I don't listen to them so I don't really have an opinion, but some people seem to feel this way.

No, she and Lindsey Buckingham made them even greater.

Stevie Nicks is the second greatest female lead of all time behind Ann Wilson, so, hell no. She and Buckingham made Fleetwood what they are. We wouldn't even be talking about Fleetwood if it weren't for those two.

No. Relative lack of quality songs ruined them.

No.
Although my favorite era of the band is the Bob Welch years.
But the 1975 self-titled, the first album with Buckingham & Nicks, is my favorite album of theirs.
Really I like everything they did, though. From their 1968 debut to the 2013 EP.

I'm a fan of the Peter Green era. Still think the long version of Oh Well is one of the top five tracks in history.
The Nicks/Buckingham era was good pop. Rumours got slightly overplayed, Christ, you couldn't go into a bathroom without heard a song from it. I think the overall tension killed the band. McVie v. McVie. Nicks v. Buckingham. Fleetwood v. Nicks. And its tough to follow an albus as successful as Rumours. Can't do Rumours II. Tusk wasn't bad, but it wasn't Rumours.
Oh, yeah, the Tony Montana-esque coke binges didn't help either.

The 3 albums before Nicks - Penguin, Mystery to Me, and Heroes are Hard to Find - were mediocre, other than a song or two. By Mystery to me, the band was Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Welch, and Bob Weston. With Welch and McVie writing the songs, they had already abandoned blues-rock for commercial pop. |

still my favorite guitar work of all time. It's criminal that only part 1 gets played.
It's also criminal that Peter Green doesn't get more love. Rolling Stone's 2012 greatest guitar poll put the Green God at #38. My ass. He's top 10 and that's generous. I could honestly put him at #3, after James Marshall and Duane Allman. Don't believe me?
"He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." - B.B. King. I know I read articles where both Page and Clapton named Green as their favorite player.

I didn't know that Fleetwood Mac was ruined by anything. Last I checked, they are still headlining arenas.
Nicks and Buckingham certainly changed Fleetwood Mac, but they didn't ruin anything. I like all the phases of that band.

What a stupid question
Stevie Nicks with Lindsey Buckingham made Fleetwood Mac great.
Anyway out of the 50 years they have been a band its really only the 12 year period from 1975 to 1987 they where great before and after that its pretty mediocre.

No, but I hear she played a role in Buckingham not being in the band right now.
