Admittedly, pickings are slim in the case of Fleetwood Mac. Danny sometimes modulated in his choruses ("Heavy country blues keep a rockin' " &c. from Child of Mine). But modulating in the chorus doesn't give you that sense of traipsing down a new path for a short distance, which I'm looking for, not least of which because the chorus usually returns.

Sometimes in a Fleetwood Mac song, the tag modulates in a rather bizarre manner but it is enigmatic & attractive, as in the tag on Never Forget.
I'll agree with you on Skies the Limit. Never Forget is probably one of the better examples. I think youve, in a way, explained to me why I always liked that song so much.
