1 - Tusk, the quantity, variation, and quality of the tracks makes it a shoo-in for first place
2 - Rumours, 'cause what other album would be in this spot, after Tusk?
3 - Tango, My first Fleetwood Mac album as a teen, and even with the weak/flawed/debatable presence by Stevie, this is still a solid listen from start to finish, landing it in third place.
4 - Fleetwood Mac, many good songs, but everyone feels trepidatious, so as not to overtly peacock in front of the others.
5 - Mirage, the opposite of the previous album - strutting about, this album sounds like a collection of soloists. Great songs from each member when considered individually, but they don't seem to have anything in common album-wise. The songs on Tango sound like they were made to be together, and conversely, the songs on Mirage sound like they were made to stand apart, and so as a fan of the band most when they sound like a band, Mirage is fifth on my list. Fifth favorite.

Wow this is really hard especially since each one is so different. But here it goes

Rumours - best overall effort - flawless
Tusk - best adventurous non-commercial effort
Mirage - best classic Fleetwood Mac soft rock gem
Fleetwood Mac - amazing first studio album such diversity
Tango in the Night - not bad for 80's pop .Too much computer programing and non-instruments for me to love. I love pop music of the 80's but hated when rock bands adopted the current 80's sync sound with drum machines. But still love half the songs.

wow!! nice to see all this love for Tusk! every time i see someone choose Tusk i'm curious about their opinion of SYW?

i know i'm repeating myself, but it always fascinates me how much love there seems to be in FM community for Tusk while at the same time so much hate for SYW, which in my mind (as well as some rock critics' i've heard) is in so many ways a very similar album.

for me it's:
Tusk>>>Rumours>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FM/Mirage/Tango
