Without Christine, there's no one to soften the chasm between Stevie and Lindsey (musically and drama wise). You're also missing the pop element that made the band so popular. And you're missing 1/3 of the voices that made Fleetwood Mac's harmonies world famous.

When Stevie was gone, you lost all the passion and drama that people so loved about the band. People just don't give a damn about Fleetwood Mac without her.

It was the combination of the 5 most unlikely people that made the band so special. I don't like a single one of them being gone. For me, I suppose the lesser of the evils is Christine being gone. Lindsey is an absolutely essential creative force, and Stevie's emotive presence also sets the band apart. Christine was the bridge between the two obviously. But Stevie and Lindsey are the stars. You really can't lose either of them.
You have been spot on lately.
