for me there are 5 albums that should all be joint number 1, Piledriver. Quo, Hello, On the level, and Blue for you. Classic albums from a band that made the 3 chords raw sound their own.
Not a big fan like yourself (never like anything after Blue for You), but I really enjoyed your ranking. I just love listening to people who enjoy music as much as me. keep up the good work 😃🤘🎸.
Good list. I have that shirt in the background, it was from the Just For The Record tour in 1993. I went to see Quo for the first time in December 1993 at Temple park leisure centre in South Shields. I was at college at the time and me and my mate skived off college to go to Newcastle where Rossi and Parfitt were signing their autobiography at the Waterstones book shop. We met them both, got stuff signed and had a chat. Happy days!
The greatest sadness in the history of Rock is the demise of the THE FRANTIC FOUR, the greatest Rock Band in history. No matter what your bias or ignorance is, STATUS QUO are the most sincere and genuine and authentic Rock Band to plug in or hit a snare or cymbal. As the great John Lydon said in a BBC interview in 1977, the reason that THE SEX PISTOLS liked and respected STATUS QUO was because " they don't care what you think " Therefore, QUO's attitude defines what PUNK Rock is. There are some very intelligent musicologists who've drawn comparisons between The Ramones and STATUS QUO. This is due to the two bands creating their own brand and style that appears to be simple, yet is complex and unique. The demise of the Frantic Four has parallels to SPINAL TAP's. absurdity. When they reformed in 2013 and played sold out shows at Wembley Stadium, and other major venues, Francis ' Frame ' Rossi said that when they looked into the crowd they saw the toughest and hardest men and women openly and uncontrollably weeping as the greatest Rock Band of all time came on stage . For the first time since 1970, Rossi didn't say " ow are ya then, alright? " Which is his trademark intro. This was a very special and auspicious occasion in the history of the Universe and all the Gods were watching and listening. As the two greatest Guitarists and Bass player vocalists of all time conferred with the best swing/shuffle Drummer of all time, they launched into " Junior's Wailing " which knocked the first 50 rows back a metre. The Bass player and Vocalist that performed the vocals on the first 4 songs had multiple sclerosis, yet he gave the best performance of all 4 members. Within just a few seconds they launched into " Backwater/Just Take Me " a LANCASTER/PARFITT classic from their 1974 album called QUO. The crowd were exploding in rapture as the greatest Rock Band in history played the best riffs and rhythms ever heard. When Francis Rossi said " What can I say " Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan, the crowd went berserk, absolutely wild. He was talking about the Bass player and Drummer he had personally driven out of the Band in the mid-80's. Alan ' Nuff ' Lancaster on Bass / Vocals, John 'Spud ' Coghlan on Drums, Rick ' Reg ' Parfitt the best Rhythm Guitarist of all time / Vocals and Francis ' Frame ' Rossi the best Lead Guitarist of all time /Vocals otherwise known as The Frantic Four. Unbeknownst to all STATUS QUO supporters, we had no idea that when we heard " Pictures of Matchstickmen " in 1968, or " Down the Dustpipe " in 1970, that we were hearing the birth and fledgling sounds of the future No.1 Rock Band in history. if you ever want to meet the most ardent Rock Music supporters and you've got a few hours to listen, then have a chat with someone from the STATUS QUO army. Whether they are a Factory worker or a Lawyer, they'll give you the same reasons why STATUS QUO stand alone as The Greatest Rock Band of all time. RIP Alan Lancaster & Rick Parfitt
I will say this about Riffs, The performance of Junior's Wailing on there is awesome! I didn't like the Don't Stop album at all as they shouldn't have released it at the time. An equal number one should be all the releases from the 70's when they were easily the best UK band on the planet! You cannot say one album is better than any other through the decade. Each album from start to finish is impeccable and, at the time, you were biting your nails waiting for the next new release!
I remember queueing up outside Manchester Apollo for tickets to both nights in 1980. One of the best live acts on the planet. Saw them years later at the legendary Fillmore in San Francico on the Heavy Traffic tour, in front of approximately 300 people (including Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield) and they were good, but I somehow missed the Coghlan / Lancaster sound. They are a different band now from the band I saw back in the day, but I still find time, now and again, to give some old Quo a spin.
Awesome mate just like my dad!!! He was at the manchester apollo,said some bikers taped me ma on shoulder,only asking to look at the program for a second! He was a little worried at first!
Great under taking here. It wouldn’t be easy. The one I’d rank a LOT higher is Quid Pro Quo. It’s probably a top ten or 12 album for me. Their best post 2000 album along with Heavy Traffic. Surprised how low you ranked it. It’s so energetic too. Under The Influence is criminally underrated and though not quite as good so is Thirsty Work. My favourite is Blue For You
I totally agree that quid pro is a solid album but being honest I've only heard it a couple of times compared to the rest. Blue for you is a brilliant album. And you are right 'Under The Influence' is vastly underated.🤘🍺
On The Level would be my #1 with Dog Of Two Head as a close runner-up. Any of those first 10 albums or so could be right up there, though. I also really like Thirsty work - it may even be a bit higher for me than it was for you. Thanks for the video! Now to go listen to some Quo!!
