Hey Steve, I know its only a bit of fun and its a tough ask, but...
...representative of 50 years...?...

Only 4 songs from the 1970-1974 period.
Only one Danny Kirwan song.
The Time band didn't exist.
Only one song after '87.
Would people really need 2/3 of the Rumours songs again?

My formula was pretty easy. I went with the big hit singles from the Peter Green years, all of the top-40 singles from the classic years, the most essential from that middle period, and most of the staples from FM/Rumours. Time and SYW didn't have top-40 hits or concert staples.

On the basis that the missing posts may not return, I'm re-posting my somewhat improbable playlist for a single 50 years of Fleetwood Mac CD for the record. Each of the 17 and a bit studio albums gets one track, plus a Peter Green representative single and Tusk (as a double album) and Rumours (well, because) get two. A rewarding and eclectic listen in my humble and biased opinion. It helps that Chris, Peter and Lindsey (twice) appear on tracks when they weren't part of the band.

The Chain
This is the Rock
Black Magic Woman
Rhiannon
Behind the Mask
Hypnotized
Although the sun is shining
Save me a place
Love that burns
Brown Eyes
Smile at you
Woman of 1000 years
Sentimental Lady
Little Lies
Go your own way
Nothing without you
Gypsy
Miss Fantasy
Caught in the rain
Safe Harbour
World keep on turning

For the 50 years anniversary of the band Mabon Elis created this very interesting infographic:

50 YEARS OF FLEETWOOD MAC

A infographic poster with a timeline of Fleetwood Mac's 50 year history.
The band Fleetwood Mac turns 50 years old in 2017. To celebrate this, I made an infographic poster to show some of their history between 1967 and 2017.

The main element of the poster is this timeline. I wanted to show how the lineup of the band has changed over the years. Fleetwood Mac has had a total of 15 band members. Its current lineup, comprising Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, has been its most popular and is behind the band's most successful albums.

I have also included some information about Fleetwood Mac's concerts, using data from setlist.fm. Their concerts and tours are included in the timeline, and separate graphs show how many times each of their most popular songs have been played in these concerts and where they took place.

Finally, I wanted to see how each band member and other songwriters had contributed to Fleetwood Mac's albums. Christine McVie is the band's most prolific songwriter, having written or co-written a total of 50 album tracks. She has also written more US Top 40 singles than any of the band's other songwriters, including Everywhere, Little Lies and Over My Head. Original band member Peter Green, who formed the band but left in 1970, has written the most UK Top 40 singles, including the band's only UK number one – 1968's instrumental song Albatross.

I wanted the poster's title and colour scheme to resemble the band's most recognisable album, Rumours.

My "Time" representatives on a project like this would be "Winds of Change" and "All Over Again"...and would be tempted to include "These Strange Times" as well.

I'd also HAVE to include "Bermuda Triangle", too.

I've been playing around with another unlikely 2nd 80 minute CD to accompany the one above using broadly the same rules- out in the shops, soon no doubt...

Big Love
Show me a smile
Dust
Closing my Eyes
Sara
All over again
Albatross
Landslide
Man of the World
Did you ever love me
Never going back again
Lazy Poker Blues
Eyes of the World
She's changing me
Say you love me
Sad Angel
When the sun goes down
Say Goodbye
Mission Bell
Gold Dust Woman
I loved another woman
Why


Too bad nothing from the definitely-not-and-was-never-going-to-be-a-Mac- album-honest could find its way onto it...

Default Have you any dreams? No.

Hmm.. my final revised attempt at a 3 CD (how quaint!) (near-enough) 50 year retrospective look at the breadth of the Mac's music. Each 80 minute CD has to include at least one track from each studio album and the EP. Sometimes a writer's work has been passed over from a particular album which may seem unfair, but time constraints, stylistic choices and a need to try to balance their contributions from other albums forced hard choices. So Mr Wonderful is all Peter, Kiln House is all Jeremy, no Bob Welch from Future Games or Penguin, no Chris from HAHTF or Mirage, no Lindsey from the White album, no Stevie from Tango and the EP. And no Dave Walker or Bob Brunning at all... shoehorning anything in other than the title track from Behind the Mask seems fraught. The Second Time, to my ears at least is not as bad as everyone makes out (cowers in the corner). Its chief virtue is its brevity, however. Still, four hours agreeably spent listening to it and the sequencing works, at least for me .

1.
The Green Manalishi (with the Two Prong Crown)
Sisters of the Moon
Coming Home (HAHTF)
Dragonfly
Warm Ways
Sometimes
That's Alright
Spare me a little of your love
One Together
Bleed to Love Her
You Make Loving Fun
Second Hand News
Everywhere
Dreamin' the Dream
Remember Me
Stop Messin' Around
Shake your Moneymaker
Coming Your Way
Tusk
The Way I Feel
The Second Time
It Takes Time

2.
The Chain
This is the Rock
Black Magic Woman
Rhiannon
Behind the Mask
Hypnotized
Although the sun is shining
Save me a place
Love that burns
Brown Eyes
Smile at you
Woman of 1000 years
Sentimental Lady

Go your own way
