And her presence on Rumours and Tusk.. brilliant... (Nicks)..

I wish McVie and Nicks would have collaborated a little more...

Your opinion.. at least by me... respected ..
I totally hear what your saying....hold no ill wills to Christine or Lindsey.....they deserved the spot light just as much as Stevie did. I guess I'm just saying as a cohesive whole its not a total 'band' lp. Unfortunately , with Stevie (& with any star that is...) what goes up must come down. I guess that could be said of Mac too. I guess another thing that bothers me with the Tango LP/cd is that Lindsey didn't tour with this LP. Of course , it was his right to leave. I think it would've been much better if he'd have followed through and tour for it as well. I mean he wrote most of the songs for it (& Christine too). Since Stevie was non-exsistent. I do understand why (that is Lindsey) felt the way he did....but she was part of the band and she should've been part of some of the decisions for it as well. I sometimes wonder if the tables had been turned & it had been Lindsey in rehab...would he have liked others making all the decisions for him or cutting him out of the recordings...the well your not here so you can't say what goes on your song or how its done type of thing. Sorry this isn't a exact quote...I'm only going from memory that is. If someone knows what he really said please let me know. No offence anyone....if you love Tango by all means love it totally. I guess I just think it could've been a more 'band' lp....& well maybe not so 'techno' either......just some thoughts....
Thanks for respecting my opinion...as I do yours & all that have written in this thread & in many others.....
