My point is, though, that most of Lindsey's stuff for SYW was already recorded when they first went into the studio. They added Stevie's vocals and that was it. I agree-- if the material we're talking about from SYW has only been roughly worked with, then it is totally fair game and I'd love to see it. But I also think that they recorded enough songs for a double album and a lot of stuff got scratched, meaning they have some songs that are basically complete.... I don't know if I want to see those unless they actually fit and aren't just kinda forced in.
I'm sure Stevie loves some of Lindsey's tracks on the album. Every one? No. And I don't think she'd pin any of her dissatisfaction on SYW as a project (tour and studio) on just the album itself if there wasn't some truth to it.... I just don't see why she'd bring it on the album itself if her issues really were totally elsewhere.

I see your point about SYW, I just don't believe the majority of LB's songs were meant for a solo album. They knew back to "The Dance" they were doing another album. Stevie is on video saying that. I read an interview of Lindsey's today where he admitted only a couple of songs from SYW was he thinking of saving for solo. I just don't think they throw things together quite so haphazardly as they sometimes like to paint in the press.
Reason? It makes for great press to be able to talk sh** about each other, the dissatisfaction, etc. Why would Stevie bitch about the album and not about the real issues? Because it's stuff she can't/won't mention in public...so, she gets her point across another way...it's a game.
But, you're right - she didn't like "Come" and she didn't sing on it. But, Lindsey made a point of saying she "left the stage" when he did it on tour. Well, duh - she wasn't singing!
I guess SYW does feel a little disjointed, but I tend to think all the albums after Rumours feel that way. Plus, if Stevie sequenced it, as she always likes to point out that she does, then I feel she puts thought into the overall concept. Eh - JMO.
