I went CD shopping yesterday at Borders & in the Fleetwood Mac section (which I had to clean up a little; they had CDs in there that shouldn't have been in there) was Mirage & Tango In The Night, neither of which I own. So after much debating, I choose to buy Tango In The Night, only b/c it had more hits on it I thought. But my brother who has both & isn't too much into the Mac now, says he used to favor Mirage. So my question is, if you own both of these, which do you prefer & why?

I think this comparison has been mentioned in a recent thread. For my money, if I had to make the choice, I would also choose Tango. Not necessarily because it has more "hits", but because I think the song quality, from certain members, is better.
Lindsey doesn't give his best effort, in my opinion, on Mirage. On Tango, probably some of his best songs (save Family Man) other than Tusk.
I like Stevie's songs from Mirage better, although Seven Wonders and When I See You Again are pretty good songs from Tango.
Christine is Christine. She has the same poppy songs on both, but my preference again is her work on Tango. Everywhere and Little Lies are 80's radio staples, with Isn't It Midnight being another good number.
One warning...Mirage is decidedly middle of the road as far as it being rock or pop. Hard to place it as being an "80's album" as far as sound goes. Tango, on the other hand, is VERY 80's and VERY pop.
