Christine McVie is a great songwriter, but a very poor singer. You can make fun of Stevie Nicks for sounding like a goat, but her voice is unique, strong and iconic.
Personally it would be good to have Christine McVie back, but they can also do OK without her.[/QUOTE]
I love Stevie. She has several qualities, only one of which is goat. Her voice also has that smokey, slightly wrecked feel that is dusky and compelling and vaguely imperative. I had a friend once for whom songs were immediately destroyed by the sound of her. He'd immediately mentally collapse in "GOAT!". I saw some animated film in the mid 2000's that had an outspoken goat in it somewhere and I wrote an online review for his benefit that gave the movie zero stars based on the fact that as soon as the goat spoke I thought "Stevie Nicks." and it ruined the entire thing for me. :)
Christine McVie reminds me a little of Brian May in that hers is an imperfect and infrequent voice in the mix that is nonetheless an irreplaceable piece of the shape of the entire experience. Songbird is as powerful and stirring as music can get, and there is almost nothing but her in all her conventional imperfection on it. You Make Loving Fun, Over My Head, both great. I'd miss her.

I saw The Who a few months back in Montreal.
It was amazing. If you have any positive thoughts toward the Quadrophenia album, you will love the show.
Seriously, go to The Who.

If it wasn't for CmV Tango in the Night wouldn't have been a millionth as successful as it was. Stevie Nicks contributed nothing (well, hardly anything)

As I understand it, Roger's finally opting to bitch out on some of the songs with regards to them being in the original key - if stuff like that doesn't bother you, it should still be a great show. I saw them on the 2009 tour and it was fuckin' ace.
I'm not sure if they bust out any Tommy during the "non-Quadrophenia-play-the-classics" portion of this show, but when I saw them and they did Amazing Journey I nearly shat myself.

I much prefer Christine Mc Vie's voice. I liked the Stevie Nicks goat reference too!.....lol.
