BBC Music Magazine recently ranked the 25 greatest frontwomen in rock history, and the Fleetwood Mac icon claimed the No. 1 spot. The honor is the latest accolade for NIcks, whom Rolling Stone once famously dubbed the "Queen of Rock and Roll."
The magazine praised Nicks' distinctive voice and stage presence, writing that she could "whisper vulnerability or soar with raw intensity" while making every performance feel like "part ritual, part storytelling, part rock spectacle."
Nicks topped a list filled with legendary performers. Patti Smith finished at No. 2, followed by fellow Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie at No. 3. Courtney Love landed at No. 4, while Janis Joplin rounded out the top five.
The rest of the top 10 included several other influential artists: Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry, Annie Lennox, Liz Fraser and Heart singer Ann Wilson.
"My biggest hope is that I have opened the door due to the fact that there's 22 men who have gone in twice and zero women," Nicks said at the time. "I think that's really a little off balance."
Nicks also spoke about the unique path that allowed her to thrive both with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist. "The fact that I've been able to have these two careers my whole life … has made my life amazing," she told Rolling Stone.
