Default Round 1: (I'm A) Road Runner

Hey, a Penguin survivor is a pretty cool idea. It's not one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums, but there are some truly, terrific songs on there anyway. And, I LOVE the cover & the terrific gatefold picture on the inside.

I'll start off with one of the Dave Walker songs. I could really flip a coin to pick one or the other, but I guess I'll go with (I'm A) Road Runner.

Penguin got up to #49 on the U.S. Billboard chart. If that's correct, then immunity to "The Derelict, I guess.

P.S. Don't you mean the song with the most votes per round gets eliminated?

Default Round 1: Night Watch

I don't need to see magic shadows... not one of Bob's finest, bit rambling and tedious. I know Road Runner will get voted off but I've always liked it - shame we didn't get Kirwan and Spencer on guitars instead of Welch and Weston for this track - they would have made it rock a lot harder, instead of getting left behind and blown away by Walker's harmonica.

Default Round 1 - Dissatisfied

The title says it all. I've never liked this song.

This one never really bowled me over.

Default Round 2: The Derelict

I don't see "The Derelict" on the list. I thought it only had immunity for Round 1. I certainly didn't intend for that song to have permanent immunity. If it's still on the list, then I'll vote off The Derelict.

It says in the album liner notes that the sleeve design for the Penguin album was designed by Modula. I don't know who or what Modula is. The Mystery To Me cover was also designed by Modula(at least it says so in the sleeve notes). It that's correct, then immunity to "Dissatisfied".

Bright Fire. Even Bob has acknowledged that this wasn't one of his better songs.
