For one moment there, I thought you were Prog Aaardvark. Christopher Walken needs more cowbell, or they'll all be wearing gold-plated diapers - whatever that means. And what happened to Blue Oyster Cult anyway? Their 1979 album should have been reflected in this poll.  |

I feel the same way about the overlong Tusk album. Lindsey Buckingham's solo, bare-bones productions sound like they were recorded in his garage - which they probably were.

Cheap Trick's At Budokan is a sterling example of angst-free bottled lightning. I also love Rust Never Sleeps* and The Pleasure Principle (though I prefer the live versions of those songs). *The same year, Neil also released Live Rust, which I prefer to RNS. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Rust Never Sleeps ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

From this list, Tusk is BY FAR the best album. It's the experimental, under-produced nature of this album that makes it not only a time capsule of its era, but also a true timeless masterpiece. Of its 20 songs, the only one even remotely non-essential to the entire album is Christine McVie's "Honey Hi". I say all this as someone who does not consider myself a Fleetwood Mac fan, but merely a fan of this album.

Agree. With the added screams of thousands of Japanese school girls. I saw the list and thought I might be the only one here to vote for it. |
