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.

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. Single bigger graphics can be seen here: http://mabon.me/50-years-of-fleetwood-mac |

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.

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 Little Lies Go your own way Nothing without you Gypsy Miss Fantasy Caught in the rain Safe Harbour The World keep on turning 3. Big Love Show me a smile Dust Closing my Eyes Sara All over again Man of the World Landslide Albatross Did you ever love me Say Goodbye She's changing me Say you love me Eyes of the World Lazy Poker Blues Sad Angel When the sun goes down Mission Bell Never going back again I loved another woman Why Gold Dust Woman

We don't need another compilation without the studio version of 'The Purple Dancer' included...

Granted, if the original studio Purple Dancer ever does appear on CD I would be the first to try and fit it in somewhere but it might prove tricky. The version on the Madison Blues set is just too loud. It's a crying shame it's not available, I agree. Is it the only commercially released FM track (other than the truly dire Lizard People) never to make it onto a CD or a digital download?

Interesting choices, Fuzzy. I'm not sure you would be able to squeeze them onto two discs, though. Maybe I'll try listening to it to see how it hangs together as it seems a bit scattershot (although doubtless my selections do when you see them written down).
Nothing from Mr Wonderful and the original pressing of Then Play On seems a tad harsh though? I appreciate there are a couple of singles and rarities from that era included, though. Which Angel, by the way?

Yeah, I wasn't sure either whether they'd fit on 2 discs or whether they'd need to be on 3. I'm not really sure how many songs can be put on a single disc these days... I just remembered The Beatles' 1 album has 27 tracks (though I know a lot of their songs were really short). I'm not too disappointed about missing Mr W, though I was certainly conscious about Then Play On. Perhaps I could swap over one or two. Angel...you've got me...???...Nicks' I think.
