I'm much the same way. Many Fleetwood Mac songs were much, much better before they were polished to a blinding sheen (Never Make Me Cry is a perfect example). The beautiful edges and facets are buffed out when songs are polished too much. Stevie's solo career especially suffers from this affliction. To quote board member Vivfox: "Stevie wastes thousands of dollars ruining her songs in the studio."
