I agree with the article, but it is not necessarily applicable when Meat is doing non-Jim albums, because each writer is probably writing very few songs for it. James Michael was only involved with three, wasn't he? But of course, any number of songs which someone suggests, will be debatable. There isn't any way to determine an optimum number.
Bat 1, which many would put in the same category as Born To Run (which the article mentions) as being one of the greatest classic albums, only has seven songs.
The article mentions 10 which I think is a good number.
