Bob Welch: Silver Heels, Come a Little Bit Closer
Jeremy Spencer: Dust My Broom, Shake Your Money Maker
Stevie Nicks: The Chain (tambourine)

A number of songs on your list almost made mine. Remember the Tusk doc of John playing bass on Sisters? Holy crap, that was hot.

I’d also add what a great musical showcase Oh Daddy is. It’s not always the most loved of Rumours songs, but the musicianship is great. Johns bass is brilliant, Chris’ keys are brilliant. Micks drumming is gentle, restrained and just what is needed.

Oh Daddy is beautifully orchestrated start to finish.

It's shocking and hateful that we're not all devoting acres of space to the wonder of our mistress's tambourine playing


A special shout out for John's bassline on Say you love me. It's magical and just propels the song to another level, imho.

You are so right. The bass on Say You Love me does take the song to another level. But once you start naming great bass parts by John where do you stop? The Chain, GYOW, Everybody Finds Out, Say You Love Me, Gold Dust Woman, Sisters, etc. You cant stop.
BTW, I did mention Stevie for her headbanging tambourine playing on The Chain (live).

Nominees for best spoken part in a Fleetwood Mac song or video:

Bob Welch for Bermuda Triangle - No matter what Chris and Mick thought at the time it was brilliant. When I was 14 I would listen in my dark room to this Bermuda Triangle story and it would scare me. It was almost like telling ghost stories mid song.

Mrs Scarrott for Thoughts on a Grey Day

Mick Fleetwood for Two Sticks and a Drum - Skies The Limit video

The winner is********
Bob Welch for Bermuda Triangle

Listening Rumours right now, that Lindsey's guitar in Don't Stop is awesome.
