You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''The Pious Bird of Good Omen''''' is a compilation album by the British [[blues rock]] band [[Fleetwood Mac]], released in 1969. It consists of their first four non-album UK singles and their [[A-side and B-side|B-sides]], one track from their first album ''[[Fleetwood Mac (1968 album)|Fleetwood Mac]]'', two tracks from their second album ''[[Mr. Wonderful (Fleetwood Mac album)|Mr. Wonderful]]'', and two tracks by the blues artist [[Eddie Boyd]] with backing by members of Fleetwood Mac. These came from Boyd's album ''7936 South Rhodes''.

The title of the album is a phrase found in an 1817 [[gloss (annotation)|gloss]] (marginal note) to [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]'s 1798 epic poem ''[[The Rime of the Ancient Mariner]]''. The phrase refers to the [[albatross]] killed in the poem ("The ancient Mariner inhospitably killeth the pious bird of good omen"). Its use as an album title as well as the album art is a sly wink to the featuring of the band's number 1 UK hit "[[Albatross (composition)|Albatross]]".

''The Pious Bird of Good Omen'' was not released in the US. The closest US equivalent is the ''[[English Rose (album)|English Rose]]'' compilation album, released in December 1968 and sharing four songs with ''Pious Bird''.

In 2002, the album was repackaged by [[Sony BMG]] as ''Greatest Hits'' with cover art very closely resembling the 1971 [[Greatest Hits (1971 Fleetwood Mac album)|''Greatest Hits'']] album, and with "[[Shake Your Moneymaker (song)|Shake Your Moneymaker]]" and "Love That Burns" added to the track listing. In 2004, when Fleetwood Mac's [[Blue Horizon Records|Blue Horizon]] era albums were remastered, ''Pious Bird'' was reconfigured to remove tracks from the previous two Mac albums and the Boyd tracks, which were replaced by archival recordings from the 1967 and 1968 period.

==Reception==
Reaction to the album has been highly positive. It was described as "excellent" by the ''Rolling Stone Album Guide''.<ref name="google1"/> ''TeamRock'' ranked the album in the "20 Greatest Blues Albums: 1967-70".<ref>((cite web|url=http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-07-18/the-20-greatest-british-blues-albums-1967-1970 |title=The 20 Greatest British Blues Albums: 1967 – 1970 - Blues |website=Teamrock |date=2016-07-18 |access-date=2017-07-02))</ref>
