Agreed. I think the original GOS would have been Lindsey's strongest collection of songs. Period. So I would say SYW, but Tusk is right up there, followed by Rumours. My least favorite periods would be white album and Mirage. In fact, I rarely listen to his white album songs at all, except for Crystal, which, of course, was written by Stevie.

Christine -- as everyone has mentioned, she's very consistent. There are only two songs she's ever written I truly dislike (One More Night and Only Over You). I'd probably rank Tango and Rumours first, and Mirage last, mostly because of the aforementioned Only Over You and Love in Store, which I could take or leave.

Stevie -- Tusk is her best, easily. However, she was really good until 1983. Worst: Tango/Behind the Mask. I haven't listened to When I See You Again, Welcome to the Room..Sara, or any of her BTM material in years.
