I don't hear a strong Lindsey influence on "Think about Me," "Angel," "Beautiful Child," "Never Forget," "Over and Over" or "Brown Eyes."
And I still say (and many others agree) that "Not That Funny" is just a bad song and therefore not the linchpin of "Tusk," but rather its worst song. It also was the nadir of the "Tusk" shows.

I see, you're a joker. Can you honestly even imagine Christine bringing a song to Fleetwood Mac strictly based on the acoustic guitar, as in "Never Forget?" Please, if you can think of any other instance before Tusk, share with us. "Beautiful Child" has no strong Lindsey influence!? So you think that all those guitar parts and harmonies were thought up by Stevie? Not that she couldn't mind you; it's just that the whole treatment of the song is very Lindseyesque. Or "Angel." Did you watch the Making of Tusk video?
About the only song on your list that does not sound very Lindseyesque is "Brown Eyes." But guess what, do you think Christine would have brought it to the studio and have it produced that way if not for Lindsey? That minimalism has Lindsey all over it; even though the song doesn't sound very Lindsey, it still has his fingerprints.
Nothing on Tusk doesn't have a lot of Lindsey, even when a lot is just a little by design.