Not bad....my top three albums are.... 3. On the Level. 2. Blue for You. 1. Whatever You Want. Best songs ever.... Broken Man. Who Asked You. That's a Fact. For You. Night ride
My number 1 as well,that was a good review.Saw them here in Northern Ireland in 1982, taking my 26th year old daughter who loves them,to a concert here in February. Take Care..
@@hughesyplays 🍻 100% right I can still recall that concert in 82 ,it was that good I went back next day and watched them again.Cannot recall how many times I have seen them.The last time was in Scotland when they backed Lynard skynard. Now that was a shock when I received my tickets as I had no clue quo were playing, A lovely bonus.Im taking her down to Dublin its a nice small theatre,the one up here in the North just to big,she will not see them close up. Take care...
Unless you have (in any order) Dog of Two Head, Piledriver, Hello, Quo, On the Level, Blue For You and the original Live album as your top seven this is a waste of time. The rest is at best mediocre, at worst totally forgettable. Rocking all over the World was a massive disappointment following those seven, and for me the beginning of the end.
@@hughesyplays I saw the Frantic Four play live 27 times. A lot of those stick in memory. Fourth row Birmingham Odeon, 1977 the Rockin all Over tour. Curtain at the front of the stage, as the lights go down the drone starts up, projected on to the curtain is STATUS QUO..ROCKING ALL OVER THE WORLD. The places they’ve already been to on the tour start rolling around on the screen, as it hits Birmingham Rick starts the Caroline intro, the curtain goes up and the band are centre stage in the same stance as on the front of the Piledriver album. They stay like that, hair down, ripping out the Caroline intro until the vocal kicks in, at which point they break up and rock out. Magical, I’ll never forget that.
Dad was probably at the Manchester Apollo,he's told me all the stories of the cues,stretching for miles,a biker club looking guy tapping him on the shoulder my mum getting scared and he was just asking my dad how much the program was!
Thanks and "HELLO!" from🇫🇷 to you and your dad. Yep! I'm a 🐸 Quo fan. Got to know them when I was 13, back in 1981 and first saw them at Old Trafford, June 1991. Just registered to your channel. 🤘
@@hughesyplays It broadened my view. I still have a lot to discover I guess. I will listen to Quo tomorrow first thing in the morning. If neighbours complain you're held responsible😆👍

I agree with the new rythum guitarest i think hes doing a swell job! Went to see Quo in 2016 and it was brillant! I love Quo as well! I think Ritchie is fillin the big shoes and puttin his own stamp to it..
@@hughesyplays I get that...but at the time you had in the 70s a lot if double live albums..deep purple..led zep...Peter frampton. Etc.....quo was top draw live album.....thin lizzy pretty good too...
My dad always admits it was never the same but he always rooted for every release,even singing the don't stop album in 96 in the car! Came to a point where he had francis' voice style down. 😅😅
my favourite songs and albums are from the original band (being 55 yrs old) but we cannot slate Rhino, He is a fantastic bass guitarist. #1 "hello" definitely
Nice list. I essentially stopped buying Quo albums after In The Army Now, with the exception of Heavy Traffic, In search of the Fourth Chord and Quid Pro Quo. I would rank those three higher than Back to Back, 1982 and In The Army Now.
Was your dad, like us, queueing up at 4am? Yes I remember a couple of bikers ' having a word' with a few of the heavy handed security. Great gig though, then we all piled into Jilly's rock club after the show (your dad may know that club).
Great list. First saw them on Whatever you want tour. Would have put Just Supposin and Whatever you want slightly higher. Never too late should definitely be in the top 10. Take me away is awesome as is Riverside.
I agree with you about Over and Done. Class song. Again with Little White Lies. Quality song. I can see why Thirsty Work would be higher for you, than I'd put it. For me the album suffers from a too polished production for my liking. I would put Never Too Late higher up as earlier in my life it was only one of two Quo albums where I liked every song in the album. The other was Blue for You. Since then my tastes have broadened and there are more albums where I like wcwey song on them but even then albums like Hello, On the Level and Rockin' All Over the World all have at least 1 song I don't like.
1 hello ..2 on the level. 3 live in Glasgow..4 quo...5 blue for you...6 piledriver .7 if you can't stand the heat.......I remember being on a hire bus 1975 going from redditch college to worsester for a river boat shuffle....and the whole bus sang most of the time 😎👍
Unless you were around at the time- each album had it's own time and space, the same level of power the LIVE album summed it all up after that they changed direction moved on but it didn't mean they were anything but The Quo it's all a matter of taste after that. I still don't rate albums as favourites they all have something you can only experience if you did the gigs through out. So don't say this album is better than the next or that album is better than ... it's about how were at the time and who you were. Each album has it's good points Quo were and always were a good band, don't criticise and they didn't end in 1986 ...
