If you weren't into Debbie Harry and Blondie, you were probably into Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. The softer and gentler tones of the British-American rock band captured the imaginations of people who were put off by the more aggressive punk sound of the 70s, and Stevie Nicks was every bit the beauty queen and fashion icon Harry was.
Nicks breathy vocals and dynamic range delighted audiences everywhere she went, with a power that belied her size. Fleetwood Mac was arguably a band ahead of their time. 1977's 'Rumors' was arguably their finest achievement, which seemingly everybody owning a copy. Both Nicks and her bandmates frequently wrote about their own experiences; which is a little awkward, seeing as some of them had romantic history with each other. Songs like 'The Chain' and 'Go Your Own Way' were full of sincerity, but it was the Nicks-penned 'Dreams' that became a classic.
