  • @quolizzy1554
    @quolizzy1554 18 часов назад

    Very good review mate, I thought you explained it well about the horns and arrangement on it, in fact the whole album's production needs remixing to a more rocky standard. But I thibk think Let me me fly was old Quo but with a new sound. So yeah Good Stuff was the correct ranking. Great stuff, looking forward to next week. 👍

But when it comes to the Don't Stop album it was like they'd decided to put in the least amount of effort possible. Safety Dance by Quo is for those people who thought Men Without Hats went too hard!

    • @VantagePointrocks
      @VantagePointrocks 20 дней назад

      Sorry, don't agree with that at all. They had changed their sound many times previous to this album. Ain't Complaining is a total late 80s AOR album full of lush keyboards, as far away from the traditional Quo as you can get. But I still listen to it regularly is it contains good songs, even though in a different style. Thirsty Work on the other hand, in my opinion, isn't poor because they have changed their sound or riff, but the fact that the songs aren't any good.

  • @PhilipLawson-w1f
    @PhilipLawson-w1f 28 дней назад

    I agree. Quo make it a more engaging and lively listen but it's basically a rather dull song to start off with. I think that I have read or heard somewhere that Quo knew Robert Palmer back in his Vinegar Joe days through touring so the fondness for the guy may have influenced the choice more than they admit when they're trying to big it up as a "real turn on". To such a tight band as Quo, this sort of "almost hypnotic" thing could be done in their sleep. As for the Bryan Ferry version, he sounds as though he is about to croak it. (Thankfully, he was alive and singing well during the recent Roxy Music tour!)

    Personally Making Waves was another single opportunity, a bit like Round and Round from the same album, at least two songs we're in my opinion missed single opportunities. But then Blessed are the meek was another, so maybe the album could have been an album of hits. I think by the time Under the influence came out Quo's single selling power had illuded them sadly. Great reaction again though. Looking forward to next Quo's Wednesday

All Around My Hat on Noel's House Party was I think the final straw - It didn't even make the Top 40 peaking at 47. I want to know what made them think releasing a pub song as an actual single rather than a B-Side or Hidden Track on the end of the album was a good idea?

    I brought the tape when it was released, I was 13 and covered in spots, I liked the album but even then I knew the frantic four were a powerhouse up to 76, however they wrote some great stuff afterwards but the production was often over done, greetings from Ireland

      Yes there was real magic in the recordings up until '76, shame that was lost as they refined their sound on subsequent albums.
