Speaking of Tango. Big Love is really a Lindsey solo song. I bet even if was released as a song in 1987 as a Lindsey solo song, it would not have charted.
The huge buzz of a reunited Mac put those songs front and center with MTV.
But that's my point and Lindsey's frustration. Unlike Stevie, why do my solo songs never get played. I remember Lindsey making a crack to Rolling Stone in 1982 that his songs on Mirage never get played.
From what I have heard from casual or non-fans, Lindsey's songs post Rumours, solo or with FM, just lack mass appeal. They may try too hard to be catchy or quirky and end up irritating. And he himself lacks the X factor for some reason.
