How in the hell are you not grasping the question as to whether or not CHRISTINE sang on any of LINDSEY’S songs on LBCM?
That’s the entire premise of this thread. Aside from SYW (and “Eyes of the World”), Lindsey didn’t have the girls sing on his songs after “Rumours.” |

“Red Sun” is a CHRISTINE vocal, so that doesn’t answer the very simple question as to whether or not Christine sang or played on any of the songs LINDSEY sang lead vocals on, but I suspect you’re intentionally being an obtuse pain in the ass instead of actually answering a simple question. |

Red Sun was originally a Lindsey song. Christine added lyrics to his music. she is singing a lead on his song. which part of that is so hard to understand? you are arguing how somehow he is not "letting" her sing a backup on his songs - meanwhile he is not only "letting her" sing back up but she is singing lead on his song. Red Sun alone shoots down your whole premise. i understand you don't like it, but there it is. you know - collaboration. :):woohoo: |

However, HIS songs (as opposed to THEIR songs), the ones he sang lead on, weren’t collaborations. Did Christine sing on THOSE? |

To my ears, Christine sings on the chorus of Love Is Here to Stay, On With the Show, and Lay Down for Free. |
I guess the reason Lindsey insisted on filling FM albums with his own solo work (that nobody wanted to hear) is his failed solo career and jealousy of Stevie's success. It was always his way of asserting himself and "getting even". It hurt the band as a number of cuts on albums were unlistenable to the majority of fans, and caused the group to basically stop recording at all as Stevie just shut down any efforts to try again.

Yes, for the record, I absolutely would criticize a man for intentionally being an obtuse pain in the ass if he was intentionally being an obtuse pain in ass. It was obvious what the initial question was and Elle kept intentionally dodging it by bringing up irrelevant examples, going to great lengths to not answer the question or simply say she didn’t know.

Also being fair, I agree with you that Lindsey's Fleetwood Mac songs would have benefited by including more of Christine and Stevie's voices over the years. This particular group of 5 has always been better together than any one of the individuals on their own. They all brought some critical ingredient to the pot that made those first albums fire. And yes, that includes Stevie. She's become an insufferable shrew and her crap over the last two decades have resulted in a creative permafrost on the band culminating in her getting Lindsey fired and then going out with a ridiculous, unnecessary, and nonsensical version of the band in 2018-19. However, her input and presence was key to their achievements over the years. |

If Red Sun even was a Lindsey song, he probably gave the lead to Christine so the album would be split 50/50. That's really not my point.
ALL of Christine's leads on BuckVie have Lindsey on them. If Chris is on Lindsey's leads, it is very hard to make out and could easily be him putting his voice through effects, which is what he preferred to do for the MAJORITY of his 'band contributions' post Rumours. Fact. I love loads of Lindsey's stuff post Rumours. Tusk is my favourite Mac album. But it doesn't stop my feeling that his songs would've been elevated more if he had actually allowed other people on them, in the spirit of, you know, this band he was in. I don't know the reason for it, but it comes across as selfish. I mean, Stevie was sat in the studio for Tusk and Mirage for hours doing f*ck all. He could've actually used her. |
