 Also, if anyone doesn't agree that "Brown Eyes" is a strong song, they have no taste worthy of being mentioned here! And, yes, I'm a nice, respectful person.  It shows, doesn't it?

It took me a long time to really get into tusk. But now after numerous listens I've really learned to appreciate it and now quite enjoy it. I think Stevie's contributions to it are magical. The more you listen to them, the more intriguing they become. I would say her songs probably came out the best on the album and going by peoples 12/13 song list the majority of her songs are on them - Sara, Sister... Angel, Storms, Beautiful Child etc.
I think the inclusion of Beautiful Child in the set for the SYW tour and Storms in Unleashed may have made people go and listen to the tusk album again as it is obvioulsy kinda sidelined due to the phenomenal success of Rumours, and people preconcieved notion that it was "too experimantal"! Rumours is of course the better album; as in many peoples eyes it's practically perfect but Tusk, while not as flowing is still Pretty Darn Good !!!

I like the album a lot, but I never thought the songs were all that strange (even Lindsey's). When I first heard the album in 1979, I was expecting it to be a lot more weird, because that's all they were saying in the reviews. I definitely thought the arrangements were sparse, but not too strange. The only song I was ever kind of shocked by was "Not That Funny", but only because I thought it was so stupid (lyrically), not because of the arrangement. I still never listen to that song to this day, but that's the only one I skip.

I just don't find Brown Eyes all that impressive. Sorry. I like it, but I don't think I would call it a masterpiece or anything. They could have done so much more with it. It's like it's "stuck" in one place.

That's weird, I thought exactly the same thing yesterday. Tusk is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I think it's impossible to pick 12 songs without making any sacrifices. The Ledge Sara Beautiful Child Honey Hi Not that Funny Over and Over Brown Eyes Angel Sisters of the Moon Tusk What Makes You Think You're the One Storms (Damn, Stevie writes so many good songs. Especially on Tusk, in fact, couldn't take anything off. It was hurtful, though : I know I'm not wrong, nerver forget, save me a place...)

The 12-song Tusk cassette I made about a week after its release (and what is my Tusk playlist on my iPod):
Honey Hi Angel What Makes You Think You're The One Think About Me Sara Over & Over I Know I'm Not Wrong Brown Eyes Sisters Of The Moon Tusk Storms Never Forget Ok, now cut the Beatles' White Album down to 12 tracks....(you ARE allowed to use the simultaneous 45 release of "Hey Jude"/"Revolution" as part of the album, if you wish)

That's ok, let the food consumption continue, I found my answer here... http://feedraider.com/item/2007/6/31...ecording-sound When a sound is produced, what a listener or microphone hears is not just the source of the sound. Rather, it is an aggregate of the source and its reflections off of surfaces around it (i.e., sound reflections or echoes). A space is considered to be 'wet' or reverberant when sound reflections are prominent. When reflections are muted or absent, a space is considered to be 'dry' or non-reverberant...

hmm, I'm surprised at how many people included Not That Funny. Am I the only one that finds that tune abysmal? I suppose Angel also fits in that category.
anyway, here's my list in album order Over & Over The Ledge Think About Me Sara Storms That's All For Everyone Sisters of the Moon That's Enough For Me Brown Eyes Beautiful Child Tusk Never Forget As far as order, opening the album with Over & Over, a quiet sad ballad type song, has always bothered me. I would probably open it up Sisters of the Moon or Tusk (I would say The Ledge, but it might deter people from the rest of the album teehee)
