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.

Stevie Nicks is, in my opinion, one of the most highly overrated singers. 

Compare her to this, for example:

"Its funny to read all the negative comments about one of the most beautiful singers of a generation"

Nicks fans always highlight her sexiness and looks.  Her evident pitch problems are the main reason I don't find her singing appealing. . . 
In the end, everyone's looks fade. I thought we were talking about vocal abilities, here.

"IMHO no one can match Linda Ronstadt's energy, quality and excellence in different types of songs and music".

I can think of a few others who, to my ears, are just as excellent in their own way (Emmy Lou Harris, Tracy Nelson, Judy Collins, Linda Thompson spring to mind immediately) but you are certainly right about L. R.'s quality and consistency spanning multiple genres. In that regard, she has no peers.
