Default Favorite John's performance in "white" album

What song is your favorite in terms of the bass sound by John in the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album?

I'm excluding Landslide cause I think there's no bass there, hope I'm not wrong.

His playing on this album is so spectacular, so sophisticated (as opposed to showy or complicated) it's hard to tell.

I said "Sugar Daddy" cos one of my friends--a bassist--raves about that bass line and the way it's played. But I could have easily said Blue Letter, Rhiannon, Over My Head, or Crystal--all amazing.
