Without Chris, FM is not FM, to me.

I agree that FM these days is... something different. Christine was what unified the radically different people, and made the band cohesive and enjoyable. To me, the history of FM began when Christine joined, and essentially ended when she left. She WAS the sound of Fleetwood Mac. Just as Stevie is undeniably the face. I wanted to like SYW very much, because I'm such a fan of Buckingham and Nicks. But the band is just not the same without Christine's counterpoint. The formula has been tampered with, and the magic has evaporated. Granted, there were some solid songs on SYW... but they could have been SO much better with Christine's touch.
