I have to say though, that I still think we need to do something about "Fleetwood Mac #12."
Which, in my opinion should include Christine with some kind of "studio only" notation.
I also think that #12 should *not* include Steve Thoma, as he was never an official member of the band... only a touring one... and listing him could be misleading.
Also, perhaps lineup #13 should go up to February 1998, instead of December 1997, as Christine was still a part of the band for the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, Brit Awards, and Grammy Awards performances.
Though to be an absolute stickler, Christine's departure wasn't necessarily "official" until the current four played at the going-away party for Bill Clinton, at the White House on January 6th, 2001... thus deciding that they could go on without Christine.
Just suggestions.

If you're looking at the late additions near the end of the page, then yes, Steve Thoma is there, but we've since changed our minds on that one. As a general rule, you can check the big tree for the most up to date info.
Point taken on FM #13, so we can go Mar '97 to Dec '00, right? I bet a lot of money they called her up for the White House gig and she declined.
In terms of the 'core 6', I'd tend to agree that the backup singers are slightly less important than the main musicians. I'd stick with a general rule of Stevie, drums, bass, lead guitar, keyboards, and take your pick on the last, maybe another guitar. And, yes, I did break my own guideline with the Seven Souls, but it would've looked quite odd to have a band by that name with less than seven people in it.
One quick note: Stevie's solo endeavors, as well as everyone else's, and post-Mac stuff, would logistically have to go onto another tree - the Part 2 of this whole project. So I think for now it would be a good idea to hold off on any post or during FM stuff, until the part 1 is done and hopefully done something with. Ahem, Marty?
I checked Bekka's official bio, and really all she did before FM was MF's Zoo, so that certainly makes things easy for her. I'll finish that up today and maybe do a little of Rick.
