I can hear the similarities, but they aren't overly strong. I can see how the beginning of "Jive Talkin'", with the muted guitar and rhythm led to the beginning of "Second Hand News", which has a similar style going on. Before I got to really know Fleetwood Mac, I was really into the Bee Gees, so it always excited me that one favorite band inspired the other.
