After all the band doesn't have a label.. so who would sign them without her? the business is cruel, and Stevie seems to know how to work the execs better than LB.
I still think it would be ideal for them to sign with Interscope.. WB sucks in promoting their material!

Define commercially relevant. I think somebody who makes music videos and tours for two years behind an album that still only sells 125,000 is hardly commercially relevant. At least Lindsey understands the equation, the whole small machine thing, and uses his time outside of Fleetwood Mac to pursue creative interest that he wouldn't be able to pursue within Fleetwood Mac.

I think smaller indie labels would be drooling at the opportunity to release the Fleetwood Mac album, especially if Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were on it. Personally, I would like to see them sign with Matador Records.
