MAYYYYYBE "Don't Stop"
MAYYYYYBE "You Make Loving Fun"
MAYYYYYBE "Gypsy"
MAYYYYYBE "Tusk"
MAYYYYYBE "Little Lies"
That's it...5 of 8 songs from one out of 20+ albums, done in a 10 year span of a nearly 40 year career.
It's not like these stations are digging back to play "Hypnotized" or "Oh Well" anymore. I almost skidded off the road the other day when a station here in LA played the 1980 Live version of "Oh Well".
If Fleetwood Mac gets airplay, it's usually "Landslide" or "Rhiannon" on one of those "listen at work, soft rock" stations that actually just lull you to sleep in 20 minutes, which is why they have so damned many commercial breaks.

It sounds like it really just depends where you are and on whether or not the DJ has good taste.
Yes, there is the soft rock station scenerio, but I rarely even listen to the radio and I hear Oh, Well (Peter version) and Hypnotized quite frequently on the major local classic rock station. But the station has people who really know their stuff. Then again, as far as I can tell (lived here my whole life, so I wouldn't really know the difference), it seems to be an exceptional station...even though it is guilty of repetitiveness like every other radio station.
