![]() So, I'm listening to my Buckingham Nicks Album & my fiance gets stuck on "Crystal". Just keeps listening to it.
He looks up at me and says, "I have no idea what they are singing about. I can't hear the words because I can't get past those voices. The way they sound together is awesome!" He was not a fan ( deffinantly becoming one though ![]() Anyways, I think it is so awesome that somebody who's never heard this stuff before is just as captivated by the dynamic of those two as we are! Got to love that! ![]() Just thought I'd share. ![]()

![]() I love the first version. Although the BN version and the WA version both have the same melody and words, there are differences. There's a different harmony on the WA one that I think doesn't work as well as Lindsey's as Stevie's. Also, for some reason, Lindsey sings the WA one to a higher pitch. His voice on the BN version is more masculine. On the BN version, also, you don't have the long instrumental at the end. It's much briefer. I heard the WA version first, and loved it. I heard the BN version third and adored it.
But, as the voice of dissention, that 1998 version does nothing for me. Stevie's voice is too low and the song loses a lot of its emotional power without that patented Buckingham Nicks dynamic. Not to mention, in a couple places, it sounds like her voice is straining. I do like the end, however, where she improvises. That's nice. I sing it at the end of the BN version. lol |

![]() I greatly prefer the Buckingham Nicks version over the Fleetwood Mac version....LB's voice sounds better, and the song's instrumentation sounds really sweet and peaceful.

![]() I agree with you guys! There is just something raw & powerful going on in the BN version. It's hands down, IMO, the best!
I just thought it was soo cool to see that reaction from him! ![]() ![]()

![]() I love the BN version. The WA version comes very close, though. (Don't care much for Stevie's 1998 version.) lol...My husband, although he likes some/most of Stevie's stuff, really doesn't like Lindsey's music. He says that he can't sing.

![]() Thanks for the info guys. It sounds like I need to get my hands on the BN version! I do really like Stevie's version- it is after all, her song- but I don't think it could possibly compare to the older version. What would be interesting to hear is Stevie singing lead vocals on Crystal back in the early days. I wonder if she ever did?...

![]() i like all the versions and i was especially pleased with the 1998 version although Stevie's voice is a lot lower. I liked her higher harmonies on the BN version. I love (an almost get chills) when i hear the WA version during the final "sea...eeeeeeeeee...yeah!!!"
Supposedly, they did this live in 1975 and i'd love to hear that. |

![]() Reading all these posts made me pull out the other versions, blow off the dust (
![]() And the WINNER is: ![]() Lindsey's voice is deffinantly better in this one. He sounds SEXY ![]() Stevie singing it alone does nothing for me. Even though she wrote the song, it just doesn't seem right without Lindsey singing it! (with her!) This song was written & meant to be done the way it was done on Buckingham Nicks for sure! ![]() ![]()

![]() I think I'm going to be the only one here, but I think that the mix of Christine's vocals to the precious Lindsey + Stevie harmonies plus the organ makes the White Album version the better of the tree. Buckingham Nicks comes as a close second, and... Stevie shouldn't probably have recorded her version, because, although she wrote this song, you relate it more to Lindsey. At least in a subconscient level, I suppose.

![]() I also prefer the White Album version because of the addition of Christine's vocals & keyboards. It sounds more like Fleetwood Mac. I don't really like the 1998 version at all.
