Just from looking at everything released from 1988 through 1992, I don't see a hit album for Fleetwood Mac. Let's just say, for hypothetical reasons, that Lindsey agreed to stay in 1987, on the condition that nobody does solo albums (if I can't, then YOU can't, either). Thus, anything from "Greatest Hits" through "Out Of The Cradle" is fair game. Since Lindsey WOULDN'T have left the band, some of the songs (Wrong, Soul Drifter) wouldn't have been written for a Fleetwood Mac album. Here's the best I could come up with:
Don't Look Down Skies The Limit Rooms On Fire Countdown This Is The Time Save Me Affairs Of The Heart Behind The Mask Down Endless Street Freedom Street Of Dreams As Long As You Follow Now Questions Asked Say We'll Meet Again While it may be somewhat better than what was released (BY EVERYONE), and may have done somewhat better in terms of charts and sales, really, I don't think it would have been a huge hit.

Come to think about it, I'm not so sure that the NEXT album (which would have been the album released where "Time" was) would have been a hit, either. (NOTE: "hit album" and "good album" are not the same thing. I'd still buy the album, regardless.) Here's the best I could come up with from 1992-1995:
Blue Denim Love Shines You Do Or You Don't Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind I Do Destiny Heart Of Stone Street Angel All My Sorrows Hollywood Turn It On Kick It Surrender The Rain This Nearly Was Mine All Over Again

I think you could add some GOS-songs too: If lindsey was a part of it , that next album -at least- would have come out a year later. So it would have been a totally other ballgame; I still think that GOS could have been the body for a hit album. Actually, I think it still is with what's left!

In any event, I think the albums that COULD have been released would have been liked by fans, but I'm still not sure how they would have been received by the general public. Just consider that Lindsey released an album that featured "Surrender The Rain" the same year we were picking on that boy Jeremy, smelling like teen spirit, and jumping on the runaway train. To add to that, Stevie looked like hell during that period, Mick was coked of his GD skull, and Lindsey was basically 12 stepping through his anger during his solo shows (opening for Tina Turner).

Now, just curious (cause I can't compare 1990 with 2003, I know that). how greater (if they were) were SAY YOU WILL (no Chris!) sales compared to BEHIND THE MASK (no Lindsey!)? |
