three country music songs from stevie nicks did it for me

it took this song that i heard on fm radio, that i really like
to make me wonder who sang it
https://youtu.be/PgagPdVM7bk?si=KpxyiWGtVULuGLs-

after i found out who sang it, i also found out that she wrote it
then i heard another song of hers on a cd that i borrowed from the library
i loved that song too but later i saw a video of it, a live performance
and the ending of the song was different
she was giving it all she got, singing her lungs out, like a real rock singer
https://youtu.be/jQAK6sVovUk?si=nHc3HQ3HpRbLvtox

when she got much older, her voice was damaged by overuse of cocaine
but in the video below, her voice was still okay
and this third song of hers made me a fan for life
just melodies + lyrics + acoustic guitar

When I listened to the unplugged version of Playing God by Tim Henson of Polyphia, I became a fan for life. That is some amazing guitar playing.

first thing I heard by King Crimson is the first song on the first album: 21st Century Schizoid Man. My little 13 y.o. mind was blown. I began lobbying my mother for money to buy it. I got it for Xmas either in 1969 or 1970.

The consecutive release of fat of the land by prodigy and dig your own hole by the chemical Brothers. I was into music a lot before but these 2 have been landmarks in my musical history.
