Tusk at 40: FM's defining record

[BLY]

[QUOTE=



And Save Me A Place literally has a 3 part harmony in the chorus which is, you know, Fleetwood Mac's thing. Why did they let Lindsey do all three parts?[/QUOTE]


The live versions of this song REALLY showed what the studio version could have been. The three part harmonies were amazing.

Absolutely!!!

Lindsey not letting anyone else sing on his songs post Rumours is one of my biggest Mac bugbears. Think of the harmonies we have missed out on.

This is a symptom of the reasons he is no longer in the band.

Lindsey adding Stevie to his awesome GOS songs and making them non-listenable with all that horrible nasality has been hurtful for my ears.

I don't know what you're referring to, I just think it's sad that after Rumours Lindsey decided his songs were too good for anyone else to be on, seeming to forget he was actually in a band.

Yes and control freaking the bejeesus out of everyone else's songs at the same time.

WHERE would they have been without him?


Living in Behind The Mask land, that's where. Mediocrityville! He knew what he wanted, and got them there. They'd have NEVER been where they are now without his vision.

Prove me wrong.

i'm referring to Say You Will album. for example, listen to What's The World Coming to. nasality kicks in hard there, and makes it completely unlistenable.

to my ears, and watching Destiny rules doc, the problem was that LB didn't take all the control anymore, but shared it with Nicks to appease her. another exhibit is their 2014 EP. she co-produced, and neither was happy. he didn't take all control, and she didn't have all control either.

But at least with Stevie singing with him, it sounds like an actual band. Most of his songs on Tusk, Mirage and TITN are just him.

What makes it such a shame is how good they were when they did all properly collaborate.

Yeah I agree with this. I think its a combination of he doesn't want them to and also at times (like TANGO) where even if he did want them to they weren't there for it (at least, the case with Stevie).
