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.

If I have to pick one, it would be Christine McVie.   I really like her slightly raspy voice, and I love most of her writings in Fleetwood Mac.

Stevie Nicks has probably one of the most unique singing style/voice in rock.   It could be an acquired taste for some people, and I find it to be fatiguing at times.   But she's a fabulous backing vocalist on many of the Fleetwood Mac songs with McVie in the lead.

I'm not dismissing Stevie Nicks at all, and I do really like her voice.  I think having them both together is what made Fleetwood Mac such a successful band.
