BTW, even Mick and John say these two were the best. The magic of Fleetwood/McVie is that unlike the other rhythm sections, they had to work with a wide range of writers/musicians, not just one or two (other) writers.

Good point, but comparing Fleetwood/McVie with Bonham/Jones or Moon/Entwistle is comparing apples with pomegranates: they both essentially the same color & shape, but inside they're vastly different. Whereas the latter rhythm sections were about showmanship, polyrhythmic complexity & metal intensity, Fleetwood/McVie typically toned down their attack in order to let the song itself take center stage. Fleetwood/McVie wouldn't be all that stunning on "Baba O'Riley," but Moon/Entwistle wouldn't know what the hell to do with "Dreams."
