tough to argue with Christine's tunes being "sturdy" but that's not great... probably the ONLY iconic track she wrote was Don't Stop, and that's primarily due to the Clinton revival.. her songs are catchy, "sturdy" and consistently good, but none have gotten into the zeitgeist like Landslide, Rhiannon, Gypsy, Edge.
I haven't seen the list and might consider CM better than many... but there's been little cultural impact from her songs