Montrose! Their debut is my favourite album of all time (along with Aerosmith's 'Rocks'). It heavily influenced Van Halen's first album, with same studio, same guitar sound, Eddie using Ronnie Montrose's guitar amp, same producer and same label. Sammy Hagar's vocals on that Montrose album are as raw as exposed nerves. Loved Nine Inch Nails hate Korn.
Quo’. Is my number 1. But close call with Hello and Piledriver. and On the Level. Love the early stuff. But saw them 1st time in 77’. At Lewisham Odeon (sadly no longer there).
Hughesy Plays That’s a difficult one... Backwater is up there but Love Slow Train, Don’t Waste my time, Roll over Lay Down , Big Fat Mama, there’s so many I could just keep going.. Blue eyed Lady, Mystery song(Full version). Down Down, A bit later Dirty Water, Whatever you want. But love I saw the light and What to do...
You are on a plain and Francis Rossi sits next to you,he ask what your favourite quo song is and it has to be a choice of two,in return he will give you a signed fender telecaster. What song do you go with?
I'm surprised, 'Never Too Late', was ranked so low. My philosophy has always been to have the frame of mind to view each album as a snapshot of the time it was written and recorded, as to what the band where about at the time. Everyone is wiser after the event and can question why they did this or that, but at the time, I'm sure they felt what they committed to record was what they considered to be what they were at the time. Sure, everyone has their own personal preferences and can choose one album over another, but I've always felt it's far more productive to take away the positives of any of their records, rather than to focus on the negativity of era, genre and/or personnel. Those who make claims that the music isn't as good after a certain time, doesn't quite fit into what they personally think Quo should be writing/producing, or because a certain member is no longer present, are simply denying themselves. Their choice, of course, and if that's what they really think, then fine, but it doesn't detract from the point that they're basically cutting off their noses to spite their face and missing out on some genuinely good songs.
Love Quo I'm in minority as I really like ain't complaining but as you say not really Quo but it was second Quo album I had first I bought as in the army now was xmas present in 86. But yeah my favourites are spare parts to ain't complaining. Do like later albums as well.
Cool comments. Old fans will dismiss any quo after rockin all over the world,probably without a listen to anything,my dad gives every album a chance,sometimes rooting for the crap ones that are bad,but they have released good albums just not on the level (pun intended) as the old
Stopped listening to Quo after Rossi turned them from a heads down rock band into an end of the pier, novelty, pop act. Pip Williams needs to take some of the blame for watering down their sound and Rossi's decision to end the Frantic Four line up.
Piledriver-Quo-On The Level-Hello-Blue For You-Dog Of Two Head-Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon. Everything else is crap, particularly after Coughlin and Lancaster went.
Alot of quo die hards feel like that but I live If you can't the. New Quo vid up! Tickets life memorabelia heat!ruclips.net/video/u3bUQF_Lv1Q/видео.html
Pity you never saw them live in 1970s with original line up .You'd probably bin your 21 -31 choices...Lol 😄 With Quo the further you go back the tighter and better they get esp before 1982 . I'd have chosen your top 3 as well 🎸🎸🎶👍👌
I think it comes down to perspective and experience. You lived them before they went soft so I can imagine how it felt. I saw them for the first time in 95 so they were decades into being a commercial family band
That’s right ‘ quo have not made a brilliant album since blue for you ‘ they’ve made a few decent albums since but nothing outstanding. And as for the new album it’s is very poor’ too light not many quo riffs and doesn’t really rock .
