Both so fine . . . so fine . . . how could one choose? Well, I suppose one could, if the reward was sufficient.

I like how Jim Ladd signed off his two-part Innerview of Fleetwood Mac in 1979, speaking over the outro of "Never Forget": "Though we didn't talk to them personally, I would like to give a very special thanks to Christine McVie & John McVie, whom many consider the signature of Fleetwood Mac."

I have to go with "Never Forget," which I really adore. I have never been able to really get into "Honey Hi."

Honey Hi by far, although Honey Hi could never end Tusk like Never Forget does, if that makes sense. as a song itself I prefer Honey Hi, but Never Forget has got to be the best album closer ever, it totally ties the whole album together. So I like both but will give Honey Hi the edge, witht hose amazing harmonies and caribean background.

"Honey Hi" has amazing harmonies, which is why I put it ahead. However, I think "Never Forget" is the better song, technically speaking.

Honey Hi!

The lyrics are trite so for me it's just about the music. Is it a wurlitzer? I wouldn't know, but it's a fun, simple keyboard part and of course great lead vocal and harmonies.

"Never Forget", even if it was just for the guitar at the end.

I like "Honey Hi", but I LOVE "Never Forget". It's the perfect song to end Tusk.

Default Never forget

Honey Hi is one the few songs of Christine's that I'm not fond of. I think the lyrics are lazy. Funnily enough I do like the demo version on the Tusk remastered thingy.

You may not be a "record", but you're surely "broken". (I know, I know..."stop calling me Shirley")


I think "Honey Hi" should've been the OPENING TRACK of Tusk and there's no other song that could CLOSE the album other than "Never Forget".

It seems to me that if they HAD opened Tusk with "Honey Hi", it would've gotten more exposure and probably even had been included in the live set.
