I think he said it had elements aimed for the commercial market, like Trouble and Slow Dancing (respectively) but overall they were albums where he tried to push the limits of his creativity, Go Insane more so than L&O. He specifically mentioned Go Insane got crazier as the album progressed. I have a hard time believing he was aiming to sell as many albums as possible. If that was the case, he would have made a Rumours II.

In the end, I think it is possible to be both and clearly he wants to be commercially successful or he would have left The Mac after Tusk and certainly after Mirage (where they made more millions) -- yet, he came back three times, and admitted that The Dance was about the money

Not entirely. He felt if he did the Fleetwood Mac thing he would have more of a leg out there if he were to release a solo after that. I doubt he really only did it for the money, he obviously wasn't in dire need of any. By both his own and Stevie's admission.

and SYW came about because Warner's did not want the GOS but would take him with The Mac.

What other options did he have then?

Of course, he could have been coming back to The Mac to be with Stevie

That's what he told me.
