As everyone is well aware, I follow all of the statistics, album sales, etc., and it's very easy to see that Stevie was not selling as well as she had in the early 80s, and that her singles weren't dominating the airwaves the way they used to. The only thing I was trying to comment on, is the claim that the drop in popularity and sales is somehow a dependable indicator that her material was of a lesser quality. We all know for a fact that you can release the best album of your life... Lindsey's 'Out Of The Cradle' is an excellent example of that... and still not be very popular or sell a lot of copies. Now, in saying this (because one always has to qualify these types of statements around here, otherwise your intention is misconstrued), I'm NOT saying that albums like 'The Other Side Of The Mirror' and 'Street Angel' were the best albums of Stevie's career. I'm merely stating that low sales are not an indicator of low quality, and shouldn't be used to suggest so. I was also trying to remind folks that EVERY artist goes through a decline in popularity. You fall out of fashion, or people get burned out on you, and that's that. The lucky and most talented of the bunch, come back from that eventually.

He agreed to turn his solo album into a Mac album at the insistence of a certain Mick Fleetwood. The album didn't need Stevie or any of the others; it would've gotten released some time in the eighties. But, when it was agreed that it was going to be a Mac album, that entailed bringing back all the members. Fleetwood Mac is a band, not one of Stevie's back-up bands, doll.

And, thankfully, Stevie got her **** together and made great music again.

She used a song she hadn't written, one that made absolutely no sense, and another that I consider to be utter garbage. She was there for days, whereas everyone else was there for months. If that's effort, then I stand by my assessment that Lindsey is vastly underrated.
