which Lindsey do you prefer?

tuigirl · #1 09-21-2005, 12:43 PM

I'm sure wev'e discussed this in another roundabout way, a while ago..but it occured to me, that this "shut us down" song, bought out an interesting point when we all wondered if it was a CVB cover. Some of us ( me included) thought ...Yahoo!!!....what a great rocking cover for him to do, and were a bit disappointed (me included) when we found out it wasn't the same one.
So...do we like the "rocking, crazy" Lindsey or the "quiet, melodic" Lindsey?
I confess, I love the nutty, weird version the best ( GYOW,Teen beat, Wear you down...etc). Thats not say I don't like the quieter version either (which I think can be fab...sometimes) but he's def better as a rocker in my books

Anyone else?

I like Tusk-era Lindsey, and Dance-era Lindsey.

Tusk-era Lindsey is my favorite. Loved the look....loved the sound.

As for Stevie, all the Lindsey's eras have some aspects that intrigue me, so I can't choose. About the musical style it's the same, but he needs a speech writer.

I like both the rocky and the acoustic stuff.. but the acoustic stuff a little bit more, maybe. Especially what he did the last few years, songs like Street of Dreams, Say Goodbye and Shut Us Down. (Oi. 'Few'?? I could say the last 15 years!)
Oh and for looks, Tusk Lindsey, with OOTC Lindsey a close second

tuigirl · #8 09-21-2005, 04:35 PM

ermmm....I was really talking about musical styles as opposed to eras. You know, the crazy, fast paced guitar stuff with upbeat melodies, that make you wanna dance round the room...or....the soft, whispery, gentle guitar strumming, that makes you just go "ahhh...."
Era wise for me would probably be Tusk too (coz he was a bit trippy and looked different from all those bearded hairy assed blokes, wev'e come to associate with the late 70's)

The Eagles were snippin' it too, at that point. Glenn went from long-haired beauty to a more masculine shorter haired hotness. Nummy.

Aahh..ok, well then I like to think maybe lindsey pipped them at the post for looking better and less hairy

It was a long time ago..and memories get blurry with age....haha

Which Linds did you say you prefered Nancy?????

Madness Fades · #12 09-21-2005, 06:11 PM

The reason Lindsey Buckingham is my favourite musician is because of his ability to be rock star one minute and poet the next. I couldnt take either extreme and say its all i want to hear.

Take for example
1) NGBA
2)She smiled Sweetly
3)Street of dreams

then take
1) Come (Live in Boston)
2)Go Insane (The Dance)
3)Eyes of the world (Live in Boston)

Both examples are lindsey at his best so i feel a bit torn between the two to say the least.

However pre 1986 Lindsey or post 1986 Lindsey I'd Go for the latter.

I will say the next lindsey, that is due to come out and start doing something any minute now, may be the hottest yet. I am just hoping and anticipating.

I am so ready for more lindsey! Solo, FM, whatever.

When I read that I got this funny image in my head of "What if he had his kids write his speeches?"

Press conference for Lindsey's next album:

LB Steps up to podium.

Reporter: Mr. Buckingham, what would you say influenced the....

LB raises hand to reporter. "I have a prepared speech if you don't mind." pulls out paper and carefully unfolds. "Guitary good. Me play plays lots. Da puppy gives me kisses. I have cookie?....No! My cookie!!" refolds paper and waves. "Fench fies nummy." he nods. "Fench fies nummy" steps off podium to exit, turns to give a thumbs up "Fench fies nummy!"

On the subject, my favorite is Tusk era Lindsey. From all of the eras there is music that I like equally, but the look is Tusk all the way.
