I have always heard how terrible Taylor Swift is, and yet she continues to rise and do amazingly well. Strange.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
Yeah, nah, fook off.
deathbysockmonkey
Same thing
DarkBusterBaron
DigiT00l
Tbf, he also wrote a song about how much she sucked and he made her sing it
MomJokes
They’re both amazing. Next.
lazysombrero
Nicks maintained eye contact

Take that musician girl who my kid likes that isn’t as cool as the one I grew up with..?
eyesoftheearth
The band who made Led Zeppelin look like party poopers

“She looks great. Yeah she looks great”
Motosapien
Hayley Williams wrote songs about guitarist Josh Farro and made him play while she verbally cut the guy down. Decode was the last hit before he left.
"But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all"
nubblebun
Man, the world loves to shit on women doesn't it? You fucking go, Taylor, go. I think she's a fine role model.
criticalhitkoala
As a big rock star guy who loves Zepellin, Pearl Jam, etc....I absolutely adore these two and see no reason to make a big deal about either one being better than the other. Though if it comes to a game of basketball, I would choose Taylor over Stevie.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Sexy Senior Stevie is 75 years old now... I'd expect Taylor to win.
cloel
Yeah but Steamy Nicks rights songs about shittin her britches
aycaramba
and also the other way around, in an interview Stevie said that singing "go your own way" was also very difficult to sing because Lindsey wrote that song after they break up.
gloriaxstanley
Stop pitting women against each other. Also, Stevie is a huge Taylor fan, and personally thanked her for writing your on your own kid as it helped her get through the death of her fellow band mate https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/stevie-nicks-thanks-taylor-swift-midnights-song-1235334420/amp/

Taylor Swift has broken no barriers, trod no new ground, or really done anything unique. Her music is not my cup of tea and I don't find it enjoyable in any way. HOWEVER, she fucked the music business right back and made herself a billionaire in the process, so she has my respect for that.
gloriaxstanley
I feel like her fucking the music industry is in fact her breaking barriers, she caused record labels to add a clause about re-recording music because she broke that barrier and took back ownership

What an edgy take
AllMyOpinionSuck
I will never understand why nicks gets all the praise. That relationship was toxic and horrible from both sides. Led to some great music though I suppose.
ridureyu
Yes, but then he made her sing songs about what an asshole she was, Because Fleetwood Mac was nuts.
mcbotulism
George Strait sings about all his exes livin' in Texas.
DicksmackMcgee
Thank God he lives in Tennessee.
TK421isAFK
I absolutely love how you can hear their mutual feelings for each other in "Go Your Own Way", and how Mick breaks about 11 drum sticks 1/2
TK421isAFK
in the studio album recording of that song. There are a couple missing drum beats where he ran out of sticks and an engineer had to rush 2/3
TK421isAFK
in with more of them so he could keep playing, but they knew they needed to get the track down because the band was about to implode. 3/3
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Ok, Ok, but the live version in Boston for PBS is outta this world, no?
TK421isAFK
I don't think there's a version of that song (that Fleetwood Mac did - I really dislike most covers, with a few exceptions) that I don't like.
Lazarillo
“What if we locked people who hate each other in a room and only fed them guitars, pianos, and cocaine?”
VanillaMowgli
First of all, fuck, yes.
Equinox13
"They'd end up writing a song about how much you suck for locking them in a room."
DrMoneybeard
Not only hate each other, but have fucked, fueling the hate. And the answer is they will make one of the best albums of all time.
ErindorGhostPope
IIRC Gwen Stefani did something similar to one of the dudes in No Doubt
Sooner70
Yeah, but that was a whiny song again.
Jagernot
Also 100% perfectly predicted her own future in that one music video.
graehall
People who complain about Taylor Swift being whiny seem to be way more annoying & whiny than Taylor Swift fr
Rockafella83
TsubakiTragic
Said it b4 and will say it again, Swift and Dolly Parton are the 2 best songwriters since Bob Dylan.
namtrohs

