Re: Status Quo

RE I am far from an expert on SQ seeing I only have 3 CD's, but here are a handful from the peak period of their career that are worth checking out.

Dog of Two Head
Piledriver
Hello!
On The Level

Sox and Sweaty are far more knowledgeable about them than I am so they might have more recommends to add.

Re: Status Quo

Now then MR EVANS there are some real classics out there, you could start with Dog of two head (as mentioned by LG) as an early introduction, you can see where they are going with their sound from here. Blue for you and Piledriver (again mentioned by LG) and then one of the later ones if you like, Ain't complaining, here is a selection of tracks you may like from these albums. Hope you enjoy, you may like the live album too from 1977, has some great tracks:

Re: Status Quo

I think LG and Sweat have covered the ones I would go for...



Blue For You ... Another pearler IMO.

Re: Status Quo

Clipsal...? What is that exactly Sal?

I am amazed they are touring in Adelaide, but it shows they are still successful beyond doubt. Truly a remarkable testimony to the bands longevity they have been playing since the late 60's.

Status Quo tour Australia fairly regularly. Seem to be very popular with Poms who emigrated from the UK way back when My parents have been to their concerts a couple of times.

Re: Status Quo

My favourite live version and Quo song.



I always thought they had an unique sound, just like AC/DC having the same drum beat in almost all of their songs or is it just me?

ROLL OVER LAY DOWN!!

Re: Status Quo

Now we are talking! My absolute favourite band.

Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon through to the Live! album, the 'Frantic Four' were untouchable. Some great moments throughout the 30 odd years after that, but not quite the same standard throughout. I've seen them live 23 times since my first ever concert at Wembley Arena in 1999. The latest being last Wednesday!

Great choice Nololob!

An absolute beast of a tune:

Heads Down! A couple of my faves.

Re: Status Quo

The Dog of Two Head album would be faultless if it didn't contain 3 versions of Nananana.

One of Quo's finest moments, from the Quo album:

Re: Status Quo

^^ I've seen that album on vinyl... 4 days ago. If I had at least £3, cause that's how much 80% of LPs cost, I would definitely get it.

Here's my #2 Quo song.
