Please don't mention the Glee 'Rumours' tribute. I still have nightmares about that.
this type of snobbish attitude really annoys me:
1: the band obviously agreed to their music featuring and therefore understand the power of this show
2: of course the glee versions are going to be inferior to the originals, it goes without saying, but I don't think that's really what glee is there for, which brings me into...
3: the glee episode introduced a whole younger generation to the greatness of fleetwood mac. This can surely only be a good thing as they then listen to the original album and likely branch our to other similar music of the time?
Although on the other side of the coin, when some idiot refers to Bridge Over Troubled Water as a "Glee song" as I heard the other day you do have to wonder!
Not so obvious to those people who only know Fleetwood Mac by greatest hits compilations from which so many great tracks from the Peter Green years are conspicuous by their absence.
It's impossible to choose really... Well I will go for Frozen Love and Crystal. Technically Buckingham Nicks songs but I count them as part of the FM discography.
I love both the Green era and the Rumours line-up, to dismiss the later era as 'rubbish' is ridiculous IMO. I can understand people feeling Green gets overlooked at times but Rumours/Tusk/Tango rubbish? Don't think so.
My favs:
Green Manalishi
Man of the World
Dragonfly
Rhiannon
Second Hand News
Go Your Own Way
You Make Loving Fun
The Chain
Sisters of the Moon
Angel
That's All For Everyone
Sara
Hold Me
Big Love
Everybody Finds Out (from the much underrated 'Say You Will' album).

Songbird is also awesome
I forgot that one, the live version from The Dance concert is amazing:

This is an amazing performance, the Buckingham/Nicks/McVie line-up at their peak.
Love this version of 'Sisters of the Moon' from Tusk too, although Stevie looks totally out of it at times (from 4:53 in particular);)
