Not many have had musical careers like Stevie Nicks, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Her music has sold millions of albums as both a solo artist and as a member of
Fleetwood Mac
. Current artists like
Florence Welch
,
Lorde
and
Courtney Love
cite her as a musical influence, which makes Nicks a trailblazer in her own right. Given that her career started in 1966 and she manages to sell out her fair share of music venues to this day, it is safe to say that the bewitching artist can still cast a musical spell on her audiences. As a songwriter, Nicks has had many hits. Critics pick When The Glitter Fades from the album
Bella Donna
as her top song. Based on the
Billboard
charts, Stop Dragging My Heart Around with
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
on that same album ranks as the best. During her second induction into the Hall of Fame, she performed fan favorites such as Landslide, Edge of Seventeen and Leather and Lace.
Stevie Nicks only measures 5 foot 1 inches. Given that Mick Fleetwood, her musical partner of many years, stood at 6 foot 6 inches, she got used to wearing 6-inch platform boots. Since she enjoyed the added height, she continued to wear platform shoes even after they went out of style. Many artists end up developing a uniform for their on-stage persona, and Nicks is no exception. Her unique voice and witch-like style came together, adding to the poetic and symbolic lyrics of her songs, like Rhiannon and Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You.

Rolling Stone
magazine after the release of her first solo album in 1981. Nicks hails from the era when the musical talent of the artists was showcased front and center. Her concerts include well-timed lighting and beautiful stage backdrops. You go to a Nicks concert to listen to her sing her hits, though.
Stevie Nicks broke out as a solo performer when she was still a member of Fleetwood Mac. The original members of Fleetwood Mac were Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Peter Green as well as Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan. The album called

Rumours
-era members included Christine McVie, Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Nicks' first solo album,

, was released on July 27, 1981. It received rave reviews. Four singles made the
Billboard
Hot 100. The album itself reached the top spot on the
Billboard
200 chart.
