I don't think I'm enough of an adult - or a contemporary, for that matter - to understand what people find so special about Sara.

It's got nothing to do with being adult or contemporary -- it's spectral, subversive, obscure.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 11 June 2007 01:49 (sixteen years ago) link

See, I can't hear the subversion. And I admit this opinion is probably entirely a failing on my behalf, seeing as the consensus seems to favor it overwhelming, but I prefer every Nicks song on the album to Sara.

I think that one of my main complaints is that, for whatever reason, the piano riff sounds to me like the theme song for some sitcom that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'll have to put this one on repeat.

I can't believe I was the only vote for "Honey Hi."

ian, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Likewise with "Over and Over."

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link

ONE vote for Over & Over??? Say it isn't so! That is WRONG

Bimble, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Christine didn't get a fair shake in general, in my opinion.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, when I show up at your houses with my Christine picket signs, you won't be happy.

Bimble, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:40 (sixteen years ago) link

This may help, king kong.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 11 June 2007 11:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Please don't picket me, I voted for "Brown Eyes."

The Deacon, Monday, 11 June 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link

t/s: brown eyes v. emerald eyes

"Tusk"!!! WTF.

Steve Shasta, Monday, 11 June 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm surprised so many people are taken aback by how well "Tusk" did. I have pretty close to zero tolerance for any Fleetwood Mac outside of "Tusk" which I've loved since I was a kid.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 11 June 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link

"Tusk" is a special song, and I think it holds up well today.

Bimble, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link

"Walk a Thin Line" (Buckingham) – 3:48 4

^wtf

sleep, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link

only 4??

I can't understand love for Christine McVie's songs, shit is boring.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Christine McVie is like the endpoint minimal techno of Fleetwood Mac: you come around to her after you're exhausted/burnt out on everything else and she suddenly sounds like the best thing ever.

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link

OTM. I won't deny that she's a snooze on her own, but the word "context" was meant for her.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Are any McVie solo albums worth picking up? i assume from that post the answer is no.

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Download "Got A Hold On Me." That's all you need.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link

"never make me cry" is one of my favorite songs on this record

"sara" would've gotten my vote ultimately

impudent harlot, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link

one month passes...

I'm sorry, I've really looked through a lot of threads on Fleetwood Mac and I can't find the bit where someone turned me on to the 1980 live stuff. The version of "Dreams" on that is to die for.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh my GOD if the live 1980 version of "Rhiannon" doesn't curl your toes...nothing will.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link

That enthusiasm!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Tusk is Lindsay's show as far as I'm concerned.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I know there are folks who feel that way, but ignore Christine???? Christ we could fight all night about this. I choose peace.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Big Lindsay show on "Oh well" on this 1980 live thing. Yay-uh. Fabulous stuff.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm only half there on the McVie entries. I mean, Over and Over is obviously fantastic, and so is Honey Hi and Brown Eyes, but she almost cancels it out with Think About Me, am I the only one squarely annoyed by this song? A lot of it may have to do with the production on it, I don't think Buckingham really got this one. At all.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay, I really want to hear this by the way.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link

has this thread always been called Best song on "Tusk" - Fleetwood Nac

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Fleetwood Nac, there you go. Brillaint.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Look, this live 1980 thing as almost as good as heroin, I imagine. Don't deprive yourself.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

That's very good, but you're not telling me anything else about it!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

And I care, I really do!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN CALL IT ANOTHER LONELY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Dude, there's only like 4 other bands as good as Fleetwood Mac in the whole world. Serious.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I KNOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEEEEEEEEEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link

DROWNDED IN THE CITY OF LOVE

Call me home. Listen to the freakin' reggae guitar on the live version!!! It's a freakin' orgasm is what it is.

Back on topic, how did "That's all for everyone" place second? It's easily the worst track.

robertwolf8080, Sunday, 15 July 2007 18:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Uhh, missed this one. My vote for "Walk A Thin line" went missing too :(

*meanwhile on the same planet: man goes n'orders 'hmself a christine mcvie solo album*

t**t, Sunday, 15 July 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Sara??? seriously? I like at least 8 songs on Tusk for than that one (basically all of Lindsey's). I'm sad that "That's Enough for Me" got the goose egg. And "Save Me a Place" with 1 vote? What is this world coming to?
