Christine had the least by far of the three.

Stevie doesn’t claim to be a creative visionary and has said something to the effect that she let the band down. She knows her Tango songs sucked and that everyone else does, too. I’m not giving her a pass. We’ve beaten that horse to death over twenty years ago. Incidentally, between the Inauguration and In the Meantime threads revisiting the 90-95 years, I remember being giddy that Stevie was out and Bekka was in (having become a big fan in 1992 with the Zoo).

My entire point was, you have an opinion just like everyone else. You can think whatever song you want is "filler" but it certainly isn't a fact the way you present it to be. I might think everything between Behind The Mask and Time sounds like generic Wilson Phillips FM radio, but I'm not out here declaring it's "filler" and acting like everyone else doesn't have a clue.

Fine, I’ll say it- I’m Mystified how anyone could like Family Man or WiSYA more than Mystified! |

Tango is usually hailed as being good because of Lindsey’s work and production, to which I say, then what about When I See You Again and Family Man? Call Big Love, Little Lies, Everywhere, Seven Wonders, and Isn’t It Midnight excellent (which I do) but then throw in WISYA, FM, and maybe even Welcome to the Room (which I think usually gets a pass because once we learned it was about her stint in rehab, it kind of made sense), and Lindsey should get as much blame as he gets credit. Something I have always wondered about, ever since I read someone’s firsthand account of being at the MTV taping of the Dance, was how the intro to Wish You Were Here is pretty much lifted from Silver Springs. I remember the guy wrote he and his friend thought they were going to perform WYWH when they started the opening riff and were shocked when Stevie started singing SS. I mean, was it unintentional on Christine’s part, or a subconscious swipe? Was Christine inspired by SS? I actually think it’s cool, that they sound so much alike at first, just wondering how that might have came to be. |

Exactly. She had NO filler IMHO.
Only Over You and Wish You Were Here are great songs!

The only embarrassing song she did was “Ricky,” but why be judgy about a b-side? (And, it’s still better than the songs Stevie wrote for TITN.)

Seriously. She had no bad songs. They all had meaning, a good melody, great lyrics and full of love.

Lindsey did step away for several years to make OOTC. Stevie did the same and emerged with Street Angel!

I don’t blame Lindsey for being demanding. I do blame him for not letting the band play on all of his songs on Tusk and Tango, though. Who else would I blame? But I’m not mad about it and besides, they let him do it. Not sure what you mean about Lindsey fracturing the band, but he did quit in 1987, so that would certainly count as fracturing the band to me.

I love When I See You Again. When I hear The Second Time, I feel so depressed!
