Sheesz Teedee, you don't have to quote the entire post. Makes it easier to browse through for some.

but he used it on the syw cd. why is it that formula of music is ok for lindsey to use and not ok for stevie. why is it when stevie writes a song its because she was thinking commercial , i do agree stevie writes a song like say you will and hopes ppl will like it, but i dont think she always has that on her mind when she is writing.

I said in my post that Stevie always writes from the heart and I don't even believe that "Say You Will" was written with commercial intentions in mind; it was just produced that way.
And the same I will say about "SYHA" too, even though I've never been particularly fond of it. (I think it's the weakest on the entire Say You Will album.)

i think those songs of stevies are less commercial sounding than lindseys,and even saying that , i do think they appeal more to the general listener than just the die hards.

It's your opinion. And it's my opinion when I say that nothing Lindsey has done is inaccessible and is appealing if listened to from different angles. But I do say that it might take a little more struggle than seems to be required of listeners today to get through to some of his material because of the diversity that he has.
You want to hear something inaccessible, you go listen to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music. Or Tangerine Dream's Electronic Meditation.
