Hmmm....

I don't think the white album represents his best work. "I'm So Afraid" is MUCH better live. "Blue Letter" is my favorite of his on the album, but he didn't write it, so.... Of course, his songs are Rumours are perfect. I think "Go Your Own Way" is their only "hit" I've never grown tired of, at one point or another. I could listen to that song 1000 times in a row, and it would still sound fresh to me.

I love and appreciate all of Lindsey's songs on Tusk. They're his most interesting batch of songs.

I don't think his songs on Mirage are as bad as some seem to think. "Empire State" isn't a favorite, but I like the rest. Even "Oh Diane."

I've always been partial to Tango. "Big Love" and the title track are great. "Caroline" has insipid lyrics, but I love the music and energy.

Lindsey's songs on SYW are much stronger than Stevie's, IMO. Lyrically, they're definitely among his best (I think "Peacekeeper" and "Red Rover" are especially poetic).

So I'm gong with SYW and Tusk. Rumours and Tango are very, very close.
