I think some of you Tango worshippers unconsciously acknowledge Tango's weaknesses and always trying to put other songs on it.
While Tango was a huge success, it way underperformed in sales in the states by the amount of hit singles it had. IMHO, that sums it up. Its safe, predictable pop music but there was no rush to go buy it. Everybody Finds Out is unpredictable and unprogrammed and its perfect where it is

IMHO it was refreshing to hear Lindsey's muted criticism of Tango recently about how safe and predictable it was. It was done on purpose to get Mick out of bankruptcy and be a pop success while creativity took a back seat. SYW is Lindsey at his best, always fighting for creativity and demonstrating it. To mix up these albums is comparing apples to watermelons IMHO.
I disagree with just about everything you have stated here. Still love you though.

You're not getting Everybody Finds Out for Tango. No way Jose. SYW is a fantastic album and this song highlights many of the album's wonders.

However, under duress we will give you Silver Girl. No questions asked. Cheaper than free. And it would be Stevie's BEST Tango contribution

Cheaper Than Free should be scrubbed from IYD on itunes and spotify like Gaga did with Do Want You Want With My Body.

I dont know what she was thinking putting that song on. My Heart woulda closed the album better and kept the momentum from Italian Summer

High Fashion, High Passion. Good God!

The only reason Tango was successful was because Lindsey left.

Yeah he just disappeared abruptly a couple of months ago. Dennison has been gone for years.

To correct the record:
It was Lindsey's departure that made Little Lies a hit, not the album


I hope Steve is ok. I miss his attention to detail
