'Fleetwood Mac' (often referred to as 'Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac') is the debut studio album by Fleetwood Mac. The album is a mixture of blues covers and originals penned by guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, who also share the vocal duties. It is the only album by the band without any involvement of keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie. The release of the album brought the band overnight success; in the U.K., the album reached No. 4 and stayed on the charts 37 weeks, despite the lack of a hit single. Even though the album has sold over a million copies in the U.K., it has never received a certification there. The album barely made the charts in the U.S., reaching No. 198.

'Mr. Wonderful' is the second studio album by Fleetwood Mac. This all-blues album was broadly similar to their debut album, albeit with some changes to personnel and recording method. The album was recorded live in the studio with miked amplifiers and PA system, rather than plugged into the board. A horn section was introduced and Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie) was featured on keyboards. The album took a total of four days to record.

'Then Play On' is the third studio album by Fleetwood Mac. It was the first of their original albums to feature Danny Kirwan (although two tracks recorded with him were included on the compilation album 'The Pious Bird Of Good Omen' released earlier in 1969) and the last with Peter Green. The album offered a broader stylistic range than the straightforward electric blues of the group's first two albums, displaying elements of folk rock, hard rock, art rock and psychedelia. The album reached No. 6 on the U.K. Albums Chart, becoming the band's fourth Top 20 LP in a row, as well as their third album to reach the Top 10.

'Fleetwood Mac' is the tenth studio album by Fleetwood Mac. It is the band's second eponymous album, the first being their 1968 debut album, and is sometimes referred to by fans as The White Album. It is the first Fleetwood Mac album with Lindsey Buckingham as guitarist and Stevie Nicks as a vocalist, after Bob Welch departed the band in late 1974. It is also the band's last album to be released on the Reprise label until 1997's The Dance. The album peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart on 4 September 1976, 58 weeks after entering the chart, and spawned three top-twenty singles. It has been certified 7? platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over seven million copies in the United States. Peaking at number 23 on the U.K. Albums Chart, it was the start of a run of hugely successful albums for the band in Britain, with six number ones, Fleetwood Mac being followed by Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979), Mirage (1982), Tango In The Night (1987), and Behind The Mask (1990).

'Rumours' is the eleventh studio album by Fleetwood Mac. The recording sessions took place in the aftermath of several relationship breakups among the band members in addition to heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics. The album was an instant commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide within just a month of its release. It garnered widespread acclaim from critics, with praise centred on its production quality and vocal harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among the band's three vocalists, and which has subsequently inspired the work of musical acts in various genres. It won Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammy Awards and received Diamond certifications in several countries, including the U.K., Canada, Australia, and the U.S., in where it is certified 21? Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the 5th best-selling album of the 1970s and the 9th best-selling album of all time.

'Tusk' is the twelfth studio album by the Fleetwood Mac. It is considered more experimental than their previous albums, partly as a consequence of Lindsey Buckingham's sparser songwriting arrangements and the influence of post-punk. The production costs were initially estimated to be about $1 million but many years later were revealed to be about $1.4 million (equivalent to $6.07 million in 2024), making it the most expensive rock album recorded to that date. Compared to 1977's Rumours, which sold ten million copies by February 1978, Tusk was regarded as a commercial failure by the label, selling four million copies.

'Tango In The Night' is the fourteenth studio album by Fleetwood Mac. As a result of Lindsey Buckingham's departure later that year, it is the fifth and final studio album with the band's most successful lineup of Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks, though Christine McVie would make guest appearances on the band's 2003 album, 'Say You Will'. This lineup was not seen again until 1997's live album 'The Dance'.

'Time' is the sixteenth studio album by Fleetwood Mac. This album features a unique lineup for the band, including the addition of country vocalist Bekka Bramlett (daughter of Delaney And Bonnie) and former Traffic guitarist Dave Mason. It was the second album released after the departure of Lindsey Buckingham in 1987 (although he makes an appearance as a backing vocalist on one track), and the only Fleetwood Mac album since 1974's Heroes Are Hard To Find to not feature any contribution from Stevie Nicks. Additionally, it is the final Fleetwood Mac studio album to feature Christine McVie as an official member. The album received unfavorable reviews from critics and was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart in the U.S. and peaking at number 47 in the U.K. The band disbanded soon after the release, although they reunited a few years later with Nicks and Buckingham for the release of The Dance (1997).

'Say You Will' is the seventeenth and final studio album by Fleetwood Mac.
