Now, Stevie's and Lindsey's songs in the live set will be even more set in stone with no additional goodies thrown in. It will be Rhiannon, Landslide, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Gypsy, Stand Back, and I'm So Afraid, Second Hand News, Never Going Back Again, Go Your Own Way, Tusk, and Big Love, and nothing else. Instead of anything else from them, there will be five or six of the "Polyanna", "I'm so in love and life is perfect and nothing is ever wrong and I'm basking in the afterglow" songs. Ugh. I saw Christine in 1982, 1987, 1990, and 1997, and multiple times on each of those tours, so I'm good.

I'm only talking about me here, I am not trying to open a can of worms. I happen to need angst in my music. But that's just me; we all listen for our own reasons. And we all have the band members and songwriters that we prefer.

Count me as two...

And first I would just like to say that it's pretty unfair of a certain person to say that Stevie can't be mentioned in this discussion because it's about "Christine returning to the band" and that they are tired about people talking about her (Stevie) but they don't seem to have an issue with people talking about Lindsey or his solo career in this thread and because of this persons position at "The Ledge" they are supposed to be fair and impartial...

As seekerj said "We all have the band members and songwriters that we prefer"...My preference is 1) Stevie Nicks. 2) Buckingham/Nicks. 3) Lindsey Buckingham. 4) Christine McVie.

Christine's possible return to FM affects everyone in the band and it will have more of an impact on some members than others...If Stevie, Lindsey, Mick and John have had a band meeting and decided that they want CM back in the band then why don't they just say so...I have a hard time believing that if Chris was back in the band that Mick would be able to keep his big mouth shut about it...

As far as Stevie goes (and this is where I have a problem with CM returning) Chris' all of the sudden wanting back in the band will have a big impact on Stevie's career...Stevie has spent the last few years busting her butt to be where she is right now...She's more well known and popular now than she has been in quite a while and FM is benefitting from her success as well...Sorry but I don't think it's right that Stevie has spent years building up her career so she can end on a high note and then Christine comes along and decides she wants to cash in on Stevie's & FM's recent popularity

Personally I'm looking forward to another solo album from Stevie and hopefully something from "Buckingham/Nicks" but now that it looks like Christine is selfishly going to throw a wrench in Stevie's works we might not get either...
