Nicks or McVie.....


Which singer do the fine people of Audiogon prefer? In the past, personally, I always preferred the sound of Stevie Nicks. It was in the early 2000’s that the show South Park lured my mind into thinking Stevie Nicks sounded like a billy goat. Having mostly cleared my mind of such nonsense, McVie is still my preferred set of female vocals. Fleetwood Mac is a fine institution regardless of who happens to be on lead vocals.

I think they are both great in their own way and together. Their voices fit the music they do.
Peter Green. The Nicks- Buckingham version of the Mac is a completely different incarnation following the departure of Peter Green, who founded the band.

Give a listen to “Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac”; “English Rose” and particularly “Then Play On”…this one of the best albums ever made….
….but between Nicks and Christine Perfect Mc Vie, I will take the latter….
Christine for me, but I LOVED Stevie's young voice on The BuckinghamNicks album.  My wife and I each brought a copy of that LP into our marriage. 
Just today I learned the musicians who appear on the 1973 Buckingham Nicks album include Jim Keltner and Ron Tutt on drums and Jerry Scheff on bass. Damn it, another album I must now acquire.
The Buckingham Nicks album was unknown to me as well. Will definitely have to check it out.
