Hmmm...that's an interesting insight, & I shall think about it further.

It sort of reminds me of Robert Hilburn's comment, way back in 1980 in a Los Angeles Times review of a Fleetwood Mac concert at the Hollywood Bowl, that Christine's material has greater shelf life than either Lindsey's or Stevie's "more stylized" songs.
