I always find these discussions rather amusing. I have been a fan for 33 years now since the age of 6. I prefer the era of Stevie and Lindsey. That is my personal opinion. I dont care for Time at all, but again thats just personal taste. I think some of this is rooted in fans trying to one up each other by saying this or that era is better. WHO CARES!!!!! Just enjoy whichever style or era of the band you choose to and let it be at that.
