View Full Version : ROUND 1: Lindsey Buckingham Survivor: 21st Century Edition

I thought it would be fun to celebrate Lindsey's achievements this decade by running a Survivor Challenge of his released studio tracks. The rules are simple, vote to eliminate one track from each album. When we're down to one track per album, those three tracks will battle for survival. The champ title: Lindsey Buckingham's best track in the 21st Century (so far). May the best Buck win! I will try to update this every day at noon. You have 24 hours.

It's too hard for me to pick a GOS song! I still love them all so much! I guess I'll go with Did You Miss Me.
From SYW, as much as this pains me, What is the world coming to
From UtS, the one song of his I just cannot stand, Flying Down Juniper
From GoS, Treason
This is tough

SYW: Come
UTS: Not Too Late
GOS: Bel Air Rain (this is too hard. I don't know what I'm doing)...I really love this album.
*Note: Love Minus Zero/No Limit should not be on the list as it is not actually a part of the album. Sneaky. ;-)

I have a red 2 CD pack that has Love Minus Zero on it. But it's a special edition and not commerically released? (Ebay find.)

If the album cover you're speaking of looks like this, it was commercially released and it's still available. It was marketed as a Limited Edition, with the bonus tracks. Since Say You Will was not a big seller, it is readily available through normal channels (eBay, Amazon)

I believe what you have IS the studio version. For some reason it's been mislabeled as being live.

Yes, I got mine from Amazon and it is one of the most annoying things ever released, the way it is packaged, with things falling out and not fitting back in. I'd like to throw it up against a wall, which is something I think I DID do to my Tusk album almost 30 years ago.
Yes, today, I honor the Tusk packaging as a valued, cherished antique, but when I first got the thing and I couldn't make the albums fit back in their inner sleeves, I began to have murderous thoughts.

I much prefer the limited edition version cover and packaging. Very clean and I like the simplicity. SYW, with them looking like corpses didn't work for me.
Now Tusk...oooh what a brilliant thing that design was. I have a litho of the Peter Beard work. It's my favorite piece of art I have. I took a pic of it without the frame (sorry not a great shot)

Next to Mirage, that SYW cover was my favorite. I would like Lindsey to say how they came up with the Double Suicide theme. Michele

Nope the version I have is Played Live With Loads of talking from Lindsey before the song and at the end. It was Live in Phoenix. I will upload it if any wants to hear it.
Peacekeeper (never been emotional over it)
Not Too Late (just don't like it)
Bel Air Rain (doesn't offend me in the slightest, but since I had to choose...)

Here's my votes:
Peacekeeper (:sorry:, war songs bore me...yawn Jacob!):wavey:hi nico!
Not Too Late (don't think it's horrible, but it can go)
Did You Miss Me (should have been on a FM album)

Here's my votes:
(:sorry:, war songs bore me...yawn Jacob!):wavey:hi nico!
It's JaKob, get it straight. And I find many war-themed songs to be compelling, full of depth, and in many cases a rewarding listen. Peacekeeper really isn't. For me. But I imagine many thought it was the cat's meow at one point because it has an appealingly commercial quality to it. And a strong hook (whom many have also claimed was ripped from Paul Simon's catalog).
Well, Mr. 3rd World...acquired taste and all. I could say about the same thing for some others *cough*ToddRundgrenthesedays*cough*:xoxo::D

I'm anout 95 percent sure Peacekeeper is NOT a war song.
