I didn't realize that -- and I didn't mean to sound like I was questioning your right to be called a fan. It's just been my impression that, even when we're discussing early-Stevie, you seem somewhat dismissive of her talents. Certainly I knew you liked her to some degree, but I figured it was more incidental than anything (ie: moreso through her work with Buckingham or Petty or Egan, than her own material).
Again, there's nothing wrong with it, either way. Stevie has one hell of an unusual voice, and always has. So it doesn't surprise me that some people don't care for it now or then or ever. My favorite era for Stevie's voice (1983-1987) is long-gone, but I also love what her voice has become. It continues to effect and move me in ways that no one else's voice ever has, and it brings me endless joy... so hopefully everyone has a singer (or musician) that does that for them.
