Congrats on all your research.
Tusk was the hardest for me. Its really Lindsey's album and a few of his songs have grown on me over the years. Stevie had some great poetry but not the bests songs so to speak. Chris was good but I think it was one of her weaker albums but that does not say much because she has a hand full of aces each album. Honey Hi and Never Make Me Cry seem like demos to me. But maybe that was the form they wanted for Tusk. But I still picked Chris because of Brown Eyes, Never Forget, and Think About Me. Those 3 are better than any of Stevie's or Lindey's 3.

Rumours was the impossible one for me. I think each songwriter had just about the best song of his or her career: “Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” and “You Make Loving Fun.” Those three tracks cover just about all the strengths of the band in those years.

Yes. Rumours is perfect in every way. Its a given its impossible to pick who was best.
So David, I stand corrected.

Sit down!

For Tusk, I’ll choose Lindsey, followed closely by Chris. I have a lot of respect for Stevie’s work — “Storms” and “Beautiful Child” are very moving and genuine, and the lead vocal on “Angel” is something I’ll praise till I die (she’s the 1979 equivalent of the 60s belter Brenda Lee singing “Sweet Nothins” or Let’s Jump the Broomstick”). But I don’t want to hear her songs repeatedly. I need time to pass before I listen to any of them again, like a day or a week.

Whereas I can listen to “That’s All for Everyone” literally all day. I could just keep playing it over and over while I do the housework. Probably “Save Me a Place” and “Walk a Thin Line,” too. These songs hold up on repeat for me, as much as “Go Your Own Way.”
