You make some great points there Sorcerer, and in no way was I trying to put Stevie down - I'm just baffled as to why the most popular member of the band hasn't had more success with her Mac songs. As you say, Gypsy and Sara are so much better than Oh Diane (only my opinion;)) and yet they flopped and Oh Diane made the top 10!
Good point too about Landslide, I can see why it's there now having taken into account what you said.
There is definitely a certain section of Brits who do resent the post Peter Green line-ups and the more pop/rock sound that Lindsey and Stevie added. I have argued many times with people about it but they just dismiss anything if Peter wasn't involved - which is their loss as far as I'm concerned. Only one PG era song makes that list though so the Rumours era band clearly has a massive following here.
I wonder if a lot of her problems over there are from the disc jockeyes. They sorta rule. Maybe they blew her off.

Oh Diane, which made the 10 in the UK in 1982, is largely forgotten.
Thank God for letting that song die in the desert and never seeing the promised land of eternal airplay.

I don't agree. Maybe it's a bit cheesy but it's catchy and likable aswell, and that's the main thing.