FlatPlutoSociety
People in general absolutely refuse to be normal about Taylor Swift and it's just baffling.
SteelKnight
Not exactly a fan of her music but she is an angel as far I'm concerned
igglebotato
I wish I could upvote this more than once
TheDildoOfConsequences
I'll upvote you to make up for it.
Pally01
Added Difficulty: If someone complains about Swift do they not like her personality? Her public image? Her Music? Or do they hate that she told people to go and vote?
Anarchduke
maybe they are just upset because swift refuses to be the neo nazi poster child
TwiceK
I'm not a fan of hers, but I recognize her talent and popularity. Like, what a fucking boomer post.
putcleverusernamehere
Boomer here, same. There's maybe a handful of her songs I find catchy, but my daughters (not "Swiftie" nuts) encouraged me to watch her movie, and the combination of her amazing production, song writing and charisma is why she's an actual self made billionaire. Been doing it since her early teens, she's the real deal and makes the rappers and "patriot" countryboys no one will remember in 10 years look and sound pathetic.
Narwhilian
100% this. Like her music isn't for me and that's fine, not everything is for me. I can still recognize and appreciate that she is a talented artist and that a lot of people really connect with her music.
marshmallowcommando
Christine McVie was a better vocalist than Nicks.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Every Fwd Mac fan ever fell in love with Stevie and decades later realized McVie is the songbird they want to take home forever.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
RIP, Christine. You are missed.
Marsupialmessiah
Bur didnt have the goat voice which was signature for the band. Aside from the stupid lyrics from too much lsd "thunder always come when it's raining" no shit!
marshmallowcommando
Indeed, she didn't have the goat voice, which is what makes her the better vocalists to my ear. Just because something is "signature" doesn't mean it's good. That puts me in the minority but it's just my opinion. I have just never cared for Nicks' voice.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
I disregard your minority report!
Ximinipot
Stevie Nicks had talent though.
CE0485
Right……
theregoesthegayborhood
Found all the swifties lol
Wargamez
If you think Taylor Swift writes a lot of "whiny songs about ex's", then I have some really bad news for you about The Beatles and 90% of every single other artist in the history of music.
Yetiphobia
Point taken but the Beatles is the wrong group to use as an example. Even in their early days they wrote about girlfriends, not ex-girlfriends, and later on it was Lucy and Lovely Rita.
idiotsonfire
Right, singing about your ex that left is like, 93% of all country music when it isn't about the gun, America, or the pickup breaking down.
thetickcannothaveaspoontoobig
My ex took my gun and my pickup broke down on my way to take it back, which is great cause it's the Murica way
Natdictit
I mean there was that one song about a tractor, pretty sure they rucked the tractor tho
th3guy
The pickup breaking down is even sometimes a metaphor for their failing romantic relationship 😂
Thekindofkindlyman
One of my favorite Whose Line Prompts was things you’ll never hear in a country song - “I’m sober and she’s faithful”
idiotsonfire
Oh my god I miss that show so much, it was so good.
Snuffdigit
Sometimes it’s about the ex who stole your truck and your dog at gunpoint
hogeyegrex
You left out momma, prison, and a train.
idiotsonfire
I wasn't sure about the overlap in percentages, that's all grandfathered in.
hogeyegrex
I was just referencing the perfect country and western song.
https://youtu.be/s4pZFsEdP3Y
Go three minutes in if you don’t want to listen to the whole thing.
UtahGimm3Tw0
You obviously haven’t heard the greatest song ever written….about cockfighting
idiotsonfire
No, I refuse to listen to any song with that fucking TWANG noise in it. Its like having an icepick lobotomize me without anesthesia.
rorens
It’s almost like pitting two successful women or people against each other isn’t necessary…
TheSecondPiewackit
Only if there's jello and a pool?

Velglarn
There isnt even a mild comparison
LucilleAustero
Yep, both slap. Moving on.
RickTheMarshallSelke
Yeah, we can dislike Taylor's music without involving other artists.

imgur has weird arbitrary rules about who you're allowed to stan over.

Imgur: if it's upvoted, agree and upvote. If it's downvoted, also downvote and don't forget to say something mean.
ZZTRaider
Especially screwy to pit women against each other for doing something that men do all the time without anyone batting an eye.
eatyourmeat
Well yeah because one of them broke into the industry without their dad buying the record label
PeeturDee
The industry? Her father bought a minority stake in Big Machine whilst she was recording her album for them. So did he retrospectively break her into the industry?
eatyourmeat
Surely his money had nothing to do with her getting signed or how she was marketed

You must be poor and white, or else you wouldn't have to pay the taxes.
