They gave the band it's name!!!
But, if this EP will come out I hope it's going to be a "warm up" to a full album.

It also works in reverse. Compare "Crystal" or "Don't Let Me Down Again" from Buckingham Nicks to the Fleetwood Mac versions of those songs. While there's similarity, one is clearly NOT Fleetwood Mac.

No doubt. As Michele said, John and Mick are far from expendable. They're an extraordinary rhythm section, and leave their impressive stamp on every record.
When it comes down to it, though, I would take Christine if I could. Mick and John's absence would leave a massive, gaping hole, but perhaps not the crater Christine's absence created in SYW. Mileage will vary.
