Instead of Sheryl.....
 

what other female would you want to join up with them.

Joni Mitchell (why do I think this would work? imagine the possibilities!!!!)
Chrissie Hynde
Debbie Harry
Patti Smith
Gwenyth Paltrow (I know...I'm crazy...but I like her voice)

and last but not least

CHRISTINE MCVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again) please please please please pleas please please please please

Well, I'm not saying that she would go with Fleetwood Mac at all. But I know I like Sarah McLachlan's sound soooo much. And Stevie likes her too. So, she would be my choice. To me, she's not really exciting live, but when I think of her songs, I could so get into Lindsey performing on them. I moan with the possibilities there.

I forgot Laurie Anderson

This woman has always been my dream "replacement":

That's really just making me think of awesome Joni/Lindsey duets of "Big Yellow Taxi"!

This major talent of the 1970s would make an excellent fit with Fleetwood Mac now.



And look! You even get a Hohner pianet, a clavinet & a Yamaha CP70 thrown in for good measure! :thumbsup:

But she refuses to join Fleetwood Mac without Daryl Dragon. It's a package deal.

Don't you just love the way the audience is cued to applaud when she starts singing -- as if no one recognized that intro (just about the most recognizable intro in pop)? :rolleyes:

I don't think I've *ever* been that happy. ;)

Love his stone face!

Love the back-up singers.

One problem. Joni and Christine are RETIRED. Both are basically done, save for little things on the side every few years, maybe. Look, there's no way in hell Sheryl Crow would be joining the band if Christine hadn't RETIRED. As for Debbie, Chrissie, and Patti, I don't think any of those would be good fits. They're too CBGBs (for lack of a better term), which is not a bad thing, but it would really be appropriate for Fleetwood Mac's needs. Mick and John are the wheels, Lindsey is the brains, Stevie is the mystique. What is needed is the unabashed pop writer. Christine was bubble gum at it's finest, and Sheryl is pretty darn good bubble gum, too.

Here's something to think about. How would most people feel about Christine being in Fleetwood Mac if all they knew of her was her 1984 album? That was a good album, but it had a feel that was pretty different from Fleetwood Mac. It's not a good representation as to how she sounds with Fleetwood Mac (which is really the whole point of a solo album). I could say the same about Lindsey and Stevie too. I think Sheryl deserves the benefit of the doubt on this.

That would be my choice and yes I know it's never going to happen but I am in denial about it.

If it's not Christine my second choice would be no-one.

I am curious - do you see the addition of another female as a conscious or de facto replacement for CM? Or, do you see it as a move in another direction with nothing to do with replacing CM though both play the keyboards and share the same gender?

I think they are not in any way trying to replace or be disrespectful to CM.

I also think the CM fans are having trouble making this distinction.

In the end, FM has always changed members. To me, this is no different.

Tone - respectful :D

That back-up singer in the blue has to be Toni's sister. They look like identical twins.

Never say never. I miss Christine so much. I have been listening to her music alot these days.
