The 4 album set called 25 years - The Chain, is an excellent starting point for those wanting to know Peter and Fleetwood Mac. Released in the 90's it gives a really good run down, including the newer stuff. From there, you progress. Go back further into the Bluesbreakers, and then beyond Mac. Once your plate is full, sit back and enjoy.
Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green is really an entirely different band. This is a pretty good compilation The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Wikipedia
Last sunday I played with a friend on a local street session "Albatross". Eventually an american lady came in and thanked for this and I learned that Peter Green had died. So I played kind of Memoriam without even knowing.
R.I.P. Peter Green

Yeah. That Buckingham/Nicks bunch has sacrificed artistic value and complexity in favour of sheer sales numbers, clearly aiming at the big US mass market.
Best regards!
These were great gigs Live in Boston (Fleetwood Mac album - Wikipedia)
And then there were his solo albums which are often overlooked

There were many iterations after Peter.
That was one of them.
Danny Kirwan took over from Peter who was then usurped by Bob Welsh and Christine McVie playing a bigger role before Buckingham/Nicks came along.
Billy Burnette was with them for a bit as lead male vocalist when Lyndsey left.
Dave Mason played a small part as did a number of others whose names escape me. Like the lady whose parents were the Bonnie, Delaney and Friends group. She had the unenviable task of replacing Stevie for a spell.
There was also that guy who was doing Mick's wife for a while.
Maybe others as well, I don't follow them like I used to so I have no idea who's in the band or even if they are still together.
Having avoided the news recently, I just learned that Peter passed. It's sad indeed.
I have to thank Clapton for telling him to put down his bass and pick up a guitar. Doing so helped bring to rock and roll one of the greatest blues guitarists ever recorded!
R.I.P Peter. I hope you finally find the peace you deserve.
