I think I find it really hard to compare songs on a good, better, best scale from era to era. It's hard for me to smack Tango up against SYW. They seem like completely different genres.

Ken Caillat wasn't a band member. He was a technician, an engineer, a producer, but ultimately an employee and so I don't really understand the "hostage" allusion coming from him. It wasn't Lindsey's job to mold his work into a Middle of the Road shape that Ken would not find too "grungy." Michele |

So true. I wish we would have gotten the original GOS, instead of the songs spread out of over 3 albums.

Do we know what the intended running order was for GOS? I know which songs were recorded for it, but I don't know Lindsey's exact track list.

I appreciate a lingering, nuanced delivery, but I need it in a song that has melody. I mean, I think of Christine's Calumney and it's out of this world. Her voice is like an old oak tree whose branches creek a little when they bend. She's going "torn the petals drop" and I feel, sense the resistance when you pluck something blooming from a living thing. Rip away a leaf from a vibrant stem that it doesn't want to leave, when you hurt it, just to make a point -- to prove that their love is gone. I think she ought to win an Oscar for that delivery, really and Say Goodbye doesn't make me experience anything like that, especially not if the live version had been on the record. On the record, the fact that it's faster is an aid for me. Also, the fact that it is followed by Goodbye Baby. That sets a tone that I appreciate more than if the song had stood alone. Michele |

Funny you mentioned Never Going Back Again. I can agree with you for that song, which Lindsey's been performing in that manner for a long time, right? When was the last time he performed it closer to the sound of the studio version? I also see your point of how the song fits on the album before Goodbye Baby. I just think Lindsey's approach for Say Goodbye works for the song, and Stevie's presence totally helps and emphasizes the meaning. But maybe it all comes down to me having heard the live version before hearing the studio recording, which made me appreciate Lindsey's interpretation of the song more for the former.

I'm not sure if we know what the official tracklisting was intended to be. I think I remember "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind" was supposed for the opening track, but that could be my imagination. Gerald, maybe you remember?

Tusk, and Mirage.
Tusk, you know, there's nothing new to say... I didn't choose Rumours or '75 Fleetwood Mac because they're representative for Lindsey, Chris and Stevie as songwriters and musicians. But, Tusk is THE album of Lindsey. About Tango, yes, he was one of the producers, but there's something that really never convinced me about it. And Mirage is my second choice because he did a great job with Tusk and Law & Order, and then with Go Insane. I know his songs in Mirage are not the most popular, but they have interesting arrangements, and with all the demos that exist, you can prove that. I can't explain it better... Regards |

Tusk is an obvious choice. I picked Rumours because I love all of his material on it, and his instrumentation and arranging skills elsewhere are also excellent. But I could have picked SYW or Tango, both of which show LB stretching out and covering a lot of musical moods, unlike on Rumours where his three songs seem like attractive, athletic biological brothers.

this was a hard one.
because Lindsey has his best work on every album. he's always been MVP in FM. Tusk is the obvious frontrunner. After that, hard to say. |

Well I voted for Rumours and Tusk. Rumours has a solid three songs and Tusk is basically all Lindsey's idea/masterpiece, even his working/production on Stevie/Christine songs. Tusk isn't my favorite album and Lindsey's songs aren't ever my favorite, but this isn't about "favorites" but about what is "best". Tango in the Night was high on my Lindsey best list, as he crafted a whole unique sound throught that album. I almost went with Rumours and Tango.

Well, Think About Me is an exception. I do think that that song could easily slip onto any FM album without seeming out of place. Michele |

Tusk gets first place and Rumours gets second, although Say You Will made a strong attempt at second.
