Brown Eyes, Over and Over, Think About Me, Never Forget, Honey Hi….all gorgeous songs. Even Never Make Me Cry was sweet, if a little under-cooked.
I certainly wouldn’t consider her contributions to be inferior to Lindsey’s.

Her
Tusk offerings are incredibly strong. "Never Forget" is a very underrated gem and I've been listening a lot to "Never Make Me Cry" recently.
In terms of my picks, I would probably go with
Heroes Are Hard to Find first followed by
Mystery to Me. In fact, my top four favorite songs on
Heroes Are Hard to Find are probably all Christine McVie songs. The title track is a peppy tune with infectious horn licks, "Come A Little Bit Closer" is one of her best ballads, "Bad Loser" is one of the few angry songs in her discography and possesses an incessant tribal tom-tom beat, and "Prove Your Love" is an understated slow-burner.
Surprisingly, I actually think
Rumours might be the album with Christine's McVie's worst collective body of work. Of her four offerings (not counting "The Chain") "You Make Loving Fun" is the only one of hers that I really enjoy from her. The remaining tracks, while by no means bad, are ones that I'm most likely to skip, particularly "Songbird".
