 Amber, BD is a masterpiece! Don't NOT listen to it because it's not a dance record. I'm SURE Stevie will admit it's her masterpiece. It's a well written, cohesive, So Cal rock album. It holds it's own with Rumours and Hotel California, IMO.Oh, for a time machine!

Besides, it's not about who any of us loves "more" or "less"... I was just trying to keep things fair by responding to the "pandering to the masses" criticism.  Quote:

She lost some folks over the years, and gained some folks. Her popularity ebbed and flowed. But she maintained a pretty solid core audience who are not of the "fair-weather fan" variety. If there are a few songs or albums in there that they don't care for, they don't just cast Stevie aside and look for something else to hold their attention. And, again, "crap" is all subjective. It seems to me that a song is only "crap" if we can't figure out why other people like it, when we don't.

So to say that Stevie's latter-day albums sold less because they were of a lesser quality, is to imply that Lindsey & Christine's albums were of an even lesser quality, based on their sales. It's definitely an argument with dangerous implications all around. We're also discussing a women who, for whatever it's worth, maintained a respectable level of success while suffering through setbacks and missteps that would have put the final nail in the coffin of many lesser talents. Anyway, I've "walked down this road" many times before... just thought I'd make a couple of quick points (which, for me, "quick" always seems to be at least four paragraphs.  ).

Just a few quick responses.
Quote:
But if it's being used with affection, then I'll wear the little label proudly. Quote:
Plus, you seem to hate "Come" and "Murrow" and seem to have little-to-no affection for 'Say You Will'... which is half Lindsey, song-wise, and all Lindsey, production-wise (figuratively speaking). So I didn't figure you hated him, I just figured Christine was at the top of the list, and Lindsey was somewhere higher than Stevie, but much lower than Chris. Quote:
No, I don't believe that to be true. I see quite a few Chris & Lindsey songs that your typical music lover might dismiss outright as being lame, goofy, boring, crappy, subpar, etc.... yet get praised to the high heavens by their fans (which I am most definitely including myself amongst). We're fans... we like this music for a reason, and we're always going to like certain songs that would cause most other people to scratch their heads and question our sanity. Stevie's fans may be louder in their defense of Stevie, because they seem to exist in higher numbers... but they're truly no more defensive or forgiving than Christine's or Lindsey's fans, when it comes right down to it. Quote:
Again, it's a matter of personal preference.

[/QUOTE] But if it's being used with affection, then I'll wear the little label proudly. [/QUOTE]Well, I did the xoxo thing......duh! [/QUOTE] Not that you've dogged him necessarily... just that I've never noticed you being as vocal in your appreciation of his work, as you are regarding Christine's. [/QUOTE] He HAS his own army of vocal supporters, that I need not....( so tired, my vocabulary is failing me now)..... [/QUOTE] Plus, you seem to hate "Come" and "Murrow" and seem to have little-to-no affection for 'Say You Will'... which is half Lindsey, song-wise, and all Lindsey, production-wise (figuratively speaking).[/QUOTE] Come is NOT a FM song. Murrow can slide as one. COME on! Do you REALLY think Come is a FM song? Tacky. [/QUOTE] So I didn't figure you hated him, I just figured Christine was at the top of the list, and Lindsey was somewhere higher than Stevie, but much lower than Chris.[/QUOTE] Well, the order is correct, even if the levels are a tad askew. [/QUOTE] Stevie's fans may be louder in their defense of Stevie, because they seem to exist in higher numbers... [/QUOTE] Nope. I maintain that she could fart in a microphone, and they'd love it. [/QUOTE] "The Highwayman" is probably my least favorite song on 'Bella Donna'... I'd definitely take "Doing The Best That I Can" or "Ghosts" or probably even "Alice" over it.[/QUOTE] Wow. You and AMber are weird. Highwayman is great! Again, it's a matter of personal preference. [/QUOTE][/QUOTE] Indeed. Goodnight, Johnnystewboy. zzzzzzzz

And, of course, it would be "art" if he did. I've been on a 'Go Insane' kick lately, so I'll listen extra closely tonight, and let you know if I find anything! Quote:
PM me sometime soon and let me know how Cash is doing, ok? Been keeping you guys in my thoughts, and sending good vibes your way.

I find it funny and odd how some fans are so damn fickle. So an artist you like puts out an album you don't like....so you write them off entirely?? In the scope of an artist's career, you should allow them to make a few missteps (which are totally subjective).
For me, that's what makes it interesting. And often, as I've seen stated here many times, often the very songs/albums you initially depised/hated are the ones you come to love over time.