My fave songs from the album are go go go, bula bula quo, looking out for Caroline and mystery island- lovely song from Rick. It sort of brings out the living on an island song too in a way
NEVER TOO LATE IS A VERY INTELLIGENT ALBUM. IT IS ONE OF THEIR BETTER ALBUMS. PROOF THAT IT WASN'T THE MUSIC THAT FORCED SPUD TO LEAVE THE BAND, IT WAS ROSSI. FRAME IS WHAT I CALL ' THE ANTI-QUO ' MY 'COMICAL' ATTEMPT AT ELEVIATING THE DEEP SADNESS AT LOSING OUR GREAT BAND IS TO CLAIM THAT ALIENS ABDUCTED THE 'REAL' ROSSI AND REPLACED HIM WITH 'THE ANTI-QUO'. SOME OF THE POST-FRANTIC FOUR ALBUMS HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE UNDER THE NAME STATUS QUO, WE KNOW WHICH ONES I MEAN. THEY BETRAY THE QUO TRADEMARK. THEY BETRAY THE GENUINE QUO SUPPORTERS. I AM A VERY PASSIONATE MUSIC LOVER AND I LOVE 'BLESSED ARE THE MEEK' FROM UTI, BUT IT'S NOT QUO!!!!!!! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS TO SING ALONG TO. I ALSO LOVE BANDS LIKE DEAD KENNEDYS, GANG OF FOUR, SEX PISTOLS, RAMONES, I LOVE A LOT OF ALTERNATE AND DIY BANDS AND ARTISTS. I LOVE THE STOOGES AND MC5, BUZZCOCKS, IN AUSTRALIA, THERE WERE AND ARE 100'S OF AWESOME ROCK BANDS LIKE CELIBATE RIFLES, LIME SPIDERS, SPY VSPY, YOU AM I, THE SAINTS, RADIO BIRDMAN, NEW CHRISTS, X, the Meanies, Frenzal Rhomb, and Screamfeeder & the Hard-Ons FROM THE 'MEAN' STREETS OF PUNCHBOWL, SYDNEY. THE CASANOVAS FROM MELBOURNE, WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW GREAT THEY ARE, THEN THERE'S THE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON SEATTLE GRUNGE SCENE. AFTER PLAYING 'NIGHTRIDE' ON MY DRUMKIT, I'M CLOSE TO EXPLODING ( I HIT MY KIT VERY HARD, WITH VERY THICK STICKS ) SPLINTERS COME OFF THE HIGH HAT, SOME HIT ME IN THE FACE. I ALSO LOVE MOZART. I LOVE ARTISTS THAT ARE TRUE TO THEMSELVES AND THAT'S WHAT THE SEX PISTOLS LIKED ABOUT QUO. THE SEX PISTOLS RESPECTED QUO FOR NOT CARING WHAT THE MAINSTREAM AND MEDIA THOUGHT OR SAID ABOUT THEM. I WOULD'VE PREFERRED QUO TO STEER TOWARDS HARD RHYTHMIC ROCK, EVEN ANTI-COMMERCIAL ROCK THAN SOFT MAINSTREAM/COUNTRY MUSIC. PROBLEM WAS THAT ROSSI KNEW WHERE 'THE BODIES WERE BURIED' PLUS HE'S THE BEST LEAD GUITARIST AND SINGER A ROCK BAND COULD WISH TO HAVE APART FROM REG PARFITT. SO ROSSI WAS PROBABLY IRREPLACEABLE. I LOVE THEIR 60'S PSYCH POP/ROCK AND THEIR TRANSITION TO MA KELLY'S AND DOG OF TWO HEAD. SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY THAT THE 80'S AND 90'S QUO APART FROM THE EXCELLENT ROCK TIL YOU DROP ALBUM WAS ALSO A NATURAL CHANGE & TRANSITION. THE FACT THAT QUO HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING FOR MANY DECADES IN DIFFERENT FORMS MEANS THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO 'COME BACK' AND PRODUCE SOME OF THE BEST ROCK ALBUMS, NOT JUST BY THEM BUT BY ANYONE, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, 4TH CHORD, QUID PRO QUO, BULA QUO (ROCK TRACKS ) THESE ALBUMS ARE VERY CLEVER AND WELL PRODUCED. I FEEL THAT CREEPIN' UP ON YOU IS ONE OF THEIR FINEST MOMENTS. I PERSONALLY LOVE RIFFS AND FITLCENTURY, IN FACT I THINK THEY ARE BRILLIANT. THE IRONY IS THAT QUO ARE DAMNED IF THEY REPEAT THE 3 CHORD BOOGIE AND ALSO DAMNED IF THEY TRY DIFFERENT STYLES. THE QUO JOURNEY IS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. HANG ON TIGHT.............................OR JUMP OFF!!

I'm a Quo fan and disagree with your ranking... Never too late is a good album with very good songs... Heavy traffic should be in the top 10 at least... In the army now is too high in your ranking as well as Dog of 2 heads... well my favourite number 1 is Quo album...
Never Too Late is not dross, it's in my Quo Top 10. It's got Tale Me Away, Oh Carol, Don't Stop Me Now, Mountain Lady, Riverside, great songs!!! You have Thirsty Work and the dreadful Don't Stop above NTL!!! Backbone, sorry, has nothing. ITAN arghhhhhhh horrible album. UTI, awful songs throughout. 1. Hello 2. Piledriver 3. Quo 4. On The Level 5. Ma Kellys Greasy Spoon 6. Blue For You 7. Dog of Two Head 8. Whatever You Want 9. Never Too Late 10. Rockin All Over The World 11. Just Supposin 12. If You Can't Stand The Heat 13. Heavy Traffic 14. Rock Til You Drop 15. 1982 16. Picturesque Matchstickable Messages 17. Spare Parts 18.Back 2 Back 19. Rock Til You Drop 20. 4th Chord 21. Party Ain't Over Yet 22. Perfect Remedy 23. Riffs 24. From The Last Century 25. ITAN 26.Don't Stop 27. Ain't Complaining 28.Under The Influence 29.Thirsty Work 30. Backbone 31. Bula Quo
We virtually agree on the top 10 then. Cheers for your input dude appreciate that!!! If you can't stand the heats a good en. Thirsty work is my preference with the guitar riffs and songwriting in areas. Over produced but not having Backbone above that sorry! Appreciate your love for quo least we agree on Hello number 1!!
