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.

For me its got to be the Gypsy. I've had a crush on her since I was a kid.

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

Especially from for those in the crowd that the older they get the better they were.

Pat Benetar anyone?

   I have been listening to Christine Perfect since she was with Chicken Shack back in the late 60's. Stevie Nick's not so much.

Christine Perfect.

Just bought McVie/Buckingham and her voice is still pretty good.

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

BUT,

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!
