I heard an interview with Mick once when he said that was one possibility they considered. that you would buy the first album and then the second one (if you liked it) and all the art work would fit together.

Honestly, the song choices were fairly easy for me. I think "Murrow," "Red Rover," and "Come" would have been great on a Lindsey Buckingham album. They're fairly ambitious songs that try to make a point, which I usually associate with something found on a Lindsey album. But, in the context of Fleetwood Mac, I personally feel they don't work as well. And, as mentioned, BTLH and SYHA had already been released in some form, which is why I put "Down On Rodeo" there (a great, catchy tune). As for Stevie's material, those were really the only songs from her that I could get into, which is why there are only ten songs on my suggested album.

I hadn't thought of who made the decision of how many songs to put on SYW. That's a good point, and it would be interesting to find out what the members say about this. I think the amount of good songs is greater than the ones I don't care for.

Comparing it to the lengthy Tusk, there is more songs in total on Tusk I like. I love the vocals on both, but I like the the creative sound variations and nuances on Tusk that Lindsey worked on in his home, which greatly adds to Tusk sound, which is just part of what makes Tusk a fantastic piece of work.
