ALL-righty HERE is a question for you guys!
What is the BEST song on "Tusk?"
Some of you might be surprised about the opinion I've formed today -
- - - I think it might actually be "Brown Eyes!"
I'll post the reasons why I'm thinking that later but - - -

Beautiful Child
I can't argue against that - I prefer the "Live in Boston" version though, personally.
But I love how on "Tusk" at the end, Lindsey takes out her voice and puts in his own, singing, "I'm not a child, anymore . . . I'M not a child, any-more!..." (Listen close if you haven't heard that...)
VERY clever, I think.
I do really think "Brown Eyes" is worth a real close look, though - I never really appreciated that one until listening to it this morning.

Stevie and Chris songs on this album are just fantastic.
Lindsey's? ........ :shocked:
Let's just say it's a little Over My Head. ;)

Over and Over. :shocked: :lol:
I don't know from "best," but my favorite for a long time has been "I Know I'm Not Wrong." For no other reason than that it's just damn fun (lyrics notwithstanding). Love the drum beat, love that cymbal crash, love the "horns" (I'm sure they're not horns, but I've got no idea what instrument is actually making those honking sounds - anyone?), and love the way the "horns" give way to that great guitar coda. All of Lindsey's vocal manipulations and harmonizing with himself are also fantastic here.; that's really my favorite aspect of his music from this period.
Close seconds: Actually, if I start listing any, I'll end up listing 3/4 of the album.
I think one of the great accomplishments of the Tusk album is its deliberately disjointed nature. If the production of Rumours was all about taking the works of three decidedly different songwriters and giving them a single, unifying "edgy California pop" aesthetic, then it seems as though on Tusk, Richard/Ken/Lindsey set about purposefully fashioning three very different and distinct aesthetics for each of the three songwriters, and then mashing them all together. So you get "Over And Over" segueing into "The Ledge," "What Makes You Think You're The One" into "Storms," "Honey Hi" into "Beautiful Child," and on and on. You could separate the album into three EPs - one each for Lindsey, Stevie and Christine - that all sound like unified wholes, but it's the jagged contrasts of throwing all those songs and voices up against each other that makes Tusk such a masterpiece.
I do really think "Brown Eyes" is worth a real close look, though - I never really appreciated that one until listening to it this morning.
Yes yes. "Brown Eyes" is incredibly rewarding on a close listen. You really need to give your full attention to fully appreciate the atmosphere of this song and hear everything that's going on. The melody and the harmonies are just exquisitie, as is the understated rhythm provided by Mick and John, and of course Peter's guitar at the end...

All the songs are the best except for SMAP, and Over and Over. And those are still good.
My favorites are IKINW, Ledge, and AngelSOTMBC. Also NF and HH.
BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE.
SMAP and Over and Over are less good because they drag just a wee bit too much, and their notage is a wee bit too bland.
Eff off, Jyqm.

I love Christine's "over" songs -- Over My Head, Over and Over, Only Over You, All Over Again.
Those are great songs! And I Know I'm Not Wrong about this!!

Something by Lindsey I'd say it would be for me. I love his style on this album (on all of them actually). The mood of those songs is just something that really strikes a chord with me. All of Lindsey's songs (on all albums) just appeal to me so much.
On Tusk I also really like Beautiful Child but like the Live In Boston version better. Brown Eyes is also one of the best Chris songs.
Forshorn
04-29-2006, 07:07 PM
This may be a bit unusual but I dig those lush, ethereal harmonies on "That's All for Everyone." Maybe Lindsey can be a bit of a Brian Wilson imitator at times, but... sometimes the imitation is better than the real thing.
DownOnRodeo
04-29-2006, 08:06 PM
Stevie Sara
Christine Over & Over
Lindsey I Know I'm Not Wrong
Other top ones: Angel, Not That Funny
Beautiful Child and Sisters of the Moon have grown on me thanks to live versions and the Tusk outtake cd.

