Wouldnt it be really great it was similar to stuff like the Killers or Stereophonics or Oasis, sort of that Indie Rock n Roll music. I would be 100%confident that if it appealed to the 16 - 30 age group who are all in to that sort of stuff it would go straight to No:1.
This age group in general arent very familiar with lindsey and I really think he should introduce himself to them.
I remember hearing him say do the destiny rules DVD " We'll show them punks" Well i dont think SYW really showed them.

I always believe that Lindsey will appeal to that age group and sell crap loads of records and have people notice him and think he's wonderful, but it seems that typically kids/young adults (not all I realize) have a problem liking/listening to someone over 35 unless it's someone culturally huge like Zepplin, Beatles, Stones, U2 etc... It also takes some damn good publicity behind you which honestly, Lindsey hasn't gotten. (Take a look at Paul McCartney's recent situation/Starbucks deal. Excellent album, excellent publicity, debuted at No.3...still sitting in the top 30) Hardly anyone knew UTS was released. But I certainly agree with you that Lindsey needs to introduce himself to that age bracket. I always wish I could mention Lindsey Buckingham without tacking on "guitarist for Fleetwood Mac" because to me he's so much more than that but now I'm getting a problem of people not giving a crap about FM too. But, that's the hand that's he's been dealt career wise. I don't know about hitting number 1, but I think he would definitely make a load of new fans especially if he shows his chops off a little bit more in this next album.
As far as SYW went...I thought their live tour did his statement "Let's show these young punks..." justice. (This is just my opinion.) Lindsey dominated that tour with the press it seemed. He wow-ed everyone. They totally kicked ass on stage and Lindsey seemed to really make people sit up and take notice of his skills once again.
