Count them as you will. I submit that most of the harmony stuff does not count as one of her songs per se, but it is still time she was spending not doing her own stuff while LB was doing his own stuff, unless LB worked with her a la Magnet and Steel. So, take that for what it is worth.

Oh holy crap.  Since we were talking about quality of their songs along with the number of songs I only counted songs with at least a co-writing credit, i.e. Some Become Strangers and I Am Waiting didn't make my list.

'Bella Donna' and 'Out Of The Cradle' would definitely be exceptions to that rule, though I'd venture to say that those two albums have maybe one or two "only a fan could love" songs apiece.

I am so anal  Seriously though, I agree anbd think the songs she actually wrote count more. But, she likely spent an entire year or so (cummulatively) working on other peoples' stuff - so that should factor in somehow - maybe add five songs to her self written total.

OK ignore my posts. but read this:
If you are thinking LB's songwriting can be seperated from playing with 19 layers of guitar, you still don't understand the man. If you think his work lacks intensity, you just know ONE kind if intensity. The obvious one.

2. I never said anything about his or intensity. Maybe you were addressing someone else with that. I think his songs are very dense and intense. His lyrics, for the most part, not so much - though Go Insane and ISA certainly are - but Trouble and Family Man are not.

The song is obviously about a bank heist gone horribly wrong. I think what Lindsey is saying that if he doesn't get to his mob boss "on the double," he'll be in a "lot of trouble," and one of his henchmen will kill someone very close to him, which will eventually force him to "forget about love was for." What a depressing song!

But one of the criticisms I have of Lindsey's poetry is that, despite his obvious musical intelligence & urge to explore the new, he has almost never gone beyond the (to me) limiting boundary of popular music. Only here & there & only in bits & pieces has he stepped in deeper waters--like his musique concrete mini-experiment on his 2nd solo album, & his borrowings of classical themes. But even those have been diatonic & not chromatic (the more adventurous style for contemporary pop composers like David Byrne & Frank Zappa). For example, I would have expected a major, lengthy instrumental piece from Lindsey after all these years.I'm not just talking "Book of Love" or something that's in effect a pop song without singing. I'm talking a serious instrumental composition, taken at length (rather than instrumental "breaks" like those in the D.W. Suite). This is what I would expect, not from someone who considers himself primarily a songwriter (like Springsteen) but from someone who clearly thinks in sonic/textural terms rather than verbal ones. I imagine wonderful things from him if he had chosen to compose, say, film scores all these years. Instead, we get a lot of retro conservatism from guys like Howard Shore & James Newton Howard. But Lindsey had the ability to create movie scores that you could talk about seriously, like the renaissance in scoring for the French New Wave when songwriters like Jean Constantin & Maurice Jarre created experimental but hugely popular scores that were equal to the characters in importance. But, heckers, he didn't ....

I agree with you. I was, however, referring to the fact that La Nicks states she takes journal entries and turns them into poems. Then, she writes a melody to fit her poetry. So, they start out as poems. LB's, from what I have heard, do not. Rather, they are a product of the music. So, that is where I was getting her poems are perhaps truer poetry because they started out that way, perhaps like some of the Psalms, which are now only mostly spoken. I do think, though, that LB's poetry, in a borader sense, is in his layering of music. I agree that it would heavenly if he did something along the lines of Steinman's epic "Bat out of Hell" - perhaps done very simply with a cello, celesta (the French four octave), tympany, and him on acoustic guitar. If there must be woodwinds, I suggest an oboe. If we must be modern, then a glockenspiel could suffice in crescendo, which I suggest will be many. I think this would give the mad musician something very different - Ersatz if you will.
