Fleetwood Mac — Tusk


     Yes, I totally realize that’s it’s stereotypical for a record collector to proclaim that Tusk is the best Fleetwood Mac album ... you’ll just have to face the fact that it is.  No it doesn’t have the wall to wall hits of Rumours, but it’s chalk full of timeless artistry that can be played alone in morning having a cup of coffee or at night having a drink with friends, which to me is the mark of a great record.  Critics and fans seem to hear an artsy post-punk New York sound to the music but I hear more a continuation of where Todd Rundgren was going with A Wizard, a True Star.
