I've noticed this for a very long time, but didn't want to bring it up because i figured it would start another war. I just never understood why you could hear Lindsey on almost every song, but Chris and Stevie are noticeably not on almost every song. Now, of course it might not be such a great idea to have total three part harmony on every song. The thing that gets to me is that you very, VERY rarely hear Christine singing with Stevie and vice versa. They have little snippets in some of the other's songs, but they don't have even one song I don't think that is like a duet. Really, the only reason I can think of that wouldn't condemn any of the members is that, perhaps, Lindsey is on more songs because he was the only guy to throw in that sort of "masculine" voice (and I put masculine in "s because his voice is rather high for a guy). But since there were two girls, if you really only want one harmony on a song, you have to choose between the two, hence they get half the time Lindsey would get. But considering this IS Fleetwood Mac, I think there might be more nefarious reasons.
Trying to carry my bias away (which is impossible), I don't understand why they wouldn't have Stevie sing more since she doesn't play an instrument in the band. I mean, if she is the lead singer (well, front-person is a better word for her I guess), then I'd think she would be EXPECTED to do more. I guess not.
