Usually people enjoy these kind of topics. It's just that a lot of people are really sad about Lindsey leaving, and as a result some of them may perceive this topic negatively.

Personally, when I don't care about a topic, I simply scroll past it.

Same here. I don't agree with a whole lot of you. And that's ok. I just don't take it personally if someone doesn't like John, Chris, Stevie etc...

I just keep reading and skip over stuff I'm not interested in reading. :thumbsup:

For what its worth (and that's not a suggestion) there are some great lists on this thread so far. Except I'd find a place for Show Me a Smile and Love Shines.

But Love Shines was a co-write with Eddy Quintela, so it doesn't fit with the request of the original poster.
It's been more difficult than I thought to compile this list for this reason, I had to edit it more than once because I kept forgetting that many of those songs I had initially picked were co-writed or shared lead vocals, so the majority of Christine's songs after her marriage with Eddy Quintela aren't usable.

Hmmm, well that's the official line you'll read on the liner notes, but...

In no particular order.

Stevie:
Sable On Blonde
That's Alright
Freedom
Silver Girl
No Questions Asked
Gypsy
Blue Lamp
I Will Run To You
Blue Denim

Christine:
The Challenge
Little Lies
Heart Of Stone
Why
Behind The Mask
Hold Me
Save Me
Skies The Limit

McLamb, what do you think of Brown Eyes? I noticed it didn't make your list and I was just curious.

Oh, so this piqued my interest. From my reading, Christine has been very reluctant to say much about the demise of that relationship, but was that part of it? Him latching onto her songwriting and taking credit? I feel like I saw that somewhere or it was implied from remarks she's made? Any info on this -- greatly appreciated!

IIRC, in either a thread about the Buck/Vie album or the Tango Deluxe Edition, there is a link to an interview with Christine where she really downplayed Eddy's part in cowriting her songs. I found that interesting because, to me, songs like Save Me, Little Lies, and Isn't It Midnight really do seem lyrically different from her previous songs. They seem, I'm not sure what the word is, maybe stronger or less peppy. They have more depth, I feel, than You Make Loving Fun or Love in Store. Having said that, Carnival Begin certainly has a depth her earlier songs lacked, so maybe Eddy was more of an inspiration to her than an actual cowriter. Anyway, sorry I can't direct you to the specific interview where she spoke about it, but I'm certain it was a link on this message board.

As you say, she hasn't said much about the divorce. In fact, there isn't a great deal known about their marriage in general. Eddy was a musician and songwriter before he met Christine, but obviously he didn't do anything of note. It doesn't seem as if he's done anything of note after the divorce either. As bwboy says, I do remember a recent (ish) interview in which she made some sort of dismissive comment. I think an interviewer mentioned her songwriting partnership with her ex-husband and she said something like 'The less said about that the better' (or something along those lines).
The only difference in her Eddy-era songs is she leaned even more on the hook of the songs. This led to some big hits but in some cases to the detriment of the overall emotional feeling of the songs. I cant imagine Eddy had that much of an input her music. Christine doesn't really need to write with anyone else but I think she feels the need to have somebody else as a crutch for reassurance.

I cant remember what the interview was in which she made a brief comment- was it one of the ones on BBC Radio 2 with Ken Bruce?

Thanks to you both! :thumbsup:
