Interesting points. My thoughts:
1) Say You Will is better than Buckingham/McVie (both are still enjoyable listens)
Well I choice B/M as better than SYW, just from a "what do I enjoy the most" point of view (I mean I'm not a music pro just a mortal die hard fan)
2) Buckingham's Mirage songs are better than Nicks' and only slightly better than McVie's (despite the inclusion of "Oh Diane")
I'd say it's a tie.
3) With the exception of "Edge of Seventeen", "Leather and Lace", and "Stop Dragging My Heart Around", Bella Donna is rather generic and boring.
Can't comment cause I'm not enough fan of any solo work of FM members, so I don't usually listen whole solo albums. The only entire album I do enjoy is Out of the Craddle (and sometimes In the Meantime).
4) The music of Fleetwood Mac is more interesting than the personal drama
Of course! far more interesting, enjoyable, etc.! Though I agree when I read Stevie and Mick destroyed the band, the legacy, the farewell etc etc, I'm so tired of reading insults and sarcasms to those two. But I'm never saturated of listening the music of Fleetwood Mac.
5) Christine's voice on the pre-Penguin material is relatively difficult to listen to (although the songs themselves are fine).
I usually listen Rumours lineup albums so I've to review her previous songs
6) I love Mick Fleetwood's vest solo.
I liked his Tango tour performance but it's the only one I've seen, and just in video.
