[Description of WMYTYTO by Austin Kleon, as he concocts a music playlist for his book]

Fleetwood Mac - "What Makes You Think You're The One?"

After their album Rumours was a big hit, Fleetwood Mac went nuts and spent a million dollars recording their coked-up followup, Tusk. Lindsey Buckingham went particularly crazy, listened to a bunch of punk rock records, chopped his hair off, and did whatever he could to *not* make Tusk sound anything like Rumours. He cut a lot of the songs as demos at home, then tried to duplicate them himself in the studio, but he let Mick Fleetwood and John McVie play on this track. It's the sound of a man unhinged—trying desperately to struggle out of the straightjacket he's been put in by his own success.
