Mick's always drummed on at least one Buck solo track; the two are tight.

until I read the Zollo interview a few years ago I assumed the manic drumming was Buck's.

I've gotta run out and show a customer some wines (so I can pay for my internet and keep this poll going, ha), but I'll roll out #25-21 in about an hour or so.

yeat I was trying to think what the characteristics of each FM member's wine would be. Like Lindsey's wine would probably never make it out of his cellar because most batches would fail to meet his exacting requirements
― Lee626, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 20:12 (eleven years ago) link
i wish i didn't sleep through all of this (lolunemployment) but a bunch of mine just popped up
Never Going Back Again was my #1, tho it was basically interchangeable with my #2. picked it over that one bc i figured it might need the help. i don't really have a good reason to love it except that it's one of those songs that i have to listen to 5+ times in a row whenever i hear it, and i just fall for it so deeply each time. it's so simple, just gorgeous guitar + lindsey's biting vox. love the way he makes his 'k' and 'g' sounds so vicious, and the pure brattiness of the line "you don't know what it means to win." rumours was seriously such a bratty record.
I Don't Want to Know was my #3. i also listen to it on repeat whenever it comes on. if i were in a band we would cover it at every performance. the whole thing is so damn light but the chorus! that weird rising tension that just keeps going and going and getting more breathless until it plateaus back to I DON'T WANNA KNOW...

jon via chi, you can't really go wrong with any fleetwood mac album up to and including 'tango in the night' imo. the best thing about grabbing all of those albums is if you didn't know any better you'd think you were listening to 4 different bands.

....sometimes on the same record!
― Lee626, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
also gave points to I Know I'm Not Wrong, 100% because of that sound (harmonica? fiddle) that makes the song sound like it escaped the Sandinista! track listing and burrowed into Tusk.
And Storms! I love Stevie's tendency to build entire songs around one melody repeated over and over again (Sara and Gypsy also placed on my ballot duh). it's so meditative and calm and sad but there's that that tension again, and it seems perfect that the lyrics that hinge on "I have always been a storm" when the arrangement sounds, at most, like heavy rainfall. stevie's voice changes everything.

Love "The Ledge" so much. One of the most paranoid-sounding songs I've ever heard.

"The Ledge" gives me agita... But I like it. Only Lindsey could make such a strange, busy melody so catchy.

The Ledge is a perfect reintroduction to lindsey, he sounds so much YOUNGER than he does when you last hear him on rumours.

Haha, Storms-Brown Eyes-Ledge is a great run-of-three! One evening in 2003 I set The Ledge on repeat for hours and tried being paranoid and daring myself to go down to Brixton and score some coke. I didn't of course, it'd've been most unlike me, but I did get to feeling rather *on edge* and it was hard to get to sleep afterwards.
