His earlier solo material comes across as being less about the lyrical content and vocal performances, and more about the sonic soundscapes he was creating. The tracks are textured, boisterous, and just plain fun... but typically lacked the in-your-face emotion of what Stevie was doing.

The emotion is certainly there in Lindsey's songs, too, but it was fairly hidden by the bells and whistles.

So Lindsey's approach tended to appeal most to people who appreciate the art of creating and exploring new sounds, in an almost intellectual way. Stevie played more to the heart.

Admittedly, when I think about what I love about Lindsey's solo music I think about OOTC and after, along with the FM stuff. Certainly we can talk about what L&O and GI lacked, and warmth might be one of those things, but intensity -- for good or for bad -- I don't think so.

______________________________________________________

I tried to make that accurate. Count them as you will. I submit that most of the harmony stuff does not count as one of her songs per se, but it is still time she was spending not doing her own stuff while LB was doing his own stuff, unless LB worked with her a la Magnet and Steel. So, take that for what it is worth.

Oh holy crap.

Since we were talking about quality of their songs along with the number of songs I only counted songs with at least a co-writing credit, i.e. Some Become Strangers and I Am Waiting didn't make my list.

I agree -- the conversation should be kept to songs that they've had a hand in penning.

I am so anal

Seriously though, I agree anbd think the songs she actually wrote count more. But, she likely spent an entire year or so (cummulatively) working on other peoples' stuff - so that should factor in somehow - maybe add five songs to her self written total.
