And I'm not being anti-Stevie. Pro-Lindsey. Stevie always brought out the best in Lindsey also. Everytime I listen to Under the Skin and Gift of Screws I imagine what we lost by her not being included in those songs and not having songs of her own to compliment them on the albums.
In decades of lost opportunities, Say You Will is a shining beacon.

TrueFaith, you are so right in what you say of SYW. I do love that album and I'm proud to say it. I'm proud enough to wear a "SYW IS AWESOME AND WHAT YOU GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT" shirt in front of Stevie Nicks if I so feel it because it is really the album that cemented them in my heart as a current band as opposed to an oldies band with great classic songs.
And it was Lindsey's incredible performances during the SYW shows that made me really, really into them. I will always love the album and, yes, prefer Lindsey's songs on there to Stevie's- but hers aren't crap. I listened to all of her solo albums and there are songs on those that I would probably use that word with over some of her SYW stuff. She is unnecessarily harsh towards LB re: his work on that album and I'm shocked not because it isn't fair, but more because I haven't heard much better from her own stuff.
