I vote for Stevie Nicks because of:

Stand Back
Edge Of Seventeen

I know you didn't write it on your list. But my vote will still stand!

Agreed. Steve had the most sucessful solo career thus far and has proven that she is in it for the long run.

Stevie, by far.

These are my all time fav Fleetwood songs!

3 Stevie, 4 Lindsey & 1 Christine songs...

But (because of "Silver Springs") I say Stevie!!!

stevie has such a strong catalog to draw from in concert, whether solo or with fleetwood mac. it is amazing that she can do a show without performing key songs of her career, meaning, you don't expect to hear fleetwood mac songs at a solo show or solo hits at a fleetwood mac show.

i for one, love all 3 of them, all are top writers, and lindsey is way underrated both as a guitar player and as a producer but, stevie wins for me due to the poetry of her lyrics and that quality of her voice

Lindsey's my fave for musical vision.
Stevie's my fave songwriter overall.
Christine was the most consistant.

I think they are all great, but Stevie rules.

Lindsey:

Monday Morning
I'm So Afraid
Second Hand News

The Ledge

Cheek said:

Don't get me wrong, I like it. In fact I used to love it. It's quirky, it's fun, it's just not one of my favourites of Lindsey's anymore.


Now fetch me a beer!

Stevie has always been my favorite.

Lindsey , however , is HORRIBLY under-rated in ALL departments ( production, musician, songwriter , singer )

Christine - had most of the "hits" ... her pre-1975 work is good too.

MrTation said:

Yes he is.

Cloudbuster said:

and let it be known, thus this day be the start of the end...


agreed

I'm not super familiar with all of their work, but I like Stevie and Christine about the same. Stevie has more stage presence, but Christine is just so smooth.

I guess I'm in the minority,but my favorite member is Christine McVie

I was really disappointed that she wasn't a part of their last tour and album.It just doesn't feel the same without her.Hopefully,she will be on board next time around.

DavidEye said:

a mother f*ckin men.....

i dont care about touring....let mcvie be a part of the album.....i love nicks..i love buckingham...but a fleetwood mac album isnt a fleetwood mac album without all of the members...ALL OF THEM...

Stevie Nicks by a landslide (no pun intended)

sosgemini said:

...except Christine doesn't want to be in the band anymore.

TonyVanDam said:

yes she does..she just doesnt want to tour. she is of the grace slick mindframe that old people should not tour.....i can sorta understand....i think a good compromise would be to do a las vegas six month stand or something.....but then that sorta makes you'r career cheesy so i can also understand why the rest of the band wouldnt wanna go with it...but touring has got to be hard on the body and spirit....

sosgemini said:

...and Stevie Nicks has been doing it as if it's not just a career, but her life!!!

Sorry but there's not much competition here. Stevie nicks wins hands down. her voice is amazing. Love the lace outfits and crazy boots, her lyrics are great though i don't always understand them and she rocks. Come on, what more do you need to know? it's all about, stand back, edge of seventeen, belladonna,trouble in shangrila, and the wild hearts!