04-29-2006, 08:46 PM
I would have to say Storms for me.
Sara
Hands down. It's six minutes of perfection. It is my favorite song in the world. It is the song which introduced me to this wonderful band. It got me through a lot of ****ty times. Musically, it's gorgeous. What else can I say.
Now if only that 16 minute version would surface...I would die happy.

if i could only listen to one song from tusk for the rest of my life, it would have to be beautiful child.
but, to be fair, of lindsey's, i'd pick the ledge.
of chris', i'd pick brown eyes.
TheBlueLamp
04-30-2006, 12:26 AM
Stevie - Sara
Christine - Over & Over
Lindsey - That's All For Everyone
And then out of those three I'd have to pick Sara as the best/favourite.
That's a lot of Stevie, but, honestly, my favorite songs on Tusk are Storms, Sara and Beautiful Child. And probably (3 of my) favorite FM songs overall.
However I like most of the other songs as well.

While I LOVE "Brown Eyes", I'd have to "Angel"....it's one of my all-time favorite FM songs...
OK, apart from my favorite Stevie songs that I mentioned yesterday, my favorite Lindsey songs are IKINW and Tusk.
As for Christine's, I like Brown Eyes a lot, and (don't flame me!) if it weren't for all the "cha la la", it would probably be my favorite Christine song (apart from You make loving fun).

Everyone has listed great songs, but I can't believe no one has said the title track yet!
TUSK is my favorite song on Tusk. It's entirely original. Nothing like it in the FM catalog--or in popular rock in general. hearing it always gets me revved up.
runner up: Stevie's "Angel."

I would have to say that it is a toss up between Sara and Beautful Child or Storms. Stevie's Vocals are top notch. Sometimes late at night when I can't sleep I play Tusk on Vinyl and when Storms plays it sounds so haunting and chilling.

Yeah, sometimes when I can't sleep I put Tusk on. Not the vinyl, b/c I'd probably wake someone up. But I often manage to fall asleep during Sara. Isn't it like a lullaby.

Fav. Stevie: Sara or Storms
Fav. Christine: Never Forget or Think About Me
Fav. Lindsey: The Ledge, That's Enough for me, I know I'm Not Wrong, or Tusk

Either Beautiful Child or Storms or What Makes You Think You're the One, for me.
Tusk is by far the best and the most interesting song on the album.
also, the following 3 -
Walk A Thin Line
What Makes You Think You're the One
Sisters of the Moon
i love many other songs on that album, but these would be the ones i'd rate the highest if we are looking for the best song.
HelloMonster
12-23-2012, 08:55 PM
Sisters of the Moon for its high energy, Tusk for the almost ritualistic rhythm, and Beautiful Child for the emotion.
FierySequences
12-23-2012, 09:42 PM
wow very tough decision as I love 90% of Tusk, I can't pick just one!
Individually: Tusk for the innovative, left of center rock...but the same could be said of The Ledge
Beautiful Child, no words can describe it's glory
Never Forget, love the harmonies and arrangement; Chris really took into consideration the strengths of the individuals on this one and I love her for it.
and the best song on Tusk is: Over and Over
Love the slow push, classic Mac bass that leads the erie, mysterious album and band in a whole new direction. The vocals and harmonies on this one really shine through and showcase the members at their best. Each member has an equal contribution to this song....almost like The Chain (unhinged) but Chris reels them all back in with her tender heartfelt lyrics and grounds them into making a fantastic journey of an album they named Tusk.
Hard, but I say...
What Makes You Think You're The One!!
Then Brown Eyes, Sisters of the Moon, and Save me a Place.
I prefer the Live version of Over & Over and Not That Funny.
Regards!

I agree totally, the track is such a pleasurable sonic journey and captures the talent of each of the 5 beautifully, hands down also Christine McVie's best composition. My desert island song. :angel:

Even though Lindsey's songs are my favourite on Tusk as a whole, Sara and Over and Over are my favourites.
Christine - Over and Over
Stevie - Sara
Lindsey - What Makes You Think You're the One
Christine's Brown Eyes is another one of my favourites from her, so much emotion. And Sisters of the Moon is powerful as f***; my dad was praising the ground Stevie walked on when I first bought Tusk in my teen years and would play it when I still lived at home. And Walk a Thin Line and Save Me a Place deserve a shoutout as they just hit me pretty hard emotionally. I can definitely relate to them sometimes as well as That's All For Everyone.

