Best song on "Tusk" - Fleetwood Nac

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.

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

This may help, king kong.

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

t/s: brown eyes v. emerald eyes

"Tusk"!!! WTF.

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.

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

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

^wtf

only 4??

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

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.

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

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

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

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

"sara" would've gotten my vote ultimately

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.

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

That enthusiasm!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Fleetwood Nac, there you go. Brillaint.

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

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

And I care, I really do!

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

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

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

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.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHH!

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 :(

THANKYOU! Its Lindsey's worst at least.

same planet, different worlds

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

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?

yeah opinions and assholes etc...

for = more

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.

This song is fabulous, one of those great Christine-Lindsey collabs that melds his talent for subversion with her melodic smarts and sexual heat. I just love how the guitar sounds, especially after the second chorus. John does his trademark rock-steady thumping until he plays a few extra notes as the guitar plays major chords. As for the chorus, it's one of those Bernard Sumner-esque moments of lucidity that looks stupid on paper ("I don't hold you down/Maybe that's why you're around") but accrues more meaning when you don't separate it from the arrangement.

It took me a while to warm to this song (it was the third single too), but now it's probably Christine's best punchy rocker.

I think what is great about that couplet is the fact that both singers sound like they only realise the second line after they've sung the first. It's fabulous.

That said "What Makes You Think You're The One" is the song most cruelly robbed by this poll.