I’d have Under The Influence a lot higher. It’s fantastic. Even Thirsty Work and Backbone id put quite a bit higher too but each to their own. Number one is Blue For You. I probably agree about your bottom pick. You also left the mighty Quid Pro Quo out
Spare Parts is way too high here, it’s really not very good, in fact I’d put it last, the one you’ve ranked way way too low is Quid Pro Quo as others have already commented on, it’s better than the two albums before it. My favourite is On The Level. Good video
I like quid pro but I feel it misses the raw bluesy quality of other albums. It does rock though but when it came out it completely bypassed me as another good fun quo record. Nothing more nothing less. Plus the cover looks like a map for a school science museum trip. I really like in search of the fourth chord but again non are a patch on under the influence or thirsty work for me. They lack that tender heart
New Quo Video up now guys,tickets life and memorabelia! ruclips.net/video/u3bUQF_Lv1Q/видео.html
for me there are 5 albums that should all be joint number 1, Piledriver. Quo, Hello, On the level, and Blue for you. Classic albums from a band that made the 3 chords raw sound their own.
They could forge a double album or a greatest hits I agree! My dad loves the Francis Rossi autobiography!
Exactly what I would pick , ma Kelly,s greasy spoon was a great early album that I loved also
It's a bluesy groover I love it! Cheers for watching!
Not a big fan like yourself (never like anything after Blue for You), but I really enjoyed your ranking. I just love listening to people who enjoy music as much as me. keep up the good work 😃🤘🎸.

Exactly!! Spot on!!
Thanks. I have 5 of your top ten and love them all. I will listen to the others. Here in US Whatever you want was released as Now Hear This.
Awesome John cheers for watching dude🍺🇬🇧👍
Unless you have (in any order) Dog of Two Head, Piledriver, Hello, Quo, On the Level, Blue For You and the original Live album as your top seven this is a waste of time. The rest is at best mediocre, at worst totally forgettable. Rocking all over the World was a massive disappointment following those seven, and for me the beginning of the end.
All on vinyl! My dad's!
@@hughesyplays The Legacy of those seven albums has seen them stay relevant for another 43 years.
@@4stevio History brother✌️🇬🇧✌️🍺🤘
@@hughesyplays I saw the Frantic Four play live 27 times. A lot of those stick in memory. Fourth row Birmingham Odeon, 1977 the Rockin all Over tour. Curtain at the front of the stage, as the lights go down the drone starts up, projected on to the curtain is STATUS QUO..ROCKING ALL OVER THE WORLD. The places they’ve already been to on the tour start rolling around on the screen, as it hits Birmingham Rick starts the Caroline intro, the curtain goes up and the band are centre stage in the same stance as on the front of the Piledriver album. They stay like that, hair down, ripping out the Caroline intro until the vocal kicks in, at which point they break up and rock out. Magical, I’ll never forget that.
Dad was probably at the Manchester Apollo,he's told me all the stories of the cues,stretching for miles,a biker club looking guy tapping him on the shoulder my mum getting scared and he was just asking my dad how much the program was!
👍👍👍100% enthusiastic and honest. Sound and accurate. Brilliant review!👌
Thanks and "HELLO!" from🇫🇷 to you and your dad. Yep! I'm a 🐸 Quo fan. Got to know them when I was 13, back in 1981 and first saw them at Old Trafford, June 1991. Just registered to your channel. 🤘
Thanks for watching brother!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
@@hughesyplays It broadened my view. I still have a lot to discover I guess.

I agree with the new rythum guitarest i think hes doing a swell job! Went to see Quo in 2016 and it was brillant! I love Quo as well! I think Ritchie is fillin the big shoes and puttin his own stamp to it..
Spot on dude!
'Rhythm'
Can't believe you missed out the double live
I know but that's a no brainer I just thought I'd do studio albums cos then you have to put in aquoustics etc..
@@hughesyplays I get that...but at the time you had in the 70s a lot if double live albums..deep purple..led zep...Peter frampton. Etc.....quo was top draw live album.....thin lizzy pretty good too...
I know but it's a greatest hits of like pildriver,hello,blue for you and quo, so I thought leave it
good review fair play
Thanks for watching Evz🤘🍺
Great review. Don't agree with some of it but you can tell its from the heart. Most people would agree with the top few I'm sure.
Fair enough! Cheers for watching
Good to see all these albums. Not all available in South Africa unfortuanetly.
Can you order them off Amazon even or Spotify them?
Anything after 81....forget it! As soon as they brought in outside producers it went down hill.
My dad always admits it was never the same but he always rooted for every release,even singing the don't stop album in 96 in the car! Came to a point where he had francis' voice style down. 😅😅
@@hughesyplays sounds like your dad and would have got along! 👍🏻
Everyone turned to shit in the 80's.....terrible decade for music.
