Fleetwood Mac Band • Page 7

The whole gig from this performance is something else. Especially Not That Funny.

Massive love for Tusk, itching for the spatial audio version to drop.

 

You can really tell Lindsey had his ears open to everything else that was happening in music at the end of the ‘70s

 

Onto Mirage. This is much better than I was expecting it to be. "Book of Love" is very good.

Also did the first solo Buckingham album. "Trouble" rules and "Bwana" is weird enough to be interesting, but I don't love much else on it.

 

Mirage is good, Tango in the Night is even better

 

Give Out of the Cradle a listen (my personal favourite solo album from him) although Go Insane is top tier as well.

You are going to love Tango in the Night.

 

I honestly think I like Mirage better than Tango.

 

Rumours, s/t, Tango then Mirage for me

 

The Buckingham songs on Tusk are really making a run to top Rumours for me, but I think Rumours still wins.

Rumours
Tusk
Mirage
Tango

all winners

 

Rumours

Could flip 2 and 3 depending on the day.

 

tusk is no. 1 all day every day forever

 

Think About Me from Tusk is probably a top song for me. Lindsey and Christine at the top of their game.

Mirage has some of my favourite songs from them but it definitely comes last in the classic 5 albums run. But yeah 100% all winners.

Say You Will

 

Not sure when it happened but Tusk is now in Dolby Atmos!

 

This is Dolby Atmos versions is *chef's kiss*. So many little sounds present here that would normally be buried in the mix. Lindsey was really in his element with Tusk.

Can't wait for inevitable Tango in the Night version.

 

regretfully i became a dad and realized the error of my ways (somewhat) with this band and listened to every album in about a week and a half. exhaustive ranking since im not a dummy who ignores their very good pre-buckingham/nicks albums:
1. Tusk (just insane sicko shit, the buckingham songs and the mcvie songs are great)
2. Then Play On (incredible. kirwan's story is about as sad as green's but the combo of the two for this single record was lightning in a bottle. i can't get over "although the sun is shining")
3. Future Games (kirwan's best but missing the peter green songs. title track is cool as hell though)
4. Rumours (not going to pretend like it doesn't have good songs but the insane acclaim is a little much for an album with more than three or four subpar songs. ive come around to it being "good" though)
5. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (great peter green songs but i can't stand jeremy spencer's shit)
6. Mr. Wonderful (same as the last one but just less good peter green songs and equally bad jeremy spencer ones)
7. Fleetwood Mac (some grating buckingham tunes, the nicks ones are good, the mcvie songs feel likes lesser versions of her rumours tracks, weird production)
8. Kiln House (awesome kirwan songs again but unfortunately that dipshit jeremy spencer is back, love "jewel eyed judy")
9. Tango in the Night (a great opening track and great mcvie singles and a lot of stuff i never really want to hear again)
10. Bare Trees (kind of the fleetwood mac to rumours with bare trees - lesser kirwan songs and the Welch songs are more annoying than the future games title track and the mcvie songs just feel out of place and transitional)
11. Mirage (nothing here outside of gypsy that sticks with me at all)
12. Mystery to Me (pretty bad)
13. Say You Will (pretty bad)
14. Penguin (really bad)
15. Heroes Are Hard to Find (embarrassing)
16. Behind the Mask (i turned this off after four songs)
17. Time (i turned this off after two songs)

 

Still feels like you aren’t a fan from the right up there haha. But glad you somewhat came round to The Mac.

 

Any other Mac fans on here checked out the Dolby mix of Tusk yet?

 

@phaynes12 our of morbid curiosity, what songs (besides "Oh Daddy") would you consider subpar on Rumours

 

that's one yeah, "never going back again," "i don't want to know" and then one i'll take to the grave

 

Buckingham’s live version of Never Goin Back just skyrockets that song to one of my favorites.

 

if the last one is Silver Springs then you've got about three and a half hours left

 

no lol that's their best song and it also isn't on the album

 

My man

 

If it's "Dreams" I'll put you in the grave.
