Default Favorite Christine song from Tusk

Important Please Read...

Due to Tusk being a double album with 20 songs, the polls for Favorite Christine, Lindsey, and Stevie songs will be multiple choice.

For this poll, try to limit yourself to around 3 choices. As usual, the song with the most votes will win the poll.

I've never really been a huge fan of Christine's contributions to the Tusk album, if I'm brutally honest *hides in nuclear bunker just incase there's a fallout*

Tied between 'Over & Over' and 'Think About Me' so I voted for both.

I voted "Brown Eyes". But you know what? "Never Forget" is way up there

And so is "Over and Over"

Neither have I I've always felt it was her weakest album. that said, I ADORE over and over. So beautiful and hypnotic. I'll say it again....I think it's brilliant that it opens Tusk So Over and Over it is.

Not true. But, interesting to hear you say that.

Agreed, definitely the sexiest Mac song ever recorded. Over the years I've come to believe it's also the Mac's sonic zenith. The entire song is an exercise in restraint... every sound present serves a purpose; there are no unnecessary sounds. The lyrics are similar... almost stark, but they say more in their absence than if Christine fully delineated her thoughts. The "sha la la" chorus leaves it up to your imagination what Christine yearns to do with Mr Brown Eyes. Mick's percussion is pure slinky sex. Never would you think percussion could be downright sensuous, but it is here. Christine's looping keyboards are reminiscent of other rhythmic activities . John's bass seems to tiptoe around as to not disturb the vocal... yet it flares up like passion, then wanes. Lindsey's 3 note scale progression gives the ultimate, yet blindingly simple counterpoint. The song is downright steamy, and utterly perfect. Probably one of the most finely crafted pop songs of all time, IMO.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

Sexiest maybe. Best song ever, definitely not.

AND, the sultry, albeit restrained, guitar tones of Peter Green just before fade out. Without that, the song loses its magic.
