Safe Harbour
I've heard this song referred to many times as a cheap rip off of Albatross. That may be, but I enjoy listening to it. Thoughts?

I think "Safe Harbour" gets a bad rap. Sure, "Safe Harbour" & "Albatross" have a similar atmospheric feel about them, but, both in melody & key, they are totally different.
Actually, I've always thought that "Mystified" (on Tango In The Night ) was a blatant "borrow" from "Safe Harbour"...it was Lindsey doing his best Bob Welch imitation without doing a Bob Welch song per se. Now, if you want to start haggling over "Albatross" rip-offs...the Beatles "Sun King" is a DIRECT rip-off of "Albatross"...both John Lennon & George Harrison have admitted so in interviews. And, "Don't Let Me Down" has the same chord progression as "Albatross", as well. John Lennon obviously was a BIG Fleetwood Mac fan... 1) he called his one off group for the Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus "The Dirty Mac" (and the only song they performed was "Yer Blues") and 2) he wanted to sign Fleetwood Mac to Apple (and even had an agreement in principle with Peter Green), but Clifford Davis had already signed contracts with Reprise without the band themselves knowing about it. Can you just imagine it? Then Play On with an Apple label?? How different would have Fleetwood Mac's career gone had they been signed to Apple?
