53. Fleetwood Mac: The Chain

It starts with the thumping drums. A mandolin-ish acoustic guitar. Blues electric guitar. And then three-part harmony. And the emotionally powerful lyric again and again. Multiple harmonies. Almost in a row row row your boat round. And then, right near the end, the nasty bass line, with the buildup: Running in the shadows! (actually, I could do without the ending).

Thank you Fleetwood Mac for teaching us that band members should not sex each other up all over the place!

The power of Fleetwood Mac has always been its ability to sound like no other band in the world.

Rating: 92 (the first in the nineties!)
