I don't think ANYONE would disagree with you on this one. SYW would have been so much better with Christine. No brainer there. Although I am a selfish Christine fan and love In The Meantime so much that I would not want to change the destiny of that album.
I completely understand why Lindsey gave Christine a choice. You cant come and go from the band. You cant have one foot in and one foot out of the band. Being in the band requires touring so you must be there for that. Its completely realistic for a band to do. Otherwise the road act is not the real deal and missing parts.
How I wish FM held Stevie's feet to the fire like they did with Christine. The situation is in reverse. Stevie did not want to record with the band but wants to tour with the band.
