making an argument to the contrary. I think Stevie DID have a say in how her songs came out. No one kept her from mixing the songs the way she wanted. There's no evidence that Lindsey kept her from having an engineer of her choosing on her songs. Lindsey did not ban Chris Lord-Alge.
If the argument is that she just got tired of fighting with Lindsey, then why doesn't she also get too tired of
complaining about him too?
You know, everyone accepts that Lindsey is difficult. He even calls himself a "troublemaker" but the process of working within a band is always going to be harder than working solo. It's harder for Lindsey too. Of course, it's easier to work with Dave Stewart on a
solo album, but that's because Dave knows it's not his album. If he was working with Annie, Stevie and himself on an album belonging to the three of them, I doubt Stevie would have had as much fun, fun, fun with him.
Bands require compromise. Compromise is tough and stressful and comes after toil and arguments. Stevie is not the only one who feels picked on or unheard. Yes, I can understand her not wanting to go through the process again, but I don't buy its because she was treated so very unfairly during the SYW production.
