12Cool voice, I like some of those Mac songs but my mind goes here half the time:
Re: Song Writer: Stevie Nicks
13I like Fleetwood Mac, and I like her voice....never realized that she had sole writing credit on many of those, including several of the big ones. Not Crap. Extra points for the band having three very strong songwriters who also all loved cocaine in their peak era.
“When the band decided that the cover of Tusk should be a picture of Scooter biting my foot, Stevie told me that she had put a hex on Scooter,” Fleetwood Mac producer Ken Caillat explained. “Then, when he died four years later in 1983, Stevie said, ‘I’m glad, Ken. Your dog had that album cover that should have been mine.’”
Re: Song Writer: Stevie Nicks
14Among other things, she wrote "Gypsy." That's a pretty great moody radio hit.
Re: Song Writer: Stevie Nicks
15Incredible songwriter. Even if she'd only ever written "Silver Springs" (my favorite F Mac song), "Landslide," and "Sisters of the Moon," that'd easily be enough for me to vote NOT CRAP. But she's written a ton of other great songs.

Landslide alone would be enough. Whatever it is there aren't many songs like it.
Dreams, hypnotic, almost a drone. Two chords most of it.
Rhiannon, also mostly two chords, prototypical W Coast rock groove. Worthy of real analysis. "She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness."
Sara, impeccable, unhurried--art. Long, perfectly arranged in a series of waves. "The sea of love / where everyone would love to drown."
She was genuine, too, with no filter really, and that let her get away with stuff other people might not.

I also enjoyed her appearances on American Horror Story: Coven and the way an old bf imitated her dancing in the "Stand Back" video.

18Confession: The first time I heard 'Landslide' was Billy Corgan's cover of it.
Not a huge fan of the Mac but they and Ms. Nicks both have a few tunes I still enjoy.
'Edge of Seventeen' is always welcome on my radio.

19I just watched the 'official music video' of Sara to remind myself, and 90 seconds in I got a contact high. Good song though.

Agree with all this. She also wrote “That’s Alright” and “Gypsy,” which (on the right day) might be my two favorite FM songs.eephus wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2025 2:06 pm Rewards close listening.

For whatever reason, her solo material leaves me cold. I really don’t like any of it.
