Good segue for an album rock station
I've never heard any radio station or music service play these songs back to back, but I think "No More Looking Back" by The Kinks segues well with Fleetwood Mac's "Brown Eyes." "No More Looking Back" doesn't get played often today, as it's the "You Really Got Me" sound that album rock and oldies stations still play. It's a good track, however, about having to leave the past in the past. "Brown Eyes" has a unusual arrangement for a Christine McVie song; the keyboard part and vocals convey a sense of mystery. As with other songs on the "Tusk" album, it doesn't sound like what you'd expect from Fleetwood Mac. These are two good, somewhat overlooked '70s tracks that would fit well together on any album rock station.
