She put more into them, and it shows. By the Tusk album/tour, she seemed used to fame and I felt her songs suffered a little for it.

TBH, I never found Stevie's song to really suffer in quality till when she got addicted to klonopin. Now that's when they started to get bad, but to me, every great songwriter has their ups and downs in terms of song quality.

Oh yeah, and I often found that, of her FMac material Rumours has my least favorite Stevie songs. I can't stand Dreams, Gold Dust Woman is better live (especially that 10 minute one from the Japan show), I'm not crazy for I Don't Want To Know, but I love Silver Springs and The Chain, but that's just me.
