Tommer, I am going to respectfully disagree with that. While I understand your social icon argument, from a musical standpoint, you're off key. We can disagree over whether Jimmy Iovine did a better job than Lindsey in the studio. I happen to like Jimmy's work; he did a nice job on two of her albums. But I like Lindsey's work far better.
It seems you are implying Lindsey isn't as good a producer as some of us give him credit for because of his lack of commercial success with his solo work. Really, those are separate factors. One could in fact argue that had his production been less brilliant, or say more average and conforming to trends, he might have been more popular. Genius is often dismissed because it is misunderstood.
