It's not like voting off ANY Fleetwood Mac album is "easy". Even for as much as I think Penguin is the weakest of ALL Fleetwood Mac albums, there's really only ONE track on it that I find unlistenable ("Roadrunner")...the rest stand up against the rest of the band's output. And, on the blues era stuff, sure, Jeremy's Elmore James type send-ups are really great taken one at a time, but more than two per album (as on Mr. Wonderful or Pious Bird... ) get redundant...but, still doesn't make the album "unlistenable". And, with all the changes in personnel, with such a wide variety of singers/songwriters/guitarists/etc, one could conceivably listen to nothing BUT Fleetwood Mac and hear almost every subgenre of rock music.