For me, Storms. It is the only song that has ever made me cry. Most of the lyrics align perfectly with a horrible situation I grew up with, so that song is like therapy.

Beautiful Child walks it.
Blueletter18
03-06-2013, 08:48 AM
Well, this is definitely a tough one for me. My favorite is Sara, but I think the best might be Walk A Thin Line.
I agree- I admire the way Lindsey was able to meld the three voices for the "ooh-aahs" (as shown in the Tusk documentary). I've really grown to appreciate Lindsey's songs on Tusk, and now they're some of my favorites from all of his FM work. Of course, Sara is perfection to me. As far as Christine's songs go, I feel like they're so underrated on this album! I do think Brown Eyes wins best song, but Never Forget, Over My Head, and Think About me are ALL amazing, yet so different from one another.

03-06-2013, 11:37 AM
The best song on Tusk is "Tusk". Stevie's best is "Sara". Coincidence that those were their two most esoteric hits. I think my favorite Chris song is "Honey Hi" but I'm not sure if it's her best.
Tusk has a dozen standouts and a good half dozen are masterpieces.
1. That's Enough for Me
2. Walk a Thin Line
3. Never Forget

1. That's Enough for Me

3. Never Forget
I highly respect you for those choices. I simply cannot point out a best song. Not even ten best songs. I may be able to make a 20 best songs-list in no order, That's all.
Even though Lindsey's songs are my favourite on Tusk as a whole, Sara and Over and Over are my favourites.
Christine - Over and Over
Stevie - Sara
Lindsey - What Makes You Think You're the One
Christine's Brown Eyes is another one of my favourites from her, so much emotion.

Agree 100% with you!!!!! :thumbsup:
I think Sisters of the Moon is the best of Stevie, but Over & Over and WMYTYTO are amazing works of Chris and Lindsey!
It's a very difficult question, so I only could say one for each writter:
- Christine: Brown Eyes (just because I think the Live version of Over & Over is a bit better)
- Stevie: Sisters of the Moon
- Lindsey: What Makes You Think You're The One
lettucesoap
03-08-2013, 08:47 AM
For me it's probably Never Forget. I love the way Christine sings that line "the stars must be my friends to shine for me" (which always strikes me as a rather Stevie-esque lyric) and the backing vocal harmonies are lovely. But super close second would be Sisters of The Moon. It's dramarama-y and moody and... yeah.
I do like most of the songs on Tusk a lot though to be honest, I rarely skip over any of them. I like it even more now I've finally got it on vinyl too.
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Angel
Storms
Walk a Thin Line
That's All For Everyone

And entirely possible. I'm actually surprised by my consistency in this instance.
I don't know from "best," but my favorite for a long time has been "I Know I'm Not Wrong." For no other reason than that it's just damn fun (lyrics notwithstanding). Love the drum beat, love that cymbal crash, love the "horns" (I'm sure they're not horns, but I've got no idea what instrument is actually making those honking sounds - anyone?), and love the way the "horns" give way to that great guitar coda. All of Lindsey's vocal manipulations and harmonizing with himself are also fantastic here.; that's really my favorite aspect of his music from this period.
Close seconds: Actually, if I start listing any, I'll end up listing 3/4 of the album.
I think one of the great accomplishments of the Tusk album is its deliberately disjointed nature. If the production of Rumours was all about taking the works of three decidedly different songwriters and giving them a single, unifying "edgy California pop" aesthetic, then it seems as though on Tusk, Richard/Ken/Lindsey set about purposefully fashioning three very different and distinct aesthetics for each of the three songwriters, and then mashing them all together. So you get "Over And Over" segueing into "The Ledge," "What Makes You Think You're The One" into "Storms," "Honey Hi" into "Beautiful Child," and on and on. You could separate the album into three EPs - one each for Lindsey, Stevie and Christine - that all sound like unified wholes, but it's the jagged contrasts of throwing all those songs and voices up against each other that makes Tusk such a masterpiece.
Tusk does not get the credit it deserves, but I'd have to say that right now is Save Me A Place. The live version is perfect. Ask me again tomorrow, & you will probably get a different response. Yesterday it was Sisters Of the Moon. Hahah.

