Anyone else not care for Lindsey's Tusk stuff?

As for the sludge comment, I guess we'll be even from now on when discussing WISYA (as we always do...).

*hehehe*

I know Jason also likes it, and I'm pretty sure Christy and Nancy do as well. And I know I've seen at least a few others mention it in their setlist wishlists, so I assumed it's a favorite of theirs.

But yeah, the two of you are definitely the ones who talk it up the most.
It's your own personal "When I See You Again."

Don't know why there's so many doors in the hallway
Don't know why I'd rather stare at the stairs
Turn me off, turn me out
But don't ask, "what's the matter, baby"

When I see you again, will you save me a place
When I see you again, will you be amazed
When I see you again, will your great eyes still say
"I"ll come running if you love me today"

Just because the club is run by elitists it doesn't mean we have an open door policy for assholes.

Check yourself!

Ladies and gentlemen, the handsome and talented Johnny Stew!


BTW - Johnny Stew this is shipperdom at its finest. The merger of LB and SN in prose because you know that is what they really meant!!!!

[cliffdweller]

The lyrics to SMAP are heart-wrenching. Therefore, I was immediately drawn to this song like a moth to a flame. When he wants to, Lindsey can pull at the old heart strings. A lot of times though, it's the way he combines nostalgic, bitter-sweet sentiment to minimal lyrics. Perfect examples are:SMAP (of course), IKINW, and TSYHA.

And then there are his angry songs...

Ah yes and remember thousands of the little fellows will be with you tonight and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. In case you feel lonely one day- you're not

But when it`s time to move on, Roy Makaay could very well be the next to be my avatar. My little Netherlands-tribute...

That's a lot better!!!!

So that'll be your new avatar until that one day this summer in Portugal. Then you're going back to the friggin' bedbug, I presume.

I am not even going to get into the issues of taste and perception vs fact that he often blurs....So yeah, as Hayley says someday he may become more mature, but until then he will surely continue to drive the discourse on this board.

Look, I am a 15-year-old, but I don't think that means I lack the maturity to understand Lindsey's music. I have ears! And to me, his stuff on Tusk doesn't sound good. I love his stuff on every other album, I just think he went a little too far on this album. I love his stuff on SYW, which is a tad "out there", but his songs on SYW still sound like music to me. His Tusk stuff sounds strange.

Also, if you think I "drive the discourse on this board" and you don't want to be involved in it, then don't open up the threads with my name under them.

Save Me A Place and The Ledge are two of Lindsey's best songs.

Really, you don't like any of Christine's stuff on Tusk? And, I agree, I like the Ledge (that is the "counting on my fingers" song, right?)

I like some of it, but for the most part, I think it's very weak. Brown Eyes and Think About Me are her best. I'm not a big fan of her '79-'82 songs, anyways.

Well unfortunately I must say this time I guess you're right. On the other hand you guys could very well use some penalty practice before the summer gets closer, right...?
Anyway I like him- the "Tor-Phantom", he's a very down to earth sympathetic guy out of the field. So here we go... with Roy

That's weird. Brown Eyes and think about me are my least favorites of Christines. I love Honey Hi, Never Forget, and Over and Over. But I guess, when I think about it. Her contributions aren't that great on this album.

[wondergirl9847]

Yeah, her Tusk songs aren't my faves either. I love Think About Me and Brown Eyes, but the others, eh. I think my fave collection of Christine songs is from Tango. I love ALL of her songs on that album. My second fave collection would be from MTM.

Yessss, now normally comes my time... I have said several times that my own copy of TUSK is without Christines tunes as I don't see them fitting into the album concept. I only left Think about me in. After the discussion we had several weeks ago I gave it a fair chance and rethought that. I still absolutely can't stand Brown eyes, Honey Hi and Never make me cry. Sorry in my opinion and ears they are awful boring. But... I have to admit that Over and over really grew on me. I like it now. Never forget is also O.K.
I also think that Stevies and Lindseys tunes build the perfect balance on Tusk as different as they are.

No, Stefan. A dutch player is just not capable of that. We have to do it in regular time. And I love ALL Christines songs on Tusk. Cause it's surrounded by out-of-sace-quality from the other two. She provides rest, cool breezes and there's some harmony on her songs that's priceless. I never skip a song on Tusk. Although it's percepted as a melting pot of individualistic outings, for me this album is a whole. An entity. For me there is no album in rock-history that is so much more than the sum of the parts as Tusk is.

If the dutch team has one-tenth of that this summer, noone's going to beat them.

Everyone seems to be doing exactly what you just did gerald... Making a statement.
