For me, OOTC showed he needed them more than BTM or Time showed they needed him. Even on UTS, my favorite songs are the ones with Mick and John. "Down On Rodeo" is pure Fleetwood Mac joy. I wish it would've been on SYW instead of a few other songs.
Christine's departure has hurt them more than anything. In a perfect world (no pun intended), she'd still be there. I'd rather they not tour anymore, get Christine back, and make an album every two years. Actually, they could ditch s*tty Ian & Sylvia, and bring back Billy (who sounds amazing with Christine, IMO). I say that because "Love Shines" from the box set makes me wish Mick, John, Chris, and Billy would've done a whole album with Patrick Leonard producing. I think that's the best post-Tusk song the band's done to date, and Lindsey and Stevie weren't on it. The days of big hit records are over (industry wide, that is), so they might as well do it just for fun. Ditch the overplayed drama. Isn't it weird that the two people who actually got divorced are able to still be friends without any drama?
