12 Most Divisive Rock Albums Of All Time
8. Tusk - Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac definitely had their work cut out for them towards the end of the 70's. After spending the better part of a decade as a blues rock outfit, the band's newest incarnation with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham gave the band some of the biggest folk rock hits of the era like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams." As the band came off the road after their monumental album Rumours, there was only one question on their mind: How the hell do we top that?
While capturing perfection is no small feat to attempt once, Tusk was a noble effort for the band to try to make lightning strike twice. Structured as a double album like the Beatles' White Album, the entire record is a mixed bag of tracks between each songwriter in the band, with Buckingham refining his Brian Wilson-inspired productions as best he can.
Though the album did have its fair share of hits like "Think About Me" and "Sara," many look at this record as a misguided mess from a band trying to make the best of whatever they have. It may be looked at as too ambitious for its own good, but Tusk is the album that shows each band member in their rawest form.
