That's right, slipkid - I've read that Peter credited "Sleepwalk" as one of the inspirations for "Albatross", and it's easy to understand why. But I don't believe I've ever read that he spoke of any other specific songs as having inspired it. As mentioned, I don't hear much similarity with "May This Be Love" but that's just me.
