12 Best Female Rock Singers Of All Time
6. Stevie Nicks - Fleetwood Mac
When they rose to prominence in the late 60's, Fleetwood Mac was certainly a good group, but was missing the key element to bring them to mainstream attention. While the albums they made with Peter Green are essential for any blues rock connoisseurs, it wasn't until their golden period in the 70's that people really started to take notice.
After a few lineup changes, the band's classic incarnation with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks made for some of the best rock music to ever find its way onto the airwaves. Though Buckingham gets a lot of credit for his songwriting, Nicks' impressive range and sultry voice was what won the hearts of fans around the world. A song like "Dreams" may have been brought on by personal tragedy, but the aching in her voice was one of the most emotional sounds to ever come out of the rock sphere.
Along with her solo career, Nicks also became known as the unofficial rock and roll siren, clad in dresses that resembled the witches of years gone by. She may not have been an actual witch, but when you listen to a song like "Landslide" or "Rhiannon," it's clear that Nicks has some celestial powers at play.
