Chris has never really had a dud song or "padding" as she would call it. We have songs we may not care for but in the end they are still decent songs. There were times members of the band even dissed Tusk. Chris regularly knocked her singing and songs in the very early years so I bet she would pick something early.
Stevie always recorded her own songs with the Mac so I doubt she dislikes them. Clearly she does not like the RAL era with being forced to sing other people's songs. I would love to know which are her least favorites. She also hates the Street Angel era but her life was so messed up then. She would probably say she hates that entire album minus a few songs.
This band was very good. I think they are very proud of the vast majority of their work. Stevie has dissed SYW but I get its something Lindsey is proud of like Tusk.
btw
I bet Lindsey likes Oh Diane. Its very Everly Brothers and what lured him into music.

This is not entirely surprising. At most, certain members might have grievances with how a song was recorded, but outright hating a song is different. Often, there usually a good reason as to why a song was selected to appear on an album in the first place. Sometimes, this reason is to fill up an album with enough songs, but with multiple songwriters in the group over the band's entire history, this has not really been much of an issue, perhaps with the exception of
Future Games, which only originally had seven songs. All of the examples you mentioned align with what I have read.
