It wasn’t until Nicks, Christine and even Buckingham came into the band that the group garnered much respect, admiration, recognition and fame.

They were very much different bands. FM v1.0 was basically the Peter Green Blues Band, and that's what they played. Blues. FM v2.0 was headed more towards pop, with the addition of Bob Welch and Christine McVie. FM v3.0 had Stevie Nicks and Lindey Buckingham, and it completed the evolution from a blues band to a pop band. The only original members were Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.

and they TOTALLY SUCKED,

I have to disagree there.I favored the origional to the most well known lineup.I'm more of the old,old school rock and roll than anything else,I probably got quite a few years on you.
