Start with Alligator, it's surely their best, followed by clear #2 Boxer [said as he ducks, along with @TenderLovingKiller® and @McGlam]

I really like it.
The single/1st song has more muscle to it than almost anything they've done.
It also has a Blackberry Belle vibe to some of the songs - which is my second favorite Greg Dulli product (only Gentlemen tops it)

But @Viking Dan also fully believes that MMJ best album is Evil Urges and “Impossible Germany” is a terrible song so take that with a grain of salt.

Lol, oh I'm fully aware, but I'll take what I can get!

These are facts, not "beliefs".
Please do not conflate the proven objective as something loosely subjective.
Also - salt is bad for you.
Edit: I will also respond by saying once again: We desperately need a "fuck that guy" emoji in the "likes" responses.

I think Tusk is a bit of a bloated coked out mess of album (I mean that as a compliment) but Rumours is a better. More of a consistent front to back album as an artistic statement.
I think Tusk is way more interesting though. It was an attempt to do something different and it’s production was heavily influenced by Buckingham’s increasing obsession with new wave. It’s always been a big “what if” to wonder where they might have gone had it not been a relative flop and they knee jerked back to soft rock. Also it’s long and there’s a lot in it but it doesn’t have the feeling of being unfocused and overblown which is how I’d think of as being a “coked out mess.”

I think it’s the disjointedness of the album. Like it’s 3 different solo albums; Nicks, Buckingham, McVie where they took the best parts of each and kinda of shuffled a deck. The songs are really great but hearing “The Ledge” followed by “Think About Me” is quite a juxtaposition. Both are great songs but it gives a listener a bit of whiplash. It probably made perfect sense after spending a week in a mastering studio with an endless supply of the best blow money could buy.
Yeah I suppose that just doesn’t really bother me all that much, but then I’m also a White Album guy so read into that what you will!

Yeah, I love both Tusk and The White album and find their flaws to be endearing but I personally would never list them as either artists best because of them.

Similar:
1) High Violet, which I own.
2) Parts of Sleep Well Beast
3) Parts of the one where people other than Matt sing the songs.

Here's mine:
1) I've listened to Rumours once
2) I don't really like Stevie Nicks
That should probably be in the hot take thread.
