Absolutely agree with this! I've noticed the same thing with Silver Springs after Chris left. Compare the 2003 (through now, really) versions to the 1997 versions with Chris' playing - it's incredibly sterile and generic sounding.
Billy and Rick playing and singing on Go Your Own Way is similarly lacking in the same way. The whole mood of the song was shifted and not only because of the voices!
