What if... Lindsey never left the band

[SteveMacD]

Obviously, Billy and Rick couldn't replace that tension Lindsey brought, nor were they visionaries, per se. But, the band could have had better output nonetheless. There were just so many missteps and bad decisions. I think Red Rocks, the Tango video, OSOTM, and Greatest Hits album all hurt their image, oversaturated the market with bland products, and killed any momentum from the tour. Then they took too long to release the actual new Mac album.

Bad decisions carried into the record, too. BTM would have been better if they used a different producer (i.e. Richard Dashut, Ken Caillat, Mitchell Froom, or Patrick Leonard), used the stronger songs from Billy and Rick (i.e. Victim of Love, Game of Love, Intuition, and Got No Home), and if the girls had also brought some stronger material.
