I love still thier classic stuff from 1968 to 1980 and like the other Quo fan who left a comment i will always love them BUT !!!. From the 1*9*8*2 album onwards boy did they lose the plot. What they have churned out since then has been ninty nine per cent dross. Now your football team you support for ever but bands it's different for me. When they stop making records i like i stop buying them. What is the point of buying a crap record purely because of the name on the cover ?. There are a ton of bands i rate as my favourites but i have not bought a record by them in years cos what they do now is a load of old doo doo's. Alice Cooper , Ramones (before they nearly all died), Aerosmith and Uriah Heep etc etc all made fantastic records at one time that still thrill me and always will but they all suck eggs now. It's usually a bands first 7 or 8 albums that cook and then it starts to go pear shaped , out come the jazz influences and the need for a hit and zzzz. I have a good mate who is a Quo nut too he has not liked a single album Quo have made since 1980 yet he still goes out and buys each one. I dont get that , save ya money and buy some thing good i say. Much love pop pickers :-) CA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-32458927221085560952007-10-12T19:36:00.000+01:002007-10-12T19:36:00.000+01:00Hilarious and very true.Good work fella.Top 5 long...Hilarious and very true.<BR/>Good work fella.<BR/><BR/>Top 5 long term loves;<BR/>The Clash<BR/>Jam/Weller<BR/>Faces/Rod Stuart<BR/>Thin Lizzy<BR/>Stray Cats/Brian Setzer<BR/><BR/>All have embarassed me at some point but all are unconditionally forgiven.56 Specialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418687289895858250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-47822119891081351442007-09-19T00:11:00.000+01:002007-09-19T00:11:00.000+01:00Having been a Quo fan for over 30 years (and still...Having been a Quo fan for over 30 years (and still buying the cds and going to the gigs) the Quo reference struck a sad chord (one of 3 presumably). Can't help feeling that memories of the 70s will carry me through to the bitter end though. Even now Rossi & Parfitt still make me laugh.

For me that would be Boys Wonder, any band comprising a friend of a friend at work and dare I say it .... late 80s early 90s Glitter.

Some great songs in their time tho.<BR/><BR/>Prince is someone I always want to like & did for ages. Loved the rockier stuff, stayed with the flirting between rock n dance, then it just seemed to be all dance (criminal waste of an awsome guitarist)<BR/><BR/>PileyPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-25864116687594210302007-09-15T16:08:00.000+01:002007-09-15T16:08:00.000+01:00Paul Weller - through thick and thin for me, seems...Paul Weller - through thick and thin for me, seems to be having a lean patch at the mo, but i'll forgive a guy who is constantly cool as f##c<BR/><BR/>squeeze - they turned into the rolling stones dads.... sadly dumped.<BR/><BR/>elvis costello - on and off he dumped me first ... then i dumped him ... its just the odd hotel these days .....bleecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908659108324588110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-83225468900986143422007-09-14T20:48:00.000+01:002007-09-14T20:48:00.000+01:00I think there's an extra category too.

When I started listening to them, they were a really inovative, cool electro band. Then they sold their sole to the kiddie pop brigade.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
