And record a new song...

That is not a Fleetwood Mac song. Mick and John are not on it. That song is equivalent to "That's What Friends Are For." It's a guest feature; it's Neil's song.

You have no precedent to use for a Neil/Mike FM sound because Fleetwood and Mac aren't on Find Your Way.

You'd need Mick and John with Mike and Neil on a new composition to call it Fleetwood Mac.

Are Soldier's Angel and I Miss You a Fleetwood Mac song?

Didn’t say that was a Fleetwood Mac song. My point was “functioning band.” Stevie was agreeable to recording with Neil Finn, who was the only one she hadn’t recorded with before. She couldn’t be clearer that it wasn’t happening again with Lindsey after EP.

ETA: I put it in the same almost Mac category as Sentimental Lady, Can’t Help Falling In Love, It Ain’t Over, Roll With Me Henry, Twisted, Jeremy Spencer’s first solo album, and LBCM.

But it's not a band project. So it has nothing to do with "functioning band."
That's Neil solo. You're talking about an extra curricular. Because Stevie went to see "Parasite" and ate at Applebee's with Neil on Saturday night, does that make it a "functioning band?

You put it in your category, but that's not gospel, right?

Stevie at Applebees..oh darn, please let’s go there.

How many dollar margaritas would it take for Stevie Nicks to write a new song!?

How many dollar margaritas would it take before Stevie Nicks claims she’s responsible for Prince’s entire fist album and they vacationed together in Italy for 20 years.

You fu*king ROCK.

If the film was playing near me like IYD was, I would go see it. I go out every day and always have, although I take masks and disinfectant very seriously. Also, I like more of the gal’s music than I dislike. I just hope that her remaining years on earth are miserable ones.

No. But then nothing around here is gospel. A song with 2/3 of the band is close enough for me.

Well that speaks for itself.

Perhaps you don't value or honor Mick and John. To consider Find Your Way "close to Mac" is disrespectful to those men because you have no previous recording of a new song with Stevie, Chris, Mike, Neil, Mick and John to base it off of. You have YouTube videos of the lineup doing songs that Mike and Neil did write or participate in the original recording.

I mean to be fair Mick has no shame, he entertained replacing both John and Christine at different points in time. It’s not like they value one another AT ALL

This could turn into a huge philosophical discussion as to what constitutes Fleetwood Mac and what does not.

Like, is “Hypnotized” from Live At The Roxy Fleetwood Mac? Mick and John play on it, Christine is singing backing vocals, and those four were a lineup of Fleetwood Mac.

What about Jeremy’s solo album where he was backed by Mick, John, and Danny and had a cameo from Peter?

What about Christine’s version of “When You Say” with John and Danny?

And, do Mick and John need to be on it to be Fleetwood Mac? Aren’t some of Lindsey’s songs on Tusk and TITN just Lindsey? What about Landslide (which was recorded when they were still Buckingham Nicks), Songbird, The World Keep On Turning? Are Revelation and Keep On Going, which feature Bob Welch on bass, Fleetwood Mac?

He must mean the charity song "Find Your Way Home' by Neil Finn ..it features Stevie and Christine croaking along . A real stretch to call it Fleetwood Mac though.
