Janis Joplin is the better artist but I've had a crush on Stevie Nicks since I was little  . I still spin every Fleetwood Mac albums, Bella Donna and The Wild Heart on occasion.------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips.

I love Janis dearly but gotta give it to Stevie for songwriting talent and prolificity. One of the few true survivors of rock. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

What about them? Who would we rather see in porn? Well, both of course. And together. Whose one winged dove is gonna take a little piece of whose heart, baby? -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Joplin by far. well, I'm a Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac fan, I rarely listen to the albums with Nicks. Yes, she's a great singer, no doubt about that, but the line up albums with her and Buckingham get little attention from me.

Janis Joplin is niks1 (imho of course). I may like her as a person, but I don't have any liking for her music. One more vote for Stevie. 1 Niks means "nothing" in the informal version of my native language.

the question in the poll and first post is very vague. What am I supposed to look at, vocal skill, overall music, the way they look? I judged the overall music, that's why Joplin got my vote.

Janice easily, never a fan of the Nicks version of Mac. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

| Never liked Nicks time Fleetwood, but just saw her in Tom Petty´s gig and she sounded (and looked) really good. But it´s Janis to me. |

Personally prefer Stevie to Janis - but that's just the style I like better. In terms of importance and legacy, Janis is way out in front. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Janis all the way. I would describe Stevie Nicks' voice as "harmless". Janis on the other hand had expression and soul. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

| ^ back in the 90s, I had a live album of Joplin on cassettes and the live songs were amazing. Like Friede said, very expressive and soulful. |

Friede and I have been together for almost 25 years now, so I know that "harmless" is about the worst insult in her repertoire. so you can probably guess her opinion on "Barclay James Harmless"  -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.
