History YMMV / StevieNicks

* FaceOfTheBand: She's the best-known member of Music/FleetwoodMac.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Her solo debut, ''Music/{{Bella Donna|Album}}'', is her most popular album. Her larger-than-life stage persona and turbulent personal life also give her a "diva" quality that appeals to gay men.
* LGBTFanbase: She inspired a drag queen event called "Night of 1,000 Stevies."

* FirstInstallmentWins: Her solo debut, ''Music/{{Bella Donna|Album}}'', is her most popular album.

* FirstInstallmentWins: Her solo debut, ''Bella Donna'', is her most popular album.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Stevie wrote "Leather and Lace" for Music/WaylonJennings and Jessi Colter. While they recorded the song, it was not released on its intended album. So she decided to take it for herself, and drafted [[Music/{{Eagles}} Don Henley]] for the duet.

* CriticalDissonance: During the Eighties, the time of her biggest popularity, Stevie didn't get a lot of love from major-media rock critics, most of whom, by some odd coincidence, happened to be big fanboys of Lindsey Buckingham. ''Rolling Stone'' was particularly notable (or egregious) in this regard; it took ''decades'' for that magazine to give her a really good review of any of her albums. In the last decade or so, however, critics have started giving her work a much better reception; this may be partly due to the number of younger artists who've cited her as an influence or inspiration.

* SignatureSong: "Rhiannon", [[EpicRocking "Edge of Seventeen"]], "Dreams", "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You", "Landslide", "Stand Back".
** "Stand Back" is particularly notable as it is the only song from her solo career that she has ever performed with Fleetwood Mac.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: of her solo work, the epic rock song "Edge of Seventeen".

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: of her solo work, the epic rock song "Edge of Seventeen".

* TheWoobie: Stevie had a tough time personally during the 1980's. Her closest friend of all since childhood died of leukemia shortly after giving birth, then out of grief Stevie dashed into an ill-considered marriage to her friend's widower out of a sense of duty to the baby, and throughout the decade she was fighting addiction to first cocaine and then the medication (Klonopin) that she was prescribed as part of her rehab therapy. Not to mention [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking that she severely sprained her ankle just before her 1989 tour began and had to spend most of it wearing Reeboks onstage instead of her famous platform boots.]]

* SampledUp: The riff from "Edge of Seventeen" was sampled for Music/DestinysChild's "Bootylicious".

* FaceOfTheBand: She's the most well-known member of Music/FleetwoodMac.
