10 Most Divisive Albums In Rock Music History

Making a classic could be both the best and worst thing to happen to a band all at the same time. Once you've made a modern masterpiece that will be called one of the greatest records of all time, there's no rulebook as to how to follow that up. Especially when you spent the last few years fighting with your bandmates, you can imagine how the sessions for Fleetwood Mac's Tusk went.

With Rumours still breathing down their neck, Fleetwood Mac had run themselves ragged making their previous album, which left almost the entire band in emotional shambles. When they returned to the studio though, they decided to not hold anything back, with each member going into their separate corners and trying to craft some of the best songs they knew how to make.

In some respects, this could be looked at as Fleetwood Mac's answer to The Beatles' White Album, with each primary songwriter given a spotlight and using the rest of the band as glorified sidemen on their own songs. Though this leads to a lot of weird stuff, we do get to see Lindsey Buckingham really flex his chops as a producer, bringing together Beach Boys style production on his songs while lifting up Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie to showcase some of their greatest singing on record. This might not be the most revered Fleetwood Mac album, but it's probably the one that feels the most human.
