But let's be fair, he was the catalyst of the thing and his stubborn butthead behaviour put the seed in the ground for a masterpiece. So at least you can say "he owns the spirit of the album". And therefor he would have DESERVED to win.

Bugger is right. I'm glad that if any Stevie song won it was Storms because it's her best song ever, but even die-hard FM fans don't appreciate the spirit of the album from what I've seen in this game. They automatically toss out anything that is a little weird and experimental and then latch onto the most commercial songs for dear life. It boggles me how crap like Angel stayed around for so long, while brilliant stuff like SMAP, WATL, WMYTYTO, and Not That Funny was kicked to the curb almost instantly.
Yeah, it's all subjective, but honestly, the majority of you guys don't like the weird or experimental stuff unless it's Stevie talking about moons and sisters and intense silence and ghosts in fogs. And even then, you're still sticking with the safest songs. Stevie isn't a risk taker, even when the whole album was about taking risks. Even Christine indulged a bit. But that's all I'll say.
