For YEARS I had the impression that I was the only one on earth who thought that Tusk was this artistic masterpiece ahead of it's time, but thank to the internet I found a few soulmates around here that share my view. Phew.

Oh yes, I've had endless discussions with people who thought Rumours was the second coming and just didn't understand what Tusk was all about. If they even knew that album existed. The discussion usually started out with, oh, is that where that song Sara came from?
I made so many people copies of it I was determined to let people see this side of the band instead of having them only be familiar with the likes of the more commercially driven albums like Rumours and Tango. My dad, who is basically the one that taught
me about music, for years was convinced that Fleetwood Mac was a band for women, with poppy tunes to dance and sing along to (blame it on the Christine hits, they were the biggest ones here). Imagine my surprise when I delved into it a little deeper and discovered a whole new side. And heh, did I show him. Tusk is his favorite now.
