What Stevie song is your LEAST favorite on Tusk?
 

I think that Stevie's songs on Tusk represent her greatest Fleetwood Mac effort. Since I love each one of her songs on there, it's hard for me to decide which song I like the least. So I was just curious what everyone's opinion is.

I voted for Angel. I love the lyrics and I love its rockin' vibe, but compared to the others, I decided it is my least favorite.

Sara. My favorite is Angel. But I like them all, very much.

I can't vote...it's too hard!

Sara, but I like them all a lot. :nod:

"Angel" and "Storms" both stink to the highest heaven! :p

I vote for Beautiful Child, which is just not a favorite of mine, although it's fine in the wider context of a double album that's a sprawling series of mostly peaks & a few valleys. Certainly there's an interesting reverb thing going on on the Beautiful Child track, & the minimalism & dream-state quality of it are picture-pretty.

Storms stinks? Surely you jest!

I like the track a lot. I just don't think it's the best thing she's ever done, like many other fans do. ;)

That comes from the Strindberg in you, Gaius. ;)

Angel is my least favorite but I still like it. And my heart is aching for all the Sara hating. :( I think I'll manage to survive though. :)

I voted for storms, just because I could never got into the song.

I prefer Angel on Stevies solo version MUSICALLY more than Fleetwood Mac's but performance wise it doesnt beat stevies solo version.


Jimmy

Jimmy thinks Alice is her best and that surely differs from popular opinion.
Don't ya Jimmy?

Actually "Storms" is one of the few tracks where my opinion somewhat differs with other fans.
I have the usual favourites, "Landslide", "Crystal", "Silver Springs", "Sara", "Beautiful Child", "Gypsy", most of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart, the better half of Rock A Little (for some reason I've always had a soft spot for the title track of that album). And so on. Sorry to be disappointing. ;)

They played it during the Bella Donna tour, I think.

Who said I thought it was her BEST, its my favorite. Theres a big difference. Get your facts stright before posting.

Sorry Jimmy :(
I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking it's her best though.

Be nice, Trackie, he has my birthday! Oh, plus, bad taste.... :lol:

Yup! I thought it sounded better with more musicians. Im sure you can d/l a version off throwndown.net if you havent heard it yet.

Thanks Amber, I love you too :( :distress: :distress:

I went with Sara, although it was really hard to decide.


BTW - Angel was done by Stevie solo on the Bella Donna Tour and at Us Fest 1983. I believe it was taken out of the setlist for TWH tour after that show, though.

She also did it in Buffalo, NY and Hartford, CT. Of all people I thought you would know that Paula. :p

I voted for Sisters... never got on with it :distress: I'm not keen on Storms or Angel either, but then I'm not a Stevie fiend to be honest :woohoo:

I do quite like the other two, and her Mirage and White Album songs... in fact I might have to say that her Tusk songs are among my least favourites :(

God, and here I am listening to Behind The Mask :distress:

My guess was that her set was too long. For that tour she was touring for months unlikethe short Bella Donna Tour. She also dumped Enchanted, which I thought she should have kept to promote the album more. I think it did great with the audiences because she kept it all throughout the tusk tour.

BUT I wasn't being horrible!!! I promise! I just meant he had an unusual favorite that's all!
Forgive me Jimmy? But I wasn't being mean, honest. :o

Oh, no, you weren't. I was just teasing! :xoxo:

I love Behind the Mask, I think its a great CD. Right now im listening to the very best of FM.

I picked Storms. It never was a favorite of mine.

Thats ok Sharon. I think its cool that I have an unusual favorite. I think its unique in a way.

I agree, although I find the lyrics to Sara extremely confusing.

But I think the one line from SOTM, "So we make our choices, when there is no choice" is probably one of her greatest lyrics of all time. Easily relatable, imo, and so true.

I actually really like Alice, although it's not my fave.
I remember buying Rooms On Fire as a 7" single before TOSOTM came out, and Alice was the B-side and playing them both to death.
Ah, seems so long ago now :( Happy times!

I love that line! That was only added for the live version right? I can't remember if she sings it on the album or not. Anyway that whole end verse is great. Why she never did it after two tours, who knows?

Lucky! I've always wanted to get my hands on one of those!
