Default What would John Mc Vie do?
Mike Mills of REM talks about recording Losing my Religion and it's John Mc Vie influence. Yes this should be in Mac Nuggets, but John deserves an appreciation thread.

To name a few:

Straight Back
Angel
The Chain (duh)

Oh YES
Bermuda Triangle live esp from that show
Incredible.

Even though the bass line in Dreams is relatively simple, its the entire mood of the song.

You rarely hear John Mc Vie get praise like the others in the band do, so it's nice to hear it from his peers.
