But one could say that Christine's also never had a 'Bella Donna,' a 'Wild Heart' or a 'Trouble In Shangri-La.'

You seem to be a bit more vocal in your love of Christine than you are in your love of Lindsey. At times I've actually thought you only liked him about two notches above Stevie.

Besides, it's not about who any of us loves "more" or "less"... I was just trying to keep things fair by responding to the "pandering to the masses" criticism.

As do I.

But then that's hardly Stevie's fault, is it? A larger portion of Fleetwood Mac's audience seemed to connect with Stevie's songs, and they followed her over to her solo career, where she also picked up additional fans.

She lost some folks over the years, and gained some folks. Her popularity ebbed and flowed.
But she maintained a pretty solid core audience who are not of the "fair-weather fan" variety.
If there are a few songs or albums in there that they don't care for, they don't just cast Stevie aside and look for something else to hold their attention.

And, again, "crap" is all subjective.
It seems to me that a song is only "crap" if we can't figure out why other people like it, when we don't.
