YMMV / Stevie Nicks

• Awesome Music: Of her solo work, the epic rock song "Edge of Seventeen".
• Critical Dissonance: 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.
• Epic Riff: "Edge of Seventeen".
• First Installment Wins: Her solo debut, Bella Donna, is her most popular album.
• LGBT Fanbase: She inspired a drag queen event called "Night of 1,000 Stevies." Her larger-than-life stage persona and turbulent personal life also give her a "diva" quality that appeals to gay men.
• Sampled Up: The riff from "Edge of Seventeen" was sampled for Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious". In reference to this, she made a cameo in the video for the song.
• Signature Song: "Rhiannon", "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.
