Standards change and stuff, good argument, but wasn't that song played (Or OVERplayed-not that I get sick of hearing it) *just* as much back then? Radio stations loved that single, it might in fact be thee most "commercial" thing he's ever done. They didn't play much of anything out of the ordinary til much later. (aside from the moron who released the whole 'Tusk Album' pre-release on air) Majority were stickler for soft-rock formula, so tell me, how do you get the 'unorthodox'? Because if you're talking just about the obsession over the production (over production, perfect production).. then... yyyyeah.
Most musicians probably didn't need to stay in the studio that long for a single like that. Many weren't perfectionists and/or already so well-established they can get anything on air
Not to say it's not my fav song of his
