FLEETWOOD MAC - Tusk: How do you follow one of the most famous albums of all time?

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host Tim, Shaun and Peter

This week, Tim discussed Tusk, the twelfth studio album by Fleetwood Mac. Topics covered include: the problem of following up a mega-hit album, the deconstructionist and situationist nature of Tusk, how the track listing could have been improved, which of the three main songwriters did their best work on this album and the influence of punk and new wave on the band at the time. Also, if Peter Green really played on one track, why can’t anyone remember him actually being there? What would Samuel Beckett have thought of the album? Did Lindsey really cut his hair with nail scissors? In what way is the album like a tortilla? Why did the band keep excluding Stevie Nicks songs? And is that Mick Fleetwood, or is it a Kleenex box? https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2uYVm0J7KdZsk04ioZ7C6D?si=GSCYDjR9Td-f6GruvjyzXA&utm_source=copy-link&pi=6rbryv-URACd5
