[Edge]

2. Definitely nails across a chalkboard...

no offense, Stevie Nicks fans.

[Mobius]

4. Stop Dragging my heart around with Tom Petty

made me nearly suicidal, it was so bad.

[proud patriot]

3. love her

:hi:

[OneBlueSky]

5. how about somewhere in between . . .

she IS talented, and she's most definitely had her moments (e.g. around the time of "Rumours") . . . her problem is that, unlike the truly great vocalists who seem to get better with each listening and who you never tire of, when you listen to Stevie repeatedly, she does actually start to grate on you . . .

I really liked her around the time she and Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood and thought she made some great music with them . . . now I rarely (if ever) listen to her . . . part of it has to do with how overplayed her hits were when they were making their runs, I suppose . . . quickly got to the point where every time the song came up, I automatically changed the station . . .

6. Love her early stuff with Lindsey and Most of the Fleetwood Mack, but...

...I cant stand most or all of her solo stuff. "Stand Back" is possibly the worst radio hit ever...

[VOX]

7. Love her in spite of herself...

She does have some repetitive vocal mannerisms that can induce serious listener fatigue.

Nevertheless, she has written some terrific songs (overplayed they may be), and inspired a whole new generation of women singers.

In sum, and in spite of her flaws, I 'll always have a soft spot in my ticker for Stevie.

Her last album was wonderful.

9. Couldn't stand Fleetwod Mac aftrr the original band broke up

Stevie Nicks or no

[Intelsucks]

10. "Landslide" was ripped-off by Smashing Pumpkins and Dixie Chicks

Great song. The Dixie Chicks version sucks.

[Red_Storm]

12. It does suck

[supernova]

11. Good songwriter; so-so singer

I'm thinking "Landslide" etc.

But that's OK. And I do agree her solo stuff gets overplayed. Her voice is rather thin.

13. Stevie Nicks is living proof that cocaine is bad for you. N/T

[Red_Storm]

16. I thought Keith Richards was

[GOPisEvil]

18. I'm not sure Keith Richards is alive...

...they're doing wonders with animatronics these days.

[Intelsucks]

19. I think he croaked right after "Tattoo You" but no one bothered to

tell him.

[geniph]

25. Imhotep the Undying is proof of the efficacy of embalming

(oddly enough, Keith is a very devoted family man - he drives the family van to pick up his kids at school and everything. He's been married to former supermodel Patti Hansen forever.)

[Scout]

14. twirl, Stevie, twirl!

can't stand her, never could

[LuLu550]

20. I'm with you

she is soooo off-key I want to :puke:

[Loonman]

15. Key supporter of the Bolivian economy during Mac

SNOOOOOOOOOOOORT!

[joshdawg]

17. Stevie Nicks?

Edible. Strictly edible.

[Skittles]

21. I like her except when she sang SILENT NIGHT

that was just Godawful.

[populistmom]

22. I like her songwriting better than her singing

But, she's still good either way. :)

[curlyred]

23. bah-ah-ah-ah-d

The South Park parody of a goat instead of her singing was right on.

[geniph]

24. I'm surprised you didn't offer another option

sometimes one, sometimes the other. Sometimes her pretensions get ahead of her, but there's definitely a gifted songwriter in there under all the fluff.

I've never thought her voice was technically very good, but it is an interesting voice.
