I love the Pengun. And I love The Derelict! It's so heartfelt, I don't know why people don't like it. Now, I hate Roadrunner a lot, but I think The Derelict is a really great song.

The Derelict and Roadrunner (great song, fine cover) do not sound like Welch och Rumours-era Mac, that's must be the reason most fans dislike them. I think they're great - but McVie and Welch are responsible for some great turds on this uninspired, very transitional album. Highlight is of course Greeny's playing on Nightwatch .

The reason I don't like them is that Dave Walker can't sing.......

Hence, not everyone being blindly enamoured with Stevie Nicks.

Which explains why I'm not blindly enamoured with Stevie Nicks I like her, but I am mostly a Buckingham fan (obvious, right?!) As for the other members of FM, My other top 3 are Christine, Bob Welch, and Danny Kirwan.

I started to type that these were both my least favorite Welch forward FM albums. But when I really thought about it, one reason I never listen to these two, is that these are the only ones I have on vinyl only, not on CD. And I just never break out the turntable(it's a POS) anymore. But, now that I really think about it, while I like HAHTF soso, Penguin just never grew on me.
