I love that track & I love Stevie's vocal, but let's face it: Stevie's contribution was to sing it.

But Stevie doesn't play an instrument, so what was her contribution to "Book of Miracles"?

Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's right as well!
Stevie's credited for writing it along with Lindsey, according to the discography...

It's quite possible she did the melody...

John, of course, great bassist. Stays in the background. My type of guy.

I think this poll has been posted in te past. Stevie always wins.

I must admit to my surprise that MF has only pulled one vote so far!

I'm not surprised. Even though he is "Fleetwood", he usually is not Mr. Congeniality for fans.

Say again? You think Stevie, John, and Lindsey are more congenial to the fans than Mick? I'd say just the opposite!

And I'll proudly claim that single vote.

Yeah, but THEY don't try to sell us wine.

Seriously, though, I chose More Than One Favorite. For me, the Fleetwood-McVie-McVie rhythm section makes the band. I love it just as much with Stevie and Lindsey as I do with Bob Welch or Billy Burnette.

ETA: To put it another way, Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac is unbelievably better than by Buckingham Nicks. I certainly can't say the same for Believe Me or Spare Me A Little Of Your Love after 1975. Why is a maybe. I'd have to hear a live version with Weston.

No Steve, you are correct... Crystal by FM is far superior to BN as well... you just can't beat the rhythm section of FM and Christine's solo at the end..
