Importance of Stevie versus Lindsey

I haven't really commented on this before, but I finally will.

Whenever you list Lindsey's sins, you always place among them as one of the worst the fact that the album he and Christine McVie made together, on which Mick and John appeared, was not called a Fleetwood Mac album. You have presented this, time and time again, as something appalling - in this case, characterizing it as a move that "ruined their legacy."

Of course, you have every right to your opinion.

However, I find this quite puzzling, frankly.

Stevie Nicks was in the band at the time. Stevie Nicks did not appear on the album. Calling it a Fleetwood Mac album, therefore, would have been inaccurate and false advertising... because... It was not actually a Fleetwood Mac album.

I just scratch my head every time I see you declare your outrage over this.