I get the point about outside producers too. Saxon did a similar thing and tried going all Def Leppard. 😂
my favourite songs and albums are from the original band (being 55 yrs old) but we cannot slate Rhino, He is a fantastic bass guitarist. #1 "hello" definitely
Cheers for watching! I agree rhino put the fun in quo! A mainstay for them live and an important part of the band! Huge stage presence great guy
Nice list. I essentially stopped buying Quo albums after In The Army Now, with the exception of Heavy Traffic, In search of the Fourth Chord and Quid Pro Quo. I would rank those three higher than Back to Back, 1982 and In The Army Now.
I'm loving the love for quid pro!! I actually like in search of the fourth and familiar to millions.
Was your dad, like us, queueing up at 4am? Yes I remember a couple of bikers ' having a word' with a few of the heavy handed security. Great gig though, then we all piled into Jilly's rock club after the show (your dad may know that club).
I used to go Jillys in the 2000s,I'm 39 so remember the nine inch nails n korn days!
First time dad saw quo was 73 belview kings hall! Pretty things and Montrose.
Great list. First saw them on Whatever you want tour. Would have put Just Supposin and Whatever you want slightly higher. Never too late should definitely be in the top 10. Take me away is awesome as is Riverside.
My dad likes Riverside alot!

I agree with you about Over and Done. Class song. Again with Little White Lies. Quality song.
I can see why Thirsty Work would be higher for you, than I'd put it.
For me the album suffers from a too polished production for my liking.
I would put Never Too Late higher up as earlier in my life it was only one of two Quo albums where I liked every song in the album. The other was Blue for You.
Since then my tastes have broadened and there are more albums where I like wcwey song on them but even then albums like Hello, On the Level and Rockin' All Over the World all have at least 1 song I don't like.
Cheers for the input! Yeh I agree not every quo song is amazing they have some filler. I like dirty water alot!
1 hello ..2 on the level. 3 live in Glasgow..4 quo...5 blue for you...6 piledriver .7 if you can't stand the heat.......I remember being on a hire bus 1975 going from redditch college to worsester for a river boat shuffle....and the whole bus sang most of the time 😎👍

Never Too Late 26? Nonsense
Fair Play!
Saw Quo in '82, haven't really heard much of the new stuff.
Loved the cover Albums not normal Quo but they did some great songs, one of my fav songs was Walk in the Room.
I like walk in the room. Light but nice number
Unless you were around at the time- each album had it's own time and space, the same level of power the LIVE album summed it all up after that they changed direction moved on but it didn't mean they were anything but The Quo it's all a matter of taste after that. I still don't rate albums as favourites they all have something you can only experience if you did the gigs through out. So don't say this album is better than the next or that album is better than ... it's about how were at the time and who you were. Each album has it's good points Quo were and always were a good band, don't criticise and they didn't end in 1986 ...
Great point its all about preference!
Montrose! Their debut is my favourite album of all time (along with Aerosmith's 'Rocks'). It heavily influenced Van Halen's first album, with same studio, same guitar sound, Eddie using Ronnie Montrose's guitar amp, same producer and same label. Sammy Hagar's vocals on that Montrose album are as raw as exposed nerves. Loved Nine Inch Nails hate Korn.
Then just taste RIOT: "Rock City" from 1977, "Narita" from 1979 and "Fire Down Under" from 1981...enjoy.
Quo’. Is my number 1. But close call with Hello and Piledriver. and On the Level. Love the early stuff. But saw them 1st time in 77’. At Lewisham Odeon (sadly no longer there).
Thanks for watching 👍🍺 favourite quo song?
Hughesy Plays That’s a difficult one... Backwater is up there but Love Slow Train, Don’t Waste my time, Roll over Lay Down , Big Fat Mama, there’s so many I could just keep going.. Blue eyed Lady, Mystery song(Full version). Down Down, A bit later Dirty Water, Whatever you want. But love I saw the light and What to do...
You are on a plain and Francis Rossi sits next to you,he ask what your favourite quo song is and it has to be a choice of two,in return he will give you a signed fender telecaster. What song do you go with?
Backwater/just take me.
Hand in hand live! End of the Road 84!
I'm surprised, 'Never Too Late', was ranked so low.
My philosophy has always been to have the frame of mind to view each album as a snapshot of the time it was written and recorded, as to what the band where about at the time. Everyone is wiser after the event and can question why they did this or that, but at the time, I'm sure they felt what they committed to record was what they considered to be what they were at the time. Sure, everyone has their own personal preferences and can choose one album over another, but I've always felt it's far more productive to take away the positives of any of their records, rather than to focus on the negativity of era, genre and/or personnel. Those who make claims that the music isn't as good after a certain time, doesn't quite fit into what they personally think Quo should be writing/producing, or because a certain member is no longer present, are simply denying themselves. Their choice, of course, and if that's what they really think, then fine, but it doesn't detract from the point that they're basically cutting off their noses to spite their face and missing out on some genuinely good songs.
I just prefer can't stand the heat and thirsty work
so what do you think of the first 2 60s albums?
Psychedelic and experimental but not my favourite quo stuff
I'LL never get this ranking mania. What's the point?
