Sugar Daddy

I don't want to know
Oh Daddy
Tusk:
Well Tusk could have been cut down to 12 tracks. All there writers have good tracks on this album? Lindsey and Christine have the fillers though. All of Stevie's songs on Tusk are great.
Mirage:
Can't go Back
Oh Diane
Wish You Were Here
Tango In The Night:
Actually, there is no filler on this album, IMO. When I See You Again could have been better though.

You must only be a Stevie fan because you are only throwing out Christine and Lindsey songs
Just teasing you
I don't think there are any filler songs or "padding" on Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk or Mirage. I LOVE Sugar Daddy. It has a pre-Stevie and Lindsey sound to it. I also LOVE Wish you were here from Mirage.
I would not call these fillers but on Tango Welcome to the Room Sara and When I see you again are just plain horrible. Stevie hardly spent anytime on the record and she threw Mac these demos when she was still on the RAL tour. You can tell not much time went into these songs with writing or music. They are not great vocally either. But even though they are not favorites of mine, I would never call them "filler." The Mac and especially Christine and Lindsey are such music professionals they would never put filler on any record. Filler songs are from the 60's and 70's when singles sold and there was pressure to do an album and the albums were horrible. The Mac always made albums and were not part of that pop culture.
I like to use Christine's phrase better. She uses "padding" to describe songs on albums that are just thrown on to take up space.
Christine and Lindsey... never. But Stevie definitely had "padding" on some of her 80's albums. They were not written by her and brought to her to sing. Fire Burning is a good example. Unconditional Love is another. Blue eyes yet another. Those songs have no passion and are not signature Stevie songs. Definitely padding IMHO.
