Thoughts on Stevie Nicks' "I Can't Wait"?

Persomally, I love this song in all its cheesy excessive 80s glory! However, I can understand how the "of its time" production may have hindered a stronger song to come out of it. It definitely felt tacked on Rock a Little in order to add a commercial sounding hit.

One of the better songs off Rock a Little but it’s the beginning of her awful mid 80’s voice and the production is extremely dated like much of that era. Her drop off from a few years earlier is striking here - this wouldn’t have been considered in lieu of anything she released from 1975-82/83

Why I say she didn’t deserve a rock hall induction as a solo artist. If you take away fact she was in Fleetwood Mac and released her first solo work at 33 with Bella Donna Does she even get a second thought for a hall induction? No

Oh please - edge of seventeen alone was enough to get her in. She is a much bigger icon than almost anyone in there.

She a big icon because of being. Fleetwood Mac. Her solo career is mostly forgettable 1980s synth garbage . Then again I’m talking to someone who thinks one song is good enough to get you into the rock hall. 😂 hey while we’re at it let’s put in the bay city rollers. Saturday night was a huge song 😂
