Nobody does it better....

Don't agree! I offer up "Smile at You" and "Silver Girl" as evidence. "Desiny Rules" was a great song that was poorly executed- it should have been done in a higher key and with a stronger vocal. Ditto "Say You Will." One of the primary roles of the producer is tell the artist whether something is or is not working. Songs like "Welcome to the Room... Sara", "When I See You Again" and "Silver Girl" should have definitely been aborted.

I think Stevie's best collaborators, by far, have been Jimmy Iovine and John Shanks. Stevie's worst collaborators have been Rupert Hine and Mike Campbell tied in first, with Sheryl Crow close behind. I think Lindsey is somewhere in the upper middle of the spectrum.
