Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 85.2/100, a mean average of 84.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.0.

You Make Loving Fun
This was the fourth and final single from Rumours and is another composition by Christine. Literally, the hits just keep on coming on Rumours.
This track as a great beat to it. Lighter in tone than The Chain it’s a great track to follow that belter.
I saw it written that this track has "sparse instrumental background and the chorus comes on like an angelic choir." Totally agree on the angelic choir angle. The vocals here, not just Christines but the backing vocals from Lynsey and Stevie are superb
Classic Fleetwood Mac

My favourite on this album. Always has been. I realise this is against the grain.
The chorus is wonderful!

The weakest song on this very strong album, but still better than 95% of songs and 99% of white funk songs.

Well, very good song, should be represented in soemwhere, but I´m sure, It could and should be better

Very funky and groovy song! :D
Solid song
McVie's vocals and a darn catchy tune make this a great song for an even greater album.
