Anyone coming to the band through this song knows John's a killer bassist, Mick is a rock solid drummer with a unique and economical flair, Christine's a great (and underrated) texturalist at the keys, and Lindsey's an unparalleled arranger-guitarist whose guitar fills are parts in themselves. So there's that...

I've always thought that Dreams was number 1 because it's very Fleetwood Mac. Stevie lays down a great vocal which the band got the best of out her many takes.
However, this song is so boring without the band having weird idiosyncrasies on their instruments. Plus, the whole BuckVie sound (including bass/drums) make it interesting. It's just a boring song made into a stellar track!
I give this song a lot of credit.
Also make no mistake: Thunder does happen whether it's raining or not!
