A wonderful way to wake up, with a joyous post from Stevie Nicks herself, that the announcement of her Hall of Fame induction is a groundbreaking milestone - she's the first ever female to be inducted TWICE. The first being with Fleetwood Mac in 1998.
Stevie took to Facebook to share the news with fans, stating that the recognition of her solo work is a "glorious feeling".
Since her career began, Rolling Stone has named Stevie as one of the "100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time" and one of the world’s top “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”. Eight Grammy Award nominations and two American Music Award nominations solidify that her solo work is due all the accolades it receives - this praise is entirely separate to her work with the Mac.

The Hall of Fame called her “rock and roll’s mystic poet. The unmistakable vocal timbre of Stevie Nicks’s voice has dominated rock. Nicks brought velvet and chiffon into the leather-and-denim world of rock, infusing sounds she admired from the acid rockers and Laurel Canyon singer-songwriters with a hint of black magic.”
This description is evident in all of her signature witchy sounds, which we have compiled here in our I Like: Stevie Nicks playlist.
All 2019 Hall of Fame inductees were announced overnight and include fan faves Def Leppard, The Cure, The Zombies and Janet Jackson.
