Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (1979)

After Fleetwood Mac was boosted to super-stardom with Rumours, they were given a blank cheque for their follow-up album. Lindsey Buckingham took the reins on this album, writing more than half the songs, producing the album, and even recording parts of it at home, creating an ethereal sound, with a punk and new wave influence, nothing like Rumours. At the time of it's release, the album bombed compared to Rumours, and was never able to produce any major hits for the band, mostly due to the entirely different direction the band had taken. This album is an absolute masterpiece of pop-art.

1. Over & Over

  1. Two of Tusk's singles, the title track and Sara, both broke Billboard's Top Ten, while a third, Think About Me, just hit the Top Twenty. Do a modicum of research before posting such drivel. Thank you.
