This guy calls it what it is. Though he did a poor job of actually addressing the reissues, he had it right on Lindsey's influence.

Yea, but LB had to have SN's and CM's material to work with before he could produce greatness and more importantly hit singles. After all, hit singles are the reason FM was allowed to continue recording, etc. In other words, if FM and Rumors failed to produce any hit singles (SN and Chris had six (Rhiannon, Over My Head, Say You love Me, Don't Stop, Dreams, YMLF) to LB's one (GYOW), then the record company would never have spent the money to produce Tusk. But, then again, these six hit singles would have not been the same without LB's production and certainly SN and CN contributed some to GYOW. So, I see it as a band effort to be credited and singling one person far ahead of the others is not fair. So, I say LB certainly should be credited as producer and a brilliant one at that, but SN, CM, JM, and MF certainly provided fuel for the fire and deserve a ton of credit for that
