I can understand why Stevie doesn't have as many tracks on Tango in the Night because she was absent for a lot of the recording sessions. Lindsey dominates Tusk because he has nearly half of the album to himself while Stevie's and Christine's songs are scattered in between. Stevie might have the longer songs, but she doesn't dominate the album like Lindsey does. I also don't like the big gap between Christine's songs (Think About Me and Brown Eyes).
I would have liked something like this:
Lindsey = 7 tracks
Christine = 7 tracks
Stevie = 6 tracks
That's my opinion. You don't have to agree with it.

I think that's a valid point. And it probably explains why Stevie went on to pursue a solo career. If Stevie had sung Crystal then she would have had 3 songs on FM FM. I kind of wish band members wrote for each other more than they do....I think Lindsey taking Crystal is the only song I can think of that was written by someone else. I love his version; I also wish there was a recording of Stevie singing it from the 70s.
