50 great things about Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk"

77.

Real savage-like

ಥ﹏ಥ (cankles), thanks! That just roolz!

78. Lindsey, on the reaction Warner Bros. execs had after hearing the finished album: "They could hear their Christmas bonuses flying out the window."

79. Lindsey again, on the mode of transport employed by the Mac on the European lag of the Tusk tour: "It's not like we asked for Hitler's train."

Sometimes I think I play this album TOO often. It's a good one for breakups, that's for sure.

80. ..a nearly-chorusless mix of tribal (but not danceable) drumming, marching bands and monkey yells over a bed of what sounds like thousands of dogs sneezing very far away...

81. The fact that when this album was issued, it was quite expensive, and now you can get pristine copies in any well-stocked Music-themed charity shop for £3 tops.

82. The fact that -- despite two or three cd reissues of it -- vinyl is still the way to go on this one.

It's a good one for breakups, that's for sure.

Maybe too good that it's bad... :-(

Bump.

i run across a fair number of (people with traditional and boring musical tastes) who still think this album is awful and prefer Tango in the Night.

83. Becuase the final score is Buckingham 9, McVice 6 and Nicks 5 ... and that balance is just perfect.

Tango In The Night Is pretty great but its :

Tusk>Rumours>Mirage>Fleetwood Mac>Say You Will>Tango In the Night

Just bought this on vinyl for 3 euros... Awesome packaging!

also bought rumours for 3 euros too..

I wish I was back where you are!

Mirage over Fleetwood Mac?!?

Just bought this on vinyl for 3 euros... Awesome packaging!

also bought rumours for 3 euros too..

I want an update on this

i listened to this at work tonight, and i now know the single greatest thing about tusk is the amazingly cute girl in a short skirt and boots who got up and began dancing (in a kinda sexy line-dance fashion) and singing along to "angel"

See the thing is I KNOW I love Kate Bush more than her, and I know I love Christine McVie more than her, too. But I'm on this trip right now with Stevie, she is the queen of my world right now. I can't shake her magic. And I know I've got to get over it. But I can't stop.

I occasionaly wonder if there's a Fleetwood Mac/Swans connection

Other week I played music trivia onstage at a bar, and a question was "What Fleetwood album is the song 'Tusk' on?" Nailed it.

HAHAHAHHA

in the sea of love

She's the goth queen, you know she is. Her and Nico are gonna have to fight it out in the pub.

Stevie & Nico, fighting it out in a pub for queen of Goth. God, that's ugly. I don't even want to see that.

MMmmmmmm never going back again.

Very sexual song. Gotta love it!

It is easy to think dont make me wait 4 sex but after seeing Lindsey act it out is his issues with wimen needing a longer time to 'O' and some times a man simply just wants to let er rip! I am sure the sex and make uo sex were often but maybe thei is a tune about being 'pressured' kindof the sounds one makes when things dont go as "planned". am I wrong could Stevie have been a uptight twice a week woman? imho I think more like expectations. Sure is fun to watch and wonder...Mic does look Ripped!

sure is fun to watch and wonder.

I like this remix Cut Copy did of "Never Forget"
Fleetwood Mac - Never Forget _Cut Copy Lifelike Remix_.mp3 - 3.85MB

i think that's just a portion of a cut copy mix, where 'never forget' goes into 'so electric' by lifelike

The best thing is that they will never need to re-issue the vinyl.

89. Lindsey's harmonies on "Beautiful Child"

90. First "flop" LP whose flopness I became decisively aware of ('79 was the year I'd started reading music magazines.)

yep that's definitely the 90th greatest thing about fleetwood mac's "tusk"

250,000. The ultimate ILM album

a friend finally sent me this album, and somehow it has that sound that i love, of wind passing through an empty house

<8

90th place on a list of 50 could definitely be improved upon, obv

xxxpost

This album is so amazing that I've bought and given a lot of time to all their subsequent full band and solo releases.

(91?)

no

TUSK SIDE D

91. the durutti column-esque guitar in brown eyes

92. the spacemen 3 ("ode to street hassle") guitar in "storm"

me: 'you're the poet in my heart"!?!>!>! puh-leaeze
Pete: aww but it's lady-to-lady
thats how ladies talk to each other

93. The title track is the only Fleetwood Mac song I like.

Get outta this thread.

seriously.

i don't think i've ever heard such a perfect frisson of sadness and wonder as is Beautiful Child. my boyfriend put it on at a sleepover the other night. i was standing on a chair, singing, and my girl Marissa was swaying on the floor, passing me a bowl. "and i'll do as i'm told | even if i never hold you again" broke my heart into pieces.
