All the other FM 'incarnations' lasted an average of 3 years and did not generate 1/16th of the icon status and fame as the Rumours lineup. That's the lineup that existed for roughly 40 years, sold millions upon millions of albums, made the music that people grew up with, went on world tour after world tour, achieved incomparable levels of fame and success and won the hearts of the public.
I don't mean to discredit the other lineups and their members, but people really need to stop acting as if the name 'Fleetwood Mac' is not essentially defined by the Rumours lineup to just about everyone in the world except for those snobby "Peter Green only" people.
