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

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.

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
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.

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!

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

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

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

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?
