You're right in that it doesn't matter......it was simply an opinion. What I disagree with is just how "common" that some of you seem to think that Stevie Nicks is. Granted, she is NOT a beautiful 20-22 year old. And I admit that she does not have the voice talent of Christina Aguilera(that chick has a HUGE voice for someone so small). The genius of Stevie Nicks is how she USES her voice. Does she have limited range? Yes. Does she make good use of that limited range? Absolutely. I agree that she has a very "haunting" voice. Also, I don't think that Madonna, Britney, or Christina can even TOUCH her song-writing talent. I have no problems with Madonna's music nor with any of the other two. The biggest problem there is that they sing SOMEONE ELSE's lyrics. They don't have the heartfelt emotion in their songs because they didn't write them about their own ups and downs. Stevie Nicks has has a LOT of ups and downs and she has turned a great deal of those into songs. That seems to be her way of coping and letting it all out. Her songs deal with her own "demons" and her experiences when going through those rough times. I'm not trying to rant or put anybody down.....I just wanted to voice a slightly different perspective on things.

You hit the nail on the head. :beer:
Personaly I don't like Britneys music- too generic. She comes out of a big mold that a lot of them do now days. They may have good voices, but no tallent of there own- no life experiance.
