This shouldn't even be a contest. Grace Slick was very good in her Jefferson Airplane days but she wore out her voice early and Starship was just an abomination. Stevie Nicks rules !



Need I say more ?

"We Built This City" was an abomination. Starship wasn't horrible. They were just a meh band with 2 or 3 decent "hit" songs.

This is no competition.. Stevie! I saw Fleetwood Mac last May at Jazzfest and Stevie will always remain timeless in her voice as well as style!!

I always thought of Fleetwood Mac as the band led by Peter Green. I liked some of the material when they were had Danny Kirwin and Bob Welsh. When Christine McVie joined the band, she added to their sound. However, when Buckingham and Nicks joined the band, I lost interest- as far as I am concerned, they killed the band. I have never liked Nicks or her hoarse voice.
Grace Slick, on the other hand, didn't 'take over' the Airplane, she added to their sound. Very pleasant, even sexy voice, and sounded good in harmony vocals with either Paul or Marty. And lastly, in the late 60's, early 70's Grace was a huge sex symbol, a real hotty back in the day...

Killed the band? I can see opinions being different from an enjoyment angle, but The White album and Rumors ....well, have you seen how many have been sold? Buckingham was the greatest thing to ever happen to that band.

From a commercial standpoint Nicks/Buckingham brought them success, but they certainly did not bring any creativity to the band...I will pass.

i've read a few interviews where she admitted she was just trying to follow the money, even in the jefferson airplane days. i know it's the music business and all that, but i was kinda disappointed to read that art was secondary to commerce with her, even in the beginning. still, like i said, she's a great singer....
