I'm not burned out on Stevie, I'm simply sick of her current boring material. I still play her older material on a regular basis and that wouldn't be happening if I was "burned out" on her. I simply dislike her current mediocre offerings. To quote the Queen herself, she's a "pale shadow" of her former self in the writing department. The leaking of My Heart certainly proved as much.

It seems to me (again, not that my opinion matters) that your familiarity with her music has bred a level of contempt.

I see. It's not Stevie per se, it's just that she's released more crappy stuff over the years than Lindsey.

Considering that I play his solo albums and mix CDs almost daily, I'm curious as to why I've not gotten burned out on him yet.

No, her lack of interesting and new ideas does.

Because, my dear. This place wouldn't exist and you'd be out of a job.
