CHRISTINE MCVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again) please please please please pleas please please please please
One problem. Joni and Christine are RETIRED. Both are basically done, save for little things on the side every few years, maybe. Look, there's no way in hell Sheryl Crow would be joining the band if Christine hadn't RETIRED. As for Debbie, Chrissie, and Patti, I don't think any of those would be good fits. They're too CBGBs (for lack of a better term), which is not a bad thing, but it would really be appropriate for Fleetwood Mac's needs. Mick and John are the wheels, Lindsey is the brains, Stevie is the mystique. What is needed is the unabashed pop writer. Christine was bubble gum at it's finest, and Sheryl is pretty darn good bubble gum, too.

Here's something to think about. How would most people feel about Christine being in Fleetwood Mac if all they knew of her was her 1984 album? That was a good album, but it had a feel that was pretty different from Fleetwood Mac. It's not a good representation as to how she sounds with Fleetwood Mac (which is really the whole point of a solo album). I could say the same about Lindsey and Stevie too. I think Sheryl deserves the benefit of the doubt on this.
