People always celebrated the Buckingham/Nicks aspect of FMac, but rarely 
spoke of how well Lindsay and Christine worked, particularly how well they 
sung together. There are quite a few great examples of them combining, 
'Don't Stop', 'Think About Me' and 'Hold Me' being great exampes. A very 
pure blend of 2 very talented singers.

A short story if you'll indulge me. I remember my reaction when i heard the 
backing vocals in 'Love IN Store' for the first time. I was about 16, at my 
favourite record store, and the album had literally just come in. I went to 
this record store EVERY day after school. He'd just opened the box as i 
walked in the door, and the needle dropped... when it got to the backing 
vocals, Lindsay and Stevie blending doing the 'instead of bringing me down', 
i almost physically fell over, and i have the same reaction almost every 
time i hear that song. And i can remember being fixated by the videos for 
Hold Me and Gypsy... i taped them off the TV and watched them constantly. 
They were so cool back in those days..
