Rutlefan Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Was listening to Tusk on the way home yesterday and thought that while there are a few dogs, and a few tracks that just don't seem to fit, about about half of it is really brilliant; actually more than half as almost all of Lindsey's contributions are great but some of those sound like they would have fit better on some future solo album rather than on a Fleetwood Mac album. So, the goal was to put together an LP of Tusk songs that fit into the 42-48 minute time frame with a more or less balanced running time between side 1 and 2, all with a good song to song flow. So play producer and trim a double LP to one, or take a shot at making Sandinista a double album. Here's what I got with Tusk. I think this would have been a great follow up to Rumours whereas the actual version wasn't that well-received at the time (has aged very well though). Again, would have wanted the four Lindsey songs I left out on a future solo album, or maybe as b-sides on a couple singles, but I sure wouldn't miss Sisters of the Moon or Angel. Side 1 (23:19)Over & Over That's Enough for MeThink About Me Storms (this is an amazing, under the radar song) Sara Never Make Me Cry Side 2 (22:50)Brown Eyes I Know I’m Not Wrong (favorite Fleetwood Mac song after Go Your Own Way)Beautiful Child Walk a Thin Line Tusk Never Forget Running Time 46:09 Edited September 22, 2016 by Rutlefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Almost all of them :D I'll do some trimming on specifics ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure most of the double albums I own are live ones. Most I wish were longer to be honest. I own Tusk(love Rumors obviously) and tried to listen to it all the way through a few times and couldn't get through it. Way too much unlistenable stuff at least for me on there. Maybe I'll try again at some point... Edited September 22, 2016 by Narps 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 RHCP - Stadium ArcadiumDT - The Astonishing, but it still wouldn't be that great of an album Physical Graffiti I'm fine with as it is. There are a couple songs on Side 2 that I'm not overly fond of but at least 80% of that album is gold. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans I was thinking that too, but which two tracks would be excluded? I think that three of the four songs could just do with some shortening is all.. Then again, the dragged out and ambient nature does make this album a good one to fall asleep to :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
