Ok, I have been meaning to post clips from the band Fairechild, a band a friend of mine says reminds her of Fleetwood Mac. I think they just quote lots of seventies band, but they do have a nice male/female harmony thing going. The female singer often sounds a little like Chrissie Hynde. The guitar player was previously in a band called the Beachwood Sparks (Fleetwood Mac-ish name) and they especially had a California sound.
The keyboard player sometimes plays fender rhodes.

A customer reviewer (Rick D. Moore "Music Geek") on Amazon says:
It's tempting to refer to Fairechild as Fleetwood Mac for the 21st Century. But that only diminishes the efforts of Joshua Schwartz and Elisa Randazzo who while paying some homage to the Mac tunes of yesterday; also season their music with samplings all across the west coast sound of the Seventies. Randozzo's voice initially recalls Christine McVie on songs like "These Days" and "Enemies." But the subtle nuances of her voice and efforts of the band move these songs well past any musical clich to form a pleasant collection that will have all of us yearning for bright sunny days driving down the California coast or a starry night with a huge bonfire on a sandy beach.

If MySpace is slow for you, like it is for me, then you can hear more samples at cdbaby.com
