Buckingham Nicks playing "Rhiannon"


Fleetwood Mac playing "Rhiannon"


If you really can't hear the difference or what Mick, John, and Christine brought to that song, then you need to get your ears checked. I could hear any band in any town USA (or elsewhere) do something like the Buckingham Nicks version of Rhiannon. It's pretty basic. Nothing too special. But the Fleetwood Mac version is a rock legend. It has subtlety. It has style. It even has hints of the blues. It's one of the most inspired performance pieces ever, and that wouldn't have happened with JUST any bassist, drummer, guitarist, etc (as in Stevie wouldn't have been as inspired if the band didn't rock that hard).
