Considering Stevie had just come off a #1 Platinum album they sure don't like using her on Mirage... 3 songs and 1 backing vocal.

Mirage:

Straight Back - what a vocal. Amazing song. Harmonies. Everything. Should've been a Bond theme.
That's Alright - love the country tinge, great vocal.
Hold Me - catchy, light, pop. Wish Stevie was on it.
Gypsy - obviously a great song, I prefer the Dance version as I find Stevie's studio vocal, especially at the beginning of the song, quite weak.
Love In Store - love the backing vocals. How great to have the 3 of them together.
Eyes of the World - great live and a lot of fun.
Can't Go Back - honestly don't mind this, but Stevie and Christine could easily have done the 'Can't Go Back' backing vocals.
Wish You Were Here - piano at the start sounds like Silver Springs. Nice song.
Book of Love - not a bad song, again, backing vocals could've been done by the ladies.
Only Over You - not unpleasant but the barrel being lightly scraped here.
Oh Diane - approaching terrible. Slightly catchy.
Empire State - terrible.


Lindsey really didn't deliver in terms of songs on this album. But he was still aloud to stop anyone else from singing on them.

Oh Daddy is some of the best music Fleetwood Mac have ever recorded.
