How Fleetwood Mac Made a Masterpiece That Flopped

[starshine]

I really love Tusk, its probably my favorite LP of there's beating Rumours just because its been over played so much. Tusk is different and that's why I like it plus its longer too. I don't like the Eagles Long Run LP much at all. That was a disappointment after Hotel California. Both groups I think just weren't going to please the public after having there big hit LP's previously. It seems it happens that way most of the time. But Tusk is much better than the Eagles Long Run (or as the band called it the Long One) cause it took them so long to complete it. Some songs are good but most I could live with out (like Disco Strangler--seems like filler to me) I think the song Sad Cafe is probably the best from that LP. I like all of Stevie's songs off Tusk, really I like most everyone's. I really don't skip songs on Tusk. I do wish the LP cover was a photo of the band though. I just don't understand with the MANY photo sessions they had they couldn't put some really nice photos in it.(and the LP--its really a boring looking LP though not much color--at least to me) That I'll not ever understand. Its like whats happened to all these unreleased photos sitting in some drawer NEVER to be seen ??? (Same with Stevie's SOLO LP's) how very sad. So sad --same with song outtakes/alternates etc. Anyway, sorry for the rant.
