It comes down to this, the original poster said he's 22, so my guess is his first "taste" of Fleetwood Mac probably came with "The Dance". Like most people who discover a band they believe (albiet briefly) that whichever album they first hear is the bands first album. They then hope they can enjoy the ride not realizing that the ride is almost over.
Fleetwood Mac's impact was in the 70's if you missed it, then that's too bad. They aren't trying to be relevant to today's music buying public, they are doing what they want, when they want. They aren't trying to get a #1 album or single because they know it's not going to happen. They just go out and do it because they want to not because they have to. They don't need to try and make a name for themselves, they've already done that. Your GaGa's and Duffy's etc are new artists, so they are heading down the roads that others have already paved a long time ago.
Fleetwood Mac is not trying to appeal to a 20 something year old. This isn't to say that can't, it's just that those aren't the people they are trying to please. I guess they could be like the other bands from the 70's who are still racing up the charts and scoring #1 albums and singles and are wowing the Hannah Montana generation like.....um....uh....hmmm....oh yeah there aren't any!!!!
