IMO, Tusk belongs to my category of "songs that are unique and no other song written before or after is similar". A friend of mine and I used to actually have a list of all those songs. We would include all songs that might be or might not be typical of a certain artist but do not resemble any other song. Usually they are songs that no matter how many times I listen to them, I cannot for the life of me figure where the inspiration came from. And by that I don't mean "what the song is about" etc.
Then again, I am not a musician myself, so maybe I 'm getting it all wrong.
(Edge of seventeen is another one on my list..Or, as far as other artists go, "Innuendo" by Queen, or Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter")
