I would say that they are not original as only two orginal members are still in the band. If Christine McVie would rejoin they would have their most successful lineup, but not original.
Yeah, cause unlike Rush, Mac had a NUMBER of albums and lineups prior to the "classic" lineup (the Bob Welch led group being one of the best. If you like Mac and have never heard MYSTERY TO ME, do yourself a favor and get it.)
Springsteen, as someone earlier mentioned, has the core of the "classic" E Street band (save for the late Danny Federici) but there were two previos drummers and a different pianist on his first two albums/tours. And of course he's picked up new members to add on along the way (Nils, Soozie, Patty, etc)
Motley Crue? Despite the fact that they have had some splits, they are intact now.
Loverboy (with the exception of their bass player, who died at sea a few years back)
