Lindsey’s six solo albums sold less than the six albums Fleetwood Mac recorded prior to his involvement, and that’s after Rumours and after he had three Top Ten songs. His highest charting solo album, L&O, peaked at #32 while HAHTF peaked at #34 and BTM #18. Meanwhile, Bella Donna outsold Tusk and Mirage. Mick could legitimately say that Lindsey never had a Top Ten hit without him.
And, in 2017, LBCM was playing 4,000 seat amphitheaters while Stevie was packing 20,000 seat arenas.

Lindsey's contributions to Fleetwood Mac and the impact upon the band's success has nothing to do with his solo career. The fact is that the band lacked the same degree of success during the years he wasn't in it. The members of Fleetwood Mac were not removed from Lindsey's solo orbit so the comparison is ridiculous.
And for the love of God, Stevie only "sold out" 20k seats in 2017 because of The Pretenders. She was never selling out arenas on her own in 2017.
Your ability to contort every single piece of data to fit some ridiculous anti-Lindsey, pro-Stevie position is really uncanny.
This fivesome is better together. They were in 1975....1982...1997...2014...you name the year, when these five get together, they make each other better.
