I am enjoying this thread immensely. Being musically illiterate, I can't comment but this thread is the kind of discussion I just love b/c it teaches me.
As for Mark Knopfler and Lindsey-I love em both. Their music is quite different and I don't know that it can be compared.
This probably is an ignorant comment but I have always thought Tusk's being a double album might have been part of the reason it didn't sell as well as Rumours. People are not as likely to take a chance on an album when it's more expensive. Tusk as I remember was pretty pricy for its day. In terms of the music on it, it has always been my favorite and always will be. Rumours line-up Fleetwood Mac reached heights on that album it never did again.
