I came up with my tracklist for this "lost album" once.
I included Enchanted in the tracklist and decided that would also be the best Fleetwood Mac album name for it, and that it came out in 1984.
Need to have another think as I can't find the list.
I don't think it would necessarily be the best songs from the respective solo albums per se, but rather the group of songs that hang best together as one album, or have that elusive Fleetwood Mac vibe.

Enchanted wood be a great name for the album. My thought on this thread is taking some of the “ best solo and hits” and give them another “hit” album in the 80’s. This could have been released between Tusk and Mirage?

I like your tracklist by the way. Those are three strong openers. Trouble could be a good name for the album too.

This would have been a major “Fleetwood Mac” hit album obviously with some tweaks to the production and adding the vocals of the band to the original “solo versions “. Another title could still have been Go Insane.

I can't IMAGINE Lindsey singing Don Henley's part. Don is one of the top ten ICONIC American vocalists.

No offense to Lindsey.

But I would include Out of the Craddle songs. Otherwise the girls would lead the singles again.

Many of those songs ("Trouble", "Got a Hold on Me", "Who's Dreaming This Dream", "Shadow of the West", and "Ask Anybody") already have multiple Fleetwood Mac members playing on them, so it would be conceivable to add in the parts of the other members

Many of the singles listed would sound completely different and many not have ever been singles if a Fleetwood Mac song. I don't see Lindsey wanting to rip off Prince or The Police for Stevie's songs. Chris and Lindsey songs could have had the same or similar foundations though.

I was watching Caddyshack for the umpteenth time and noticed a part where someone says "Bark like a dog" two times just like Lindsey did on the live version. That's the first time I noticed that in the movie. Wonder if Lindsey picked that up from the Caddyshack? Both movies starred Chevy Chase and Caddyshack came out three years before Vacation and Holiday Road.

Somehow, this exercise, which I have tried many times, never really works. Or it works but not in the way I would like.

I can imagine certain Stevie 80s solo tunes on a Mac record--How Still My Love; Enchanted; Nothing Ever Changes; Sable on Blonde; I Sing for the Things...

I can imagine certain 80s Lindsey tunes on a FM record--Trouble; Shadows of the West; Mary Lou Jones; Johnny Stew; DW Suite; Go Insane...

I can imagine certain 80s Christine tunes on a FM album--Ask Anybody; Got a Hold on Me; Smile I Live For; Love Will Show Us How; The Challenge...

But--and this is the big but--I never imagine any of these on the same record. And I don't know how they would fit together. It's odd: all these songs (and more) sound very much like FM songs. But I don't know how they would blend on a FM record.

For what it's worth, Trouble; How Still My Love and Smile I Live For are as FM as FM gets...

My favorite moments of the solo projects from the 80s are the differences, the ways in which each songwriter branches out into "new" territory. That's why Stand Back was a revelation--it was such an unexpected sound for Stevie that worked wonderfully within the context of 80s pop. That's why I laugh with great joy when I hear the zaniness Bwana and That's How We Do it in LA. That's why Christine's blues opus, One in a Million, is so satisfying to my ears--

They each did something the band context would have either stifled or muted.
