If Tusk was only twelve songs...

[Wdm6789]

I listened to the entire album today for the first time in a while. Every time I listen to it, I think they probably could have condensed it to eleven or twelve songs. If Tusk was a regular sized album with only twelve songs, I say twelve because Mirage had twelve.

Also, if you guys have done this before, I apologize.

I'm just going with four songs per writer, you guys pick which ever songs and organize your list however you want.

Lindsey:
Save Me a Place
That's All a For Everyone
Not That Funny
Walk A Thin Line

Christine:
Over & Over
Think About Me
Brown Eyes
Never Make Me Cry

Stevie:
Sara
Angel
Storms
Fireflies (if Fireflies doesn't count, then Sisters of The Moon.)

[KenB]

Over and Over
The Ledge
Think About Me
Storms
Angel
That's Enough for Me
Brown Eyes
Honey Hi
Beautiful Child
Walk a Thin Line
Tusk
Never Forget

What if the album had instead been called STORMS and looked like this? Do we have a more commercially accessible album, hypothetically? The title Storms seems more thematically unifying than Tusk, the storms of the three different artists, the storms of their relationships, changing it up post-Rumours, a tangible concept.

Side 1
What Makes You Think You're The One
Think About Me
Sara
The Ledge
Over & Over
Sisters of the Moon

Side 2
Tusk
Storms
Honey Hi
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Brown Eyes
Beautiful Child


Edit: I love the album Tusk. It's grown on me. I love how unique it is; it is like The Beatles white album. I do wish Lindsey incorporated more of the band and the other voices in his songs. Angel, for me, is a bit of a dud, the studio recording...if only the pace were quicker and more like the live version. I still feel at this point the band was repressing Stevie, whose work is superior...I understand how she probably thought it was unfair that Lindsey got so many songs and how that drove her to go solo. I'm obsessed with Honey Hi these days; the recording is just perfect. I kind of wanted Never Make Me Cry in here, but Honey Hi won out. Brown Eyes would be a good start to a side...maybe I should switch Brown Eyes with Tusk? I wanted Walk a Thin Line and I love how That's All for Everyone really reminds me of the end of The Beatles white album, but I love The Ledge and WMYTYTO too much. Save Me a Place also on the DL. I wish I liked some of his others, but Not that Funny doesn't do anything for me. Anyway, as interesting as this is, I think my sides are too long for vinyl!! LOL

I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think we Ledgies have that kind of super power to change history; at least not yet.

This is so stupid! Everybody knows it was Stevie's songs that kept this album solid. But Lindsey knew that and capitalized on it.
Keep all of Stevie's ****, throw in a few from lindz and Christine McVie and boomb your done.
