Probably the best break-up album ever made, Rumours is full of candid, passionate songwriting and crafted musicianship. A window into the troubled lives of the band, but also exciting and uplifting

Mick Fleetwood's favourite of their albums, Tusk has is diverse and adventureous, maintaining and building on the intensity of rumours with some of their best material. Pity it's so long!

The best of the Rob Welch era albums with Welch at his very best and Christine McVie's songwriting rapidly improving, it really is one of their best albums ever

A blues classic and the best studio album with Peter Green, Songs like 'Before the Beginning' will blow you away. Extended jam tracks just don't work as well on studion albums however (madge songs)

Despite being fairly simple, straight-up white-guy blues, this is another classic blues album that proves white guys CAN play the blues with genuine soul

With some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits (in the UK at least), Tango is an album of great songs more than a great album, and is let down by Stevie Nick's contributions

Not really a studio album, but fills the gap bewteen Mr Wonderful and Then Play On and contains some of the biggest Peter Green hits. The other material is not their best however

Yes, no Stevie Nicks! Sadly, the album does suffer from her absence, and although there are some good tracks, Christine McVie is unable to carry the album on her own

Without Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac just weren't the same, and took a big step away from the blues and more towards folk and country

Fleetwood Mac sell out? Abondoning the sounds of Tusk to try to please the record company, some of their worst songs are on this album and the emotional intensity is gone, though not every song is bad
