Bravo!!! Fleetwood Mac is her career! She IS Fleetwood Mac.

That's overstating things a bit, isn't it? We know how you react to statements like that about Stevie.

although i'd say in the UK, CM easily may be [the rumours era FM]. i've been to some UK shows last year. they played FM in the bar next to the venue after the show. you know which songs they played? almost none of them that were a part of last years concert: Everywhere, Little Lies, Say You Love Me... and GYOW thrown in for some good measure.

It's an overstatement, but not as much as one would think. She was a session player during the Peter Green days and she was argueably the most visible member of the band from 1970-74. Being a woman in a band like Fleetwood Mac back then was a rarity. Of course it has to be noted that during the heyday, she had two singles per album on the band's three biggest sellers. In fact she had nine Top 40 songs in the USA with Fleetwood Mac, compared to five from Stevie and three from Lindsey.

I DID NOT bring up anyone other than Christine. You did. Glad you feel the truth to be threatening to someone else. Who is dead to me, btw!

It isn't the truth the Chris IS Fleetwood Mac, just as it's not true that Stevie is. They're part of a band, and they both bring something to it.

I disagree. To equate Christine's importance to Fleetwood Mac to Stevie's is absurd. Christine is on all but two albums and an EP and has nine out 17 of Fleetwood Mac's top 40 singles. Stevie has only been on seven Fleetwood Mac albums and an EP and only had five top 40 singles with Fleetwood Mac. Stevie has the bigger name and the bigger solo career, but Christine is the face and the voice of Fleetwood Mac.

Steve, on the Ledge(and every forum, to be fair), the sun will ALWAYS rise and shine out of Stevie's "once coked up"...backside, and it always will.

Fairy dust, and glitter and GIANT unicorns , and crap like that.
