She was fitting into the times, in the 80's, and did very well out of the gate. Her first two albums established her. Then her songwriting, singing, production, and drug consumption took her straight into the sh*tter. Lindsey is a perfectly fine songwriter. Just because he doesn't pray to "the commercial gods" like some other idiot, doesn't make his work any less valuable. Perhaps it's more valuable, for anyone who can think outside of pure sales(which is what 90% of $tevie fans tend to do). FM would have died 30 years ago, if it weren't for Lindsey's vision. Anyone who doesn't agree is an idiot.

Hopefully some extra brain cells and a SPINE. Since he apparently lost his in a farm(goat) accident.

Also, I've noticed what seems to be a criticism about Stevie that I take to be one of her strengths- her willingness to work with other people and to record songs written by other people. As opposed to Lindsey, who is seemingly less willing to work with other people or record songs written by other people. I have often felt that Lindsey has shortchanged himself by choosing to isolate himself, musically. I know he's written some songs that were recorded by other artists, and produced other people, but I've always thought it would be interesting to see a couple of his songs produced by someone else. |

As far as songwriting goes,
Lindsey has simply gotten better with age, like a fine cheese. Stevie, on the other hand, has apparently soured and gone off.

As for Lindsey's writing, I think it is the best of the three for my personal taste. Sometimes the song itself is bare-bones but still is interesting within the track. But even Lindsey does consider himself a "stylist" (or something to that effect) more than a writer. His work is a composite of all aspects from recording, writing and production to create a single work. Each element is integral to the whole. That's something Stevie would never do and wouldn't be right for the kind of artist she is. Nothing wrong with either approach, though I much prefer Lindsey's. |

Stevie needs to cover the songs of other people because she now can't write a decent song on her own

Even for an alleged masterpiece [sic] like Bella Donna, one has to disconnect oneself from reality and enter her very strange mental universe--even then she was solipsistic and self-absorbed. The songs have reference only to her feelings, and nothing else. The world does not need to exist in her songs. Dreams indeed. Last edited by NotonRodeo; 10-20-2018 at 09:54 AM.. |

Neil Finn does a lot of twirling, so I see. Stevie's been choreographing with him.

Go on easy on our esteemed friend Sugar Mouse--he is only throwing undue shade at Lindsey's solo career because he's bitter that his thread in the Present Band forum celebrating Neil Finn's solo career sunk like a stone.

So if you look at the list of the biggest movie box office grossers in Variety, that's your list of the best movies ever made? Isn't that really your approach taken to its logical conclusion? Rihanna has sold multimillions more than Fleetwood Mac. By your account, is she therefore the greater artist? Paul Westerberg never sold multimillions, but I've never known anyone who didn't think he was a hell of a songwriter. Sales in any popular art is a dubious criterion of quality (leaving aside for the moment that the measure of quality in any art is subjective). P.S. I love Rihanna! P.P.S. Almost everyone in Fleetwood Mac over the decades seems to have had different talents. Many were great instrumentalists, a few were great vocalists, several were great songwriters, a few were envelope pushers and audience challengers, some were good at looking good (which is important in rock), and one was a great drummer.
