But I'm a big Lindsey Buckingham fan, saw him on tour last year. The man is a genius.

Buckingham is my particular favorite member, which is why I enjoy the album so much, but I think Tusk contains each member's true masterpiece. Buckingham has "Save Me A Place," McVie has "Brown Eyes," and Nicks has "Storms."
As for Sheryl Crow, I suppose it's an interesting turn of events, but it's nothing that particularly floats my boat. The Mac itself has turned into a pathetic nostalgia band in recent years, especially Stevie Nicks (her solo concerts have been absolutely painful these past few years; want to change up the setlist one of these years, bb?), so while I may have reservations, maybe her addition will re-energize them in some way.
Though, to be perfectly frank, the Mac can stay disbanded if that means we get more solo Buckingham. His last tour and album were both incredible. But Mick needs an extra source of income other than his wines at Costco, so...

one thing that works about the Sheryl addition is the fact she's not THAT young either. She's in her mid-40's, while she is over a decade younger than the other four, she's much closer to their age bracket, and would assimilate to the band a lot better than a 25 year old (think 17 year old Wolfgang touring with his dad).

If an entirely different band had recorded Tusk, I think you'd enjoy it much more.

Interesting news, but as much as I love FM and all the solo stuff (well, for the most part..), this news doesn't excite me at all. I'll buy any album for sure, but heck, I'd take Bekka back before this. 
Or bring in Lola Thomas back from obscurity! Those, I'd be excited about.

Those who aren't excited about Sheryl Crow joining, have you heard her and Stevie singing together? It's absolutely flawless.

Apparently Ms. Crow was a bit too ahead of herself:

I still hope they can get it together, I would be very interested to see some new material with Buckingham, Crow, and Nicks!
Fleetwood Mac surprised by Sheryl Crow claim By Gary Graff
Tue Mar 25, 6:25 PM ET
Sheryl Crow's recent claim that she would be working with Fleetwood Mac surprised a lot of people -- including the members of the classic rock group.
Crow, 46, who's friendly with Mac's Stevie Nicks, told the AOL music website Spinner.com earlier this month that she and the band "definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we'll see what happens."
"I think we were all a little surprised (Crow) was announcing that to the world with such certainty," Fleetwood Mac principal Lindsey Buckingham, 58, told Billboard.com with a laugh.
"We have talked about the possibility of bringing another woman into the scene to kind of give Stevie a sort of foil and shake it up a little bit. (Crow) was certainly a name that has come up. We'll have to see."
Nicks, 59, has been the group's sole female member since Christine McVie, now 64, retired from the band in the late '90s.
Buckingham said the group, which last toured in 2004, is considering returning to the road in the first half of 2009, possibly with some new material. He said that he has "a ton of new stuff" that could be used for a new Fleetwood Mac album, its first since 2003's "Say You Will."
Buckingham -- who's just released a new concert DVD, "Live at the Bass Performance Hall," from his 2006-07 solo tour -- is also planning another solo album for this summer.
Recorded with members of his touring band as well as Fleetwood Mac co-founders Mick Fleetwood, 60, and John McVie, 62, he said it "has a little more of a rock feel to it" than his most recent effort, 2006's "Under the Skin."
"It's just another group of tunes that hopefully will translate to stage, and hopefully we can get some more (solo) dates this summer."

Seriously, did anyone think that she was about the same age as Paul McCartney? I sure didn't.

As did Lance Armstrong.
