Stevie Nicks

Known in the ‘70s for: Being the lead singer of the band Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie Nicks and her boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham took over the band Fleetwood Mac in 1974 during what may be the most sensational yet tranquil coups in the history of rock. The band began as a UK-based blues-rock group in the latter half of the ‘60s who put out nine albums before Nicks and Buckingham’s arrival.

The two arrived, they almost immediately took over much of the band’s songwriting (with some input from Christine McVie). The credits to the band’s hit tracks “Rhiannon” and “Landslide” from the group’s 1975 self-titled album are all given to Nicks. Nicks also got labeled as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time by Rolling Stone. Notably, she is the only woman inducted twice in the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, one for being a solo artist and one as a member of Fleetwood Mac.
