I consider TUSK the greatest album of all time--three distinct perspectives on romance at their artistic peak aligned, not by the radical soap-opera narrative of RUMOURS, but by the buoying sound of a strings-like harmonizing. It constitutes a total social vision.
But I couldn't bring myself to celebrate its 40th anniversary with a listening session.
They broke my heart, so I don't know how my ears will hear it now.
It may be overtaken in my estimation by Roxy Music's SIREN--the most perfect expression of the most refined (romantic) sensibility of the 20th Century. It's a great album about desire and heartbreak that can be heard without suffering the personal betrayal of heartbreak.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
