Either "Walk A Thin Line" or "Save Me A Place." Both are pretty bland.

FAMILY MAN! Without a doubt!

Maybe. But not with me or Christine or Lindsey. Christine and I will always be close; Lindsey just plain doesn't like me. I never had any musical training of any kind. I just had this innate ability to walk in, sit down at a piano, and write a song in five minutes, and go to bed. It drives him nuts. - Stevie Nicks, 1994

Come. I hate the screatching singing, and the over done guitar solo. I didn't like it before I knew it was about that type Of "come"
Lindsey has such a nice voice, he should find it and use it more often.
I do like the begining of the song though.

All of the above, except "Come," I love that song! Funny that no one's mentioned yet about it being misspelled.

Totally, 100%, undeniably "Family Man". I think that Lindsey just picked random words out of a hat and put them to a beat. Blecch.

Though I like most of his songs on Tusk, I didn't care for Save Me A Place. Family man I don't care for either. You and I, Pt. 2 isn't anything special either.

Empire State is bad enough. But, he peaked IMO with My Little Demon. BLAH!

I have a couple of less-than-favorite Lindsey Buckingham songs from his Fleetwood Mac years:

1. Caroline
2. Come

There's one tune, "That's All for Everyone," that didn't quite grab me during the first few years of my immersion in "Tusk." But before too long, it won me over completely. Generally, when I sit down at a piano to just fiddle around, I almost always start with "That's All for Everyone."

Choose from:

"You & I, Part II"
the studio version of "Not That Funny"
"Come" (ok, I don't hate it anymore, but it is still one of the worst of Lindsey's Fleetwood Mac tunes)

Stop Press! Welcome to the other side, ChillD

I agree with you on You & I pt II (even though that was a collaboration of sorts between Christine and Lindsey... so they should really share the blame!)

I used to not be a fan of My Little Demon, especially how the outro solo doesn't resolve back to the major key - it used to frustrate me so much, as if the song was begging for it. But now I really like it for some reason - yet something sure got lost between the GOS idea of the song and the Dance track.

I love Come! It's nasty, and Lindsey knows that it's nasty. He likes it that way (he said that the song definitely has a humorous side to him; I love that!)....

His WORST song IS *Empire State* - he's admitted to hating Mirage, right?! I BETCHA this song makes him quiver (and not Come).
