Underrated in FM?

You're not the first person to say this but frankly I don't understand it. To me the balance on Tusk was *worse* because technically Stevie should have had SIX songs on Tusk (matching her "3 per album" quota) and she only had five. Tusk was the album where I felt she was short-changed.

I completely agree with that. Gold Dust Woman is a great closer. Songbird is an obvious choice, but Gold Dust Woman is an inspired choice.

I don't think that Stevie has ever been underrated in Fleetwood Mac. Of course some reviews try to criticize her input but on the other hand for the most part these are her songs that have stood the test of time and served as a foundation for Fleetwood Mac's ongoing legacy. Stevie gave the band its only #1 hit single and thanks to her image she made it more popular. Before Stevie's presence in the band, Fleetwood Mac had been more or less obscure ex-blues British group of stellar musicians. Stevie gave them recognizable identity, even if for some people it was kind of itchy/witchy identity. Most people associate Fleetwood Mac with Stevie...Stevie gave them good face
