Status Quo a legendary band formed in the late 60's that are one of the rare exceptions in the rock & roll world, they have been together for 40 years.(Well the two Main songwriters have been part of SQ since the very beginning). After their early psychedelic period they became a straight ahead hard rocking boogie band, and they have pretty much stayed true to that style for decades now, inspiring a hard core nucleus of fans that have stayed with them for all these years.
The first song I remember listening to by SQ was "Rockin' All Over The World". So I bought the vinyl record, but that was it, I never kept up with them after that. I have 3 SQ albums now on CD, considered their best recordings of the band in their prime, the 70's. After digging into them a little bit I was surprised to find that by the mid 90's they had surpassed all other rock bands in English recording history an astonishing 50 hit singles. Their popularity in England and Europe has remained rock solid for decades, through band line-up changes and a legal battle with one founding member to continue using the "Status Quo" name after he quit the band, and they are still active today.
One of the true success stories of a band that has stayed true to their fans for over 40+ years and counting.
The first song I heard by SQ...all those years ago.
I probably play this album more than any other, love the name too.
