And some people can't get past their hero worship, and examine things on a truly objective scale.

Mystified, and Only Over Ewe were songs that took me years to appreciate. I love them now, but it wasn't easy getting here.

As I said, it was Stevie who grabbed my attention on Tango.

On Tango Lindsey gave us Big Love. It is OK. His production across the whole album is amazing, genius, and likely a big part of why I was attracted to Stevie's songs.

All of Christine's are great on Tango, and Mystified is my favourite of them.

Whilst Christine’s songs are the best overall, Tango in general is my favourite album so I absolutely love them all.
I really love all Steve’s songs. I don’t get the hate for WTTRS. It’s just a great earthy rock song. I can understand why people dislike WISYA…..but it’s ones I came to love through the sheer number of times I played the album.

But overall….
1 Christine
2 Lindsey
3 Stevie

Isn't It MidNight
Everywhere
Mystified
Little Lies
You And I

Her material is fantastic. I know she wrote Little Lies by the pool and had a lot of music laying around and needed lyrics.

Christine wins this one, not just for “Everywhere” and “Little Lies” — her big hits — but for all her album tracks, including the two “You and I” songs and even for her outtake on the deluxe set.

From my understanding, "You and I Part 1" was more of Lindsey's song while "You and I Part 2" was conceived as a Christine McVie composition (at least based on the early demos that feature herself on lead vocals).

Christine by a country mile. I even love Mystified.

A country mile with a horse in the video.

While I do love Big Love and Caroline (and Down Endless Street if we are counting any bonus tracks), just on Everywhere and Little Lies alone, even before you get to Isn't It Midnight, I gotta give this one to Chris.

Weirdly enough, voting in these polls gives me some insight into Lindsey's frustration with his role in the band and not feeling seen. I think that in many cases, his contributions make other songwriters' songs better, and that is his strong suit, but even on TITN, which one could argue is the best showcase of Lindsey's songwriting (mainly because Stevie was so absent and more room was available for his songs), it's still (to me) not as strong as the work that Christine was able to do (with his input).

Like I want to give Lindsey props, but each time, I do find myself preferring the actual final product songs from Stevie and Christine, even if the album as a whole benefited greatly from Lindsey's input.

I'm one of those that like Family Man and Big Love.

You are not alone. I always hope I'll hear Big Love live in the Tango style some day.
