Bin Laden's dead and its time for Tusk!!! :woohoo: :blob1:

This is tough...I dunno if I can do this, b/c Tusk is an album where I like every song, and none of them have been so overplayed that I'm sick of them (like Don't Stop & Go Your Own Way from Rumours).

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge; Tusk; most of LB's songs, I guess - but it's a good wacky. :)

Sick to death of - I'm not really sick of any of them.

What the hell were they thinking! - Can't say that about any of them.

Much better performed live - Sisters of the Moon, maybe.

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - Shut your mouth!

Overall least favorite - Tusk

[darklinensuit]

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge, only because they’re so specific to describing Stevie
But if we’re including the extended Sara, that’s got to take it for the awesome cleaning lady opening. Let’s go down to the laundromat, maybe your lyrics are there.

Sick to death of – Not That Funny – feels like it’s half the Mirage concert DVD

What the hell were they thinking! – Over and Over – I have no problem with this song, but WTH were they thinking in opening a long album with such a snoozer?

Much better performed live - Angel

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album – That’s All for Everyone – it’s okay, but not distinct enough from Lindsey’s other stuff

Overall least favorite – Brown Eyes – pretty harmonies, but I just don’t like the melody

Wacky Lyrics - Tusk, The Ledge, Not That Funny (But wacky in a good way)

Sick to death of - Save Me a Place

What the hell were they thinking! - Save Me a Place! That's the only LB w/FM song that I truly dislike.

Much better performed live - Not That Funny

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - Save Me a Place is the only song that should have been cut

Overall least favorite - Save Me a Place

[vivfox]

Wacky Lyrics - none

Sick to death of - Never Make Me Cry(from day 1)

What the hell were they thinking! -The hour long live version of NTF

Much better performed live -Angel

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - none

Overall least favorite -Never Make Me Cry(barf worthy)

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge

Sick to death of - Sara

What the hell were they thinking! - The Ledge

Much better performed live - Sisters of The Moon

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - Not That Funny,

Overall least favorite - The Ledge (sorry, I ain't got no Ledge love!)

[cliffdweller]

What the hell were they thinking! – Over and Over – I have no problem with this song, but WTH were they thinking in opening a long album with such a snoozer?

Yep, I totally agree that it's a snoozer not only for a song, but as an opener for the album. I think Lindsey even said once (?) that the reason they opened with OAO was because they wanted to do a total 180 from what they'd done in the past; instead of opening with an up-tempo, poppy number, they'd start with a mellow, dreamy, flowy kind of thing. I think they (Lindsey) were trying to set a new feel for the album, but they were also trying to make a statement with this unconventional Mac start-off as an opener. In other words, I think Lindsey was going for something a bit symbolic here. I could be over-analyzing. :lol:

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge

Sick to death of - None of it

What the hell were they thinking! - What Makes You Think You're The One, a little too under-produced

Much better performed live - Sisters of the Moon

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - I think Tusk really has to be a double album but if it were a single album I would say KEEP the following:

side 1:
Tusk
Sara
That's All For Everyone
Think About Me
Walk A Thin Line
Sisters of the Moon
side 2:
Angel
Brown Eyes
Not That Funny
Over And Over
That's Enough For Me
Never Forget

These aren't what I would pick (I'd put all 5 Nicks songs on a single disc Tusk) but it's my best guess what Mac might have done.

Overall least favorite - What Makes You Think You're The One because it's way too under-produced, Never Make Me Cry because it's just very bland IMO.

My copy of "Tusk" came a few days ago but unfortunately it will not play in my computer or my brothers. So I can't give my answers until I figure out a way to listen to it :( There's no reason why it shouldn't play...I don't get it.

[pattyfan]

Tusk is far and away my favorite Fleetwood Mac disc. So I don't have a lot to contribute here :)

Wacky Lyrics -The Ledge (but in a good way :) )

Sick to death of -Nothing, because they only time I ever hear anything from Tusk, except for Sara, is when I play it myself.

What the hell were they thinking!

1. Letting whatever radio station that was (Westwood One? ) broadcast the CD from start to finish when I came out.

2. Getting more poppy on subsequent Mac studio discs.

3. Not including Sisters of the Moon, Angel, and Save Me a Place on the Fleetwood Mac live record (I know, very tangential, but I don't have anything else to complain about. :) )

4. Not doing Tusk from start to finish when they toured behind it. :) (see post comment, #3!)

Much better performed live -I don't know about better, but awesome live...
Angel
Sisters of the Moon
Beautiful Child (when they finally got around to it :)
Brown Eyes
Over and Over
Think About Me
Save Me a Place (Christine on guitar :)
I Know I'm Not Wrong (again, when they finally got around to it )


Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album -The only songs I don't like are Lindsey's songs from Disc 1, side 2. (Not That Funny, That's All for Everyone, What Makes You Think You're the One)

Overall least favorite - That's All for Everyone/Not That Funny/What Makes You Think You're the One

God, I love Tusk :)

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge.

Sick to death of - Honey Hi grates on me. :(

What the hell were they thinking! - The Ledge.

Much better performed live - Sisters of the Moon.

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - N/A. I don't think it would have worked as a single album/

Overall least favourite - Honey Hi.

[TrueFaith77]

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge

Sick to death of - none

What the hell were they thinking! -None

Much better performed live -Much? Hmmm...

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - NONE

Overall least favorite - The Ledge/Not That Funny/Never Make Me Cry

[caroline79]

Wacky Lyrics - The Ledge/Not That Funny

Sick to death of - Angel. Not to death, just have heard it a lot!

What the hell were they thinking! - Tusk :]

Much better performed live - Hmmm.. not sure. But I prefer the Sisters of the Moon piano demo to the studio version.

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - None, but surely Not that Funny and I Know I'm Not Wrong could have been combined into one song :shrug:

Overall least favorite - Over and Over/Never Make Me Cry

[jellyman10]

I love Tusk, just love it. I could write a book about it, I swear I could, and it would be better than that thing by that guy Truck that I now use as a beermat.:p

Wacky Lyrics - I wouldn't call any of them 'wacky'. I think 'Sara' maybe has the most obscure lyrics, but most of the others are pretty straight up and down, just coming out and saying stuff?

Sick to death of - Not sick of any of it. I sometimes find myself zoning-out during a couple of Christine's tracks, though. And 'Beautiful Child'. Can't seem to stay with that one, either, sometimes.

What the hell were they thinking! - I just love LB's inventiveness on this album, so I go with it at all times!

Much better performed live - 'Angel'

Should've been cut for Tusk to be a single album - I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Overall least favorite - Oh, all right. 'Beautiful Child'. Even though her vocal is really good, it just leaves me cold somehow.
