I don't know about "singers"--Linda Ronstadt is a SINGER, or "vocalist" if you will.

The singing STYLES fit the song, and NEITHER are "vocalists" in the old school way-- Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Bette Midler, The Andrews Sisters, etc.
But, it is a GREAT song, so...I think many (rock) groups record the "best" choice for a specific song--Beatles, Stones, etc. Buddy Holley was clearly NOT a "vocalist" but a "stylist" like most today.
A "singer" or "vocalist" today might be Diana Krall...
Both Nicks and McVie are fine at what they do...I can't sing a lick, so I appreciate what ALL of them do.
Oh, I like them both...
Cheers!
