Who had the biggest impact???
The truth is, probably neither band would have sufficiently made enough waves. But of the two, who would have garnered more success?
I genuinely don't know. Depends on the other guitarist I guess.

The problem with your scenario is Lindsey actually produced Fleetwood Mac. He made them stars. He took crappy demos like Gypsy, Dreams, Sara and turned them into hits. It’s not debatable who is the bigger talent. Stevie got to work with great producers because Lindsey made her star.
Her stardom got into the bands way. She made the band toxic. He would of never left in 1987 if it wasn’t for her.
