Lindsey Buckingham: Trouble (Official Music Video, 1981)

Post-Fleetwood, none of the three stars were actually great. 

Nicks became an icon, but her solo albums are not that good. (Aside from her duets, 

there are arguably only about 2 really good songs per album.)

Buckingham had the most raw talent, but he never capitalized on it. 

(He's good-looking and can write a song, but has little charisma and little sense of the 

Big Picture---I'm still amazed at how utterly bad "Tusk" was under his control, 

and at how he didn't come on strong with this debut album.)

McVie and her easy-going, well-written hits about good and bad relationships 

disappeared after Fleetwood.

 

In bands, great art needs the irritation/agitation/competition.
Witness John Lennon after splitting with McCartney: 

Lennon was interesting in 1970 and 1971 with "Plastic Ono" and "Imagine"

and then he basically disappeared. 1974's "Walls and Bridges" was a nice, raw confessional 

interim album. And then he REALLY disappeared for the next 5 years.
(If Yoko was so stimulating, then why didn't he create more during his 12 years with her?)

Sorry, I digress. Here's Buckingham with his first cute solo single and video, made just for MTV.