Why comment? What's the point?
@@hughesyplays Rhetorical comebacks never fail to bore me.... ("Retourkutsche fährt nicht.")
Japan
What no quo live?
Studio Albums. That would be 1 2 or 3 in my list
Love Quo I'm in minority as I really like ain't complaining but as you say not really Quo but it was second Quo album I had first I bought as in the army now was xmas present in 86.
But yeah my favourites are spare parts to ain't complaining. Do like later albums as well.
Cool comments. Old fans will dismiss any quo after rockin all over the world,probably without a listen to anything,my dad gives every album a chance,sometimes rooting for the crap ones that are bad,but they have released good albums just not on the level (pun intended) as the old
So what about if you can’t the heat that’s a fantastic album
It's in the list! Love it
I agree with your choice, but your strong accent is hard for me as a german guy to understand.😄
Danke!
Where's blue for you?
Stopped listening to Quo after Rossi turned them from a heads down rock band into an end of the pier, novelty, pop act. Pip Williams needs to take some of the blame for watering down their sound and Rossi's decision to end the Frantic Four line up.
Good point,I thought the keyboards were overly used and corny in some songs but still love thirsty work somehow
and never to late is top 10 to me
Never 'Too Late
wheres blue for you ?
At number 4
I preferred their 90s albums , I thought the original line up sounded like a bunch of kids in a garage live .
Piledriver-Quo-On The Level-Hello-Blue For You-Dog Of Two Head-Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon. Everything else is crap, particularly after Coughlin and Lancaster went.
Alot of quo die hards feel like that but I live If you can't the. New Quo vid up! Tickets life memorabelia heat!ruclips.net/video/u3bUQF_Lv1Q/видео.html
Pity you never saw them live in 1970s with original line up .You'd probably bin your 21 -31 choices...Lol 😄 With Quo the further you go back the tighter and better they get esp before 1982 . I'd have chosen your top 3 as well 🎸🎸🎶👍👌
I think it comes down to perspective and experience. You lived them before they went soft so I can imagine how it felt. I saw them for the first time in 95 so they were decades into being a commercial family band
That’s right ‘ quo have not made a brilliant album since blue for you ‘ they’ve made a few decent albums since but nothing outstanding.
And as for the new album it’s is very poor’ too light not many quo riffs and doesn’t really rock .
Bula quo was a fantastic album
😅😅😅😅
i like it too
😂😂
My fave songs from the album are go go go, bula bula quo, looking out for Caroline and mystery island- lovely song from Rick. It sort of brings out the living on an island song too in a way
Hey whatever margaritas your time!
NEVER TOO LATE IS A VERY INTELLIGENT ALBUM. IT IS ONE OF THEIR BETTER ALBUMS. PROOF THAT IT WASN'T THE MUSIC THAT FORCED SPUD TO LEAVE THE BAND, IT WAS ROSSI.
FRAME IS WHAT I CALL ' THE ANTI-QUO '
MY 'COMICAL' ATTEMPT AT ELEVIATING THE DEEP SADNESS AT LOSING OUR GREAT BAND IS TO CLAIM THAT ALIENS ABDUCTED THE 'REAL' ROSSI AND REPLACED HIM
WITH 'THE ANTI-QUO'.
SOME OF THE POST-FRANTIC FOUR ALBUMS HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE UNDER THE NAME STATUS QUO, WE KNOW WHICH ONES I MEAN.
THEY BETRAY THE QUO TRADEMARK. THEY BETRAY THE GENUINE QUO SUPPORTERS.
I AM A VERY PASSIONATE MUSIC LOVER AND I LOVE 'BLESSED ARE THE MEEK' FROM UTI, BUT IT'S NOT QUO!!!!!!!
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS TO SING ALONG TO.
I ALSO LOVE BANDS LIKE DEAD KENNEDYS, GANG OF FOUR, SEX PISTOLS, RAMONES, I LOVE A LOT OF ALTERNATE AND DIY BANDS AND ARTISTS.
I LOVE THE STOOGES AND MC5, BUZZCOCKS,
IN AUSTRALIA, THERE WERE AND ARE 100'S OF AWESOME ROCK BANDS LIKE CELIBATE RIFLES, LIME SPIDERS, SPY VSPY, YOU AM I, THE SAINTS, RADIO BIRDMAN, NEW CHRISTS, X,
the Meanies, Frenzal Rhomb, and Screamfeeder & the Hard-Ons FROM THE 'MEAN' STREETS OF PUNCHBOWL, SYDNEY. THE CASANOVAS FROM MELBOURNE, WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW GREAT THEY ARE, THEN THERE'S THE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON SEATTLE GRUNGE SCENE.
AFTER PLAYING 'NIGHTRIDE' ON MY DRUMKIT, I'M CLOSE TO EXPLODING ( I HIT MY KIT VERY HARD, WITH VERY THICK STICKS ) SPLINTERS COME OFF THE HIGH HAT, SOME HIT ME IN THE FACE.
