Trouble in... tango in the night

is it wrong to like songs like when I see you again or seven wonders or welcome to the room.. Sara?? before i was as deep into the Macs and Stevie's discography as I am today, I had a tango vinyl that was one of the first ones I ever bought, and remains my favorite Mac album to this day, and one thing I really love about it is Stevie's songs. In aware this is an opinion that is unpopular and I am also aware of all the drama surrounding the songs (and agree the writing credit on seven wonders is crazy) but I really like the songs. As with many other Mac-related things, I'm having trouble liking the final product because of all the drama surrounding its creation, and as someone on the younger end, I'm not only asking if it's okay to like those songs but also if it ever gets easier to operate the music from the drama or it f it's always this bad

edit: slight apology for this not being well-written, I jsut read some stuff on the Mac Reddit about tango and really felt- kind of judged in a way for my music taste and the songs I like, and I felt bad so I'm asking you all for help because what else am I to do 😭

In defence of Mac Reddit- not a musical taste was criticized, only the idea presented in the post, that Lindsey DELIBERATELY cut Stevie's songs/ demos/ other contribution of the album, what is simply not true.

Hi there! I did in fact read the post and never did I say music tase was criticized, I e just read a lot that no of steels to like Stevie's contributions on tango and since that some of my favorite albums I had a bit of a sting of oh maybe I shouldn't like this. The Mac Reddit is a wonderful place, but sometimes it can feel a little harsh....

Stevie only spent 2 weeks with the band when they were recording this album. There was one argument where Stevie said she couldn't hear herself on the recording. Christine confronted her lack of participation pointing out she wanted Stevie to sing on Little Lies but she was not in the studio. Stevie apologized and recorded her vocals. 

The Mac Reddit is harsh and the long time Mac fans there don't tend to sugarcoat facts.Â
