A FM Album without Stevie is just a Lindsey solo album

When she came back to the band and was all excited about working with Lindsey, a big to-do was made about how they had written songs together - and all I could think was *groan* - we're gonna get a bunch of Christine McVie songs with none of Chris' soul in them - sterile, technological compositions with Chris' vocals and a bunch of chirping, dinging sounds and overdone guitar.

Good songs though they may be, Christine's essence is completely swallowed up by Lindsey's when they work together.

Sorry, I really dont get what you are trying to say. Strip Stevie's songs and you are left with Lindsey's plus these...

Everywhere
Mystified
Little Lies
Isnt It Midnight
You and I part 2

I can appreciate how the comment applies to You and I part 2....but the rest? really? I think Lindsey did a stunning job to enhance those songs and elevate them to true greatness. Even Mystified (which is otherwise a fairly feeble song) is polished and turned into something of beauty. The essence of those songs is still Christine McVie even though they have his signature touches and fit in with the sonic experience of Lindsey's songs. Credit where credit is due...a great job Lindsey.
