If anything, Tom Petty and Don Henley were much larger influences on her solo sound than Lindsey.

So, at the end of the day, Lindsey may have helped her success indirectly by making FM a commercial success. But the success of Stevie's solo career has everything to do with Stevie and her other collaborators/boyfriends.
