Stevie's Klonopin era wasn't great. There were a lot of bad judgments. Unfortunately that's the era when I first started being aware of pop music, so my first impressions weren't great. Since I discovered the back catalog though I've been a fan.
I've always been biased toward Stevie and it took longer to warm to Christine. But I loved her on the last tour and realized how vital she is. Many of her songs charted very well for FM. I may not be crazy about all of her material but many others seem to like it and it's hard for me to believe she could write a truly bad song. I respect her a great deal. She plays beautiful keyboard and her smoother voice is a good counter balance to Stevie's tone.
As performers and artists, I think they all have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. But they balance each other and when together it's an interesting dynamic.