Sara, Angel, and Never Forget are also amazing.

Matt Lucas

Oh, it could change on any day of the week, but most days, it would probably be "Sara" or "What Makes You Think You're the One."
"Sara," to me, is one of the best examples of the FM groove. They play so well together on that song, and it just feels right. I love the double-tracked piano, each one panned to opposite sides of the stereo spectrum. If I'm not mistaken, there's not a single cymbal crash on that song, which is very unusual for a hit pop/rock song. The layered vocals, guitars, and keyboards are lovely.
Back in the early days of MTV, they used to play the live version of "Sara." I have to admit, I wasn't much of an FM fan back then [I got better!], but I always liked "Sara."
"What Makes You Think You're the One," on the other hand, is wonderfully random. It almost feels more like a jam or rehearsal than a final take. I smile every time I hear Lindsey sing, "And it won't last forever...!" The way he twists the pitch upward as he sings "won't" is hilarious...like someone stepped on his foot or hit him with a jolt of electricity...! It's just a fun, exuberant song.

I love how one song turned into three or four.
I will cheat too ;)
Brown Eyes, Storms, Sara, Think about me
Brown Eyes was ruined for me years ago, by some ledgie pointing out the "double entendre" meaning of Brown Eyes.
Think About Me might be pop schmaltz, but I will die loving it! Forever my favorite!

Amen! I think 'Think About Me' is second only to 'Hold Me' as my favorite Christine FM song. Of course it could also be 'You Make Loving Fun' or 'Say You Love Me' or 'Love in Store' or 'Everywhere'...
Chris has so many irresistible pop schmaltz goodies it's hard to pick.

Angel. :)

Listened to Tusk just this morning.....
Angel still does it for me, has always been one of my favourite Mac songs.
Still is and is my pick of the Tusk songs.

Yep, 'Angel' is a true gem, I've always loved it, although this amazing live performance has easily outstripped the studio version. Stevie's dancing, grinning and grin-inducing delight at Lindsey's harmony vocals as they share a mike. Wonderful.

I love the live version(s) to me the Album version is just a touch too slow...
Love to see Stevie doing her Charleston type of dancing too..

And to think that that's why it's one of my favourite songs. It's hard to find a song that is tastefully sexy.

You DO understand that a "brown eye" is a butt hole, right? Just making sure there's not a language/culture differentiation going on here...?

LMAO
I almost spit out my drink. When I saw Sisternightroad's post yesterday....I thought she was being sarcastic. I knew what you meant and remember those posts.

Oh, is it? Ah ah ah!! Yes, usually the butt hole it's not referenced that way in my mother language, but if I thought about it long enough I guess I could have caught on that; I think I wasn't on the board yet when these discussions were happening.
However I think the song really can't be considered about that kind of "brown eye" since it's plural and it clearly talks about one man, unless Dennis Wilson hid a monstruous secret...

See, and the more you consider it, the worse it gets!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
And she never said it was one person's brown eye staring her down. It could be an army of brown eyes!
You're welcome! :lol:

Nah, "and are you just another liar?" is clearly singular, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that Dennis Wilson had a spare.

A spare brown eye? Well now I've heard it all! Moses smell the roses!!!:lol:
I CAN say though, that I can see how a spare Tusk could come in handy!

I think Over and Over is arguably the best live song from Tusk.
Then Sisters of the Moon Mirage version, too.
Just so hard to pick.. uhhh

Over and Over live is in another world of its own. If the live version was on the album then its an easy pick. I like the album song but its nowhere near the live version. The album version seems very mechanical IMHO. However, I had the Live album before Tusk so it was the first version I heard.
