Default Masterpiece

I think most fans consider the original Gift of Screws (bootlegs circulating, cannabalized into several records, Under The Skin, Say You Will, the official Gift of Scews, etc.) as the masterpiece that never was.

Strongly dislike "Come" and don't much care for "What's The World Coming To" (complaint rock), "Red Rover," "Peacekeeper," or that too-fast arrangement of "Say Goodbye" (though I like the song).

thanks for this thread! always happy to talk about GOS1 - the most spectacular LB solo album that never happened.

i bolded songs a love - so basically your opening and ending song choices i cannot stand but all others would be in my pick as well.

What's The World Coming to was not on the original GOS and doesn't deserve to be, imo. musically, i never cared for that song. and when Nicks' horrible nasal voice come in, my ears just start to bleed and i have to skip to another song, if i haven't immediately after the song started already.

adore Lindsey's version of Love Minus Zero (also not on original GOS). his little ornate guitar parts add something special to it. very different from Clapton's version, for example.

never care for Say Goodbye - the fast or the slow version. such schmaltz. in fact, the very definition of schmaltz. no Lindsey, no.

interesting. you are selecting many of the songs that are fantastic but different from decades old mac formula. and that's fine if one likes formula, something familiar to wrap you in its warmth.

Come and Red Rover are amazing songs, and propelling Mac and Lindsey's music forward instead of keep on running to stand still. WTWCT i already bashed above, so i'm with you there. musically WYWCT and Peacekeeper (Mac version) are regular run of the mill songs. lyrics-wise, they are way forward for Lindsey, instead of i-love-you/you-don't-love-me stuff that Mac's 3 classic songwriters became famous for. while i can't stand WTWCT, i actually love Peacekeeper, especially the much faster solo version.

That is why I don’t want an acoustic COVID-19 concert. Because Lindsey would be ‘saying goodbye‘ for 90 minutes in a whisper voice.

You say goodbye to me strum, strum, strum. I say good bye to you strum. Strum, strum. You say good bye to me, strum, strum, strum ...”


I’d have to kill myself.

But I enjoyed the song in concert because Stevie and Lindsey were very cute together. Oh don’t hate. They were cute. Too bad she’s dead now.

You managed to make me laugh twice today. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to check out some Wolfgang melodies. I think I'll play the 40th Symphony. That's one of my fav's

"Everyone's gone to the moon / What's the world coming to" is IMO just awful. And much of the verse lyrics are, again IMO, Lindsey at his most self-pitying – a truly unattractive trait.

Oh, you know, I'm following Stevie's steps. I don't have to feel remorse because I think I didn't do anything wrong at all…

She would be proud of me.
