The song Tusk off the eponymous album is based around a strong drum beat and a kicking bassline, and has a big drum solo in the middle.

The Formula One tune was the bassline from the middle of the song The Chain, which is on Rumours. No drum solo there, but thanks to the racing and the easy nature of the classic bassline (which just about anybody can play) made that a famous section of one of their songs too.

Can't think of any drum solo songs from the Peter Greene era, but there might well be. Old Fleetwood liked to bash the old animal hides once in a while.

Had a bash at Stevie Nicks too, and well, who can blame him? Phwoar! (in the seventies, I mean...)

Do you just invent words when you feel like it?

Well, having listened to "Oh Well" after so many years, it does not have a drum solo. It has a long guitar solo, though.

I think the bass riff from "The Chain" is probably the recognisable piece of Fleetwood Mac music, and is probably what Freddie is looking for.

Did I miss the point, but those words are all in the Dictionary.

Oh, and it is NOT the chain, it is NOT oh well, it IS tusk.

It has to be Tusk. After I said that, I went to work and I heard Tusk coming from the bar. Tusk has that strong drum beat with the accompanied bass.

I just wish he would reply and tell us if that's what he is looking for.

Someone I went to school with used to use "twonks" as an insult. He lived in a bungalow.
