Thanks Jyqm, I was having the same thought...It would be like saying Dylans music is no good b/c his voice is to ones dislike...
Although Joni can be an aquired taste, when I first heard her I didn't like how high her voice was, then one day I just bought a record to see what all the fuss was about (her first rec I think) and that was it...especially after I picked up Blue and heard River... An Gypsysongbird, yes there may be some deeper undercurrents to Chris's songs, I do adore Songbird and You'll Never Make Me Cry b/c they seem to go beyond the fluff, but on a whole I don't think the songs try to go beyond the pop feel. In the Mac Chris I think is the most surface writter, not that that's bad, it just different...Stevie and Lindseys songs can have many different layers to them...but they are not nearly as talented at writting a great pop song as evidenced by SYW (In fact Stevies best pop song Dreams isn't nearly as catchy as most of Chris's, despite it hitting #1). The best songwritters can do both quite well (Dylan with Blowing in the Wind, a very accessable song, and Rolling Stone a very complex song) or Joni with "Turn Me on I'm a Radio" to Blue or River (both have a bit more then surface meaning). In truth that's why I would be hesitant to rate any of the Mac writters as "the best songwritters." Nicks comes the closest for me since on her best songs she can be very accessable and yet still meaningful, SS, Gypsy, Dreams, GDW, Sara, EO17...genreal public can love them, poets can analyze them...I can't see a poet analyzing any of Chris's lyrics...Lindsey perhaps, but he gets so mirred in his own angst that he sometimes misses the connection.

I think Christine only writes about what she feels comfortable with.
She's said herself that she's a "pretty basic love-song writer". she's also said after the release of ITM that she's tried to write songs with more of a political edge but she sounds like a "pretentious twot" Gail |
