The Quo may be stockbroker-belt Tories at heart but I can't really hate 'em. Plus I saw 'em at the Glasgow Apollo in February '77 - as did Bobby Gillespie and Alan McGee I'll have you know. And you know what? They were brilliant.

What's that one with a really good introduction? -- Peter Miller, esmaspäev, 4. Veebruar 2002 20:00 (6 years ago)
Another one with a fab intro is "Backwater", the opener on 1974's Quo.

Fopp recently had the deluxe Status Quo "pictures" set, 4CDs and a heavy art book, for £5
Worth it, certainly, for CD1 alone

I find them pretty charming, but I have a feeling they mean something entirely different here than they do in Britain. You would never in a million years find a jukebox with multiple versions of a Status Quo song on it. "Pictures of Matchstick Men" is about the only song anyone knows by them and even that would only show up on a particularly eccentric oldies hour.

What people don't realise is that a lot of the best songs were written by Alan Lancaster, who was not quite the Brian Wilson of Quo, but maybe could be considered as their Jim Lea. Albeit without the violin.

There was an unbelievable drop-off in quality between Blue For You and Rockin' All Over The World, probably due to sustained cocaine abuse.

Completely messed up the quoting above in zing, sorry.
