i rate john very highely, he is a very melodic bass player, hence the bass line in gyow. he has great ablity to create space and as he says not to be busy, to make room for the other musicians.

As far as rock/blues bass players, right behind Jack Bruce (Cream), John Entwistle (The Who) & Berry Oakley (Allman Bros Band). When you start including the jazz-ers like Jaco Pastorious, Charles Mingus, Nathan East, Stanley Clarke & Abraham Laboriel, Sr., the rock guys drop down the list pretty quickly.
But, McVie...he'll always be #1 to me.

OMG - I think John kicks so much ass...though that dude from Primus was pretty damn kick ass on the bass too
 John's my #1 bass player...which pains me to say because I LOVE Paul McCartney - but in terms of bass abilities I like John's style more

addition
here's a good addition to my original post. Which Fleetwood Mac song is John most out front on, in other words, which one do u listen to, and think, wow that bass part is faboulous. FOr me, It's The Chain, Dreams, and GYOW. I realize that I'm leaving out some good ones, but those are the ones that make me think of him first.
