Stevie is by far my favorite member of Fleetwood Mac. If she left, I might still buy their records but my interest would be greatly diminished. I'd still think they're "Fleetwood Mac" though, especially considering how many personnel changes the band has been through.
I totally understand why those that prefer Christine would have less interest in the group now, and I also understand why people prefer the Rumours-era line-up. There's definitely something special about that mix of 5 people. But ultimately Fleetwood Mac is Fleetwood Mac as long as Mick and John are the core, and it seems like Christine can't be coaxed back out. I keep hoping though that the band may yet record with her, and then Mick/John/Stevie/Lindsey can go out on the road without her.
