college campus, how many of them have Fleetwood Mac's VBO or Stevie's Timespace. I would say 60-70% have one or the other. Sure they aren't putting out new music, but everyone I went to school with knew about FM coming to my area and that I was going.

But to the world in general? I repeat, uhhhh, no.
If you're going to cast so wide a net one could argue none of the Mac's music fits in the latter category. It's just good music that millions of people love. And certainly no less relevant (and most likely more so) than Bekka's at this time. Besides, I define relevant differently: she is still innovating. "Illume" for example sounds very different than most other songs she's recorded, as does "Everybody Finds Out." She continues to find new ways, too, of working with her shrinking vocal range. I give her props. So, uhhhhh, yes.

Was "illume" released as a single? Did it top the charts? Did Rolling Stone magazine do backflips over the song? Did they make the cover of the magazine?

No, no, no, and...uhhh...NO! They got next to zero press on the release of SYW, other than a couple of well paid for placements on a couple of NBC dramas and one comedy, the album got next to zero airplay. That, to me, puts the "relevant" quotient at, uhhh...zero...none, nada.

I'm not saying that the songs themselves don't move the listener...I'm not saying that I dislike them, obviously, I LOVE Fleetwood Mac, or I wouldn't be HERE for the last umpteen years. I just seem to have a more realistic view of where they fit in today's world than apparently some do.

I'm saying that they're not even a blip on the radar of the music business anymore. Sure, they still can sell out arenas, but the same people are going tour after tour, show after show. And obviously some new 20 something fan has taken my place at their concerts because I can't afford their tickets anymore.

That said, the entire music biz's "relevance" has dropped like a rock off of the Empire State bldg. "Relevance" in today's market is: "Who's on American Idol?". Where are the "new Bob Dylans"? The "new Beatles"? The "new U2s"??? The "new Springsteens"?? (well, Bruce is still "relevant" so never mind that last one) There aren't any...the music biz is dying...in some cases already dead. And Fleetwood Mac was irrelevant LONG before its demise.

Stevie Nicks Rocks baby as Rolling Stones Magazine Crowned Her The Queen of Rock N Roll back in 1981 and she still holds that crown very well.

I leave for over a week and this thread's gone nuts. Even though I did vote for Lindsey, it'd be a bit hard for me to pick between Stevie and Chris. They both have great songs and great voices, but at the end of the day, I've always had a bit of preference for Chris's voice.

And BTW, when I said vote for someone else, I just threw out Grace as an example of another great rocker chick. There's many you could choose from, such as Ann Wilson, Chrissie Hynde, etc.

Oooh yes. Debbie Harry. I've been on a total Blondie kick lately. Shayla is such a pretty song!

And they have a new album coming out next month!
