Stevie Nicks-Bella Donna

Best nap I've had in years. Honestly, isn't this the one that every Stevie Nicks fan points to as a high water mark? Isn't it considered a classic, must have record? I don't see it.

To be fair I am no more than a casual fan of Nicks or the band that birthed her, the Peter Green-less Fleetwood Mac. but some of their stuff is really good. I just couldn't get into this particular record. It's mostly slow, boring left over hippie hallucinations mixed with a few new songs by people who were having hit records at the time which makes for an uneven, uninspiring and desperately dull record.

Okay, "Edge Of Seventeen" is a classic song, as is "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". And the version of "Leather And Lace" here rivals the original. But the rest of the stuff? ZZZZZ....ZZZZZ....