I ALSO LOVE MOZART.
I LOVE ARTISTS THAT ARE TRUE TO THEMSELVES AND THAT'S WHAT THE SEX PISTOLS LIKED ABOUT QUO. THE SEX PISTOLS RESPECTED QUO FOR NOT CARING WHAT THE MAINSTREAM AND MEDIA THOUGHT OR SAID ABOUT THEM.
I WOULD'VE PREFERRED QUO TO STEER TOWARDS HARD RHYTHMIC ROCK, EVEN ANTI-COMMERCIAL ROCK THAN SOFT MAINSTREAM/COUNTRY MUSIC.
PROBLEM WAS THAT ROSSI KNEW WHERE 'THE BODIES WERE BURIED' PLUS HE'S THE BEST LEAD GUITARIST AND SINGER A ROCK BAND COULD WISH TO HAVE APART FROM
REG PARFITT. SO ROSSI WAS PROBABLY IRREPLACEABLE.
I LOVE THEIR 60'S PSYCH POP/ROCK AND THEIR TRANSITION TO MA KELLY'S AND DOG OF TWO HEAD.
SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY THAT THE 80'S AND 90'S QUO APART FROM THE EXCELLENT ROCK TIL YOU DROP ALBUM WAS ALSO A NATURAL CHANGE & TRANSITION.
THE FACT THAT QUO HAVE BEEN FUNCTIONING FOR MANY DECADES IN DIFFERENT FORMS MEANS THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO 'COME BACK' AND PRODUCE SOME OF THE BEST ROCK ALBUMS, NOT JUST BY THEM BUT BY ANYONE, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, 4TH CHORD, QUID PRO QUO, BULA QUO (ROCK TRACKS ) THESE ALBUMS ARE VERY CLEVER AND WELL PRODUCED.
I FEEL THAT CREEPIN' UP ON YOU IS ONE OF THEIR FINEST MOMENTS.
I PERSONALLY LOVE RIFFS AND FITLCENTURY, IN FACT I THINK THEY ARE BRILLIANT.
THE IRONY IS THAT QUO ARE DAMNED IF THEY REPEAT THE 3 CHORD BOOGIE AND ALSO DAMNED IF THEY TRY DIFFERENT STYLES.
THE QUO JOURNEY IS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.
HANG ON TIGHT.............................OR JUMP OFF!!

Perfect remedy better than quid pro Quo. You're having a laugh.

I prefer it!!
@@hughesyplays each to their own. Thirsty work below QPQ too. As long as we all love The Quo does it matter.
Quid Pro is becoming a cult classic on this page!
It’s the album he ranked way too low. I’d have it just inside the top 10. Perfect Remedy isn’t very good lol. Only Spare Parts is worse
Live album 77 Is the best album
never topped the debut again in my opinion
Fair Point. Dad loves Piledriver
All down to personal taste at the end of the day, I rank Piledriver the best and Don't Stop the worst....
Nice! Cheers for the input. You don't like All Around My Hat?😂😂😂
Hi my favourite quo album blue for you dog of two heads
Worst = 1+9+8+2
They have worse albums. Worst for me is either Spare Parts or Perfect Remedy
I like bula quo bit of fun the clip is great

Never Too Late is not dross, it's in my Quo Top 10. It's got Tale Me Away, Oh Carol, Don't Stop Me Now, Mountain Lady, Riverside, great songs!!! You have Thirsty Work and the dreadful Don't Stop above NTL!!! Backbone, sorry, has nothing. ITAN arghhhhhhh horrible album. UTI, awful songs throughout.

I’d have Under The Influence a lot higher. It’s fantastic. Even Thirsty Work and Backbone id put quite a bit higher too but each to their own. Number one is Blue For You. I probably agree about your bottom pick. You also left the mighty Quid Pro Quo out
@@JCStorm76 I put it in but not in my top 10 or 20

He obviously never saw them at their peak, this should of been a top ten of Quo albums, lets be honest 21 of the 31 are pretty awful.
I bring the heavy traffic with the rain
After 86 the Quo dies
I take it you didn't like Margarita Time?
@@hughesyplays you got that right my friend .
🍸👍
Spare Parts is way too high here, it’s really not very good, in fact I’d put it last, the one you’ve ranked way way too low is Quid Pro Quo as others have already commented on, it’s better than the two albums before it.
My favourite is On The Level.
Good video
I like quid pro but I feel it misses the raw bluesy quality of other albums. It does rock though but when it came out it completely bypassed me as another good fun quo record. Nothing more nothing less. Plus the cover looks like a map for a school science museum trip. I really like in search of the fourth chord but again non are a patch on under the influence or thirsty work for me. They lack that tender heart
@@hughesyplays I agree those two albums are both underrated.
What do you think of Thirsty Work MJ?
@@hughesyplays I really like it and Under The Influence too, both very underrated. Under The Influence I probably like a tad more
Thirsty work was horrible haha
I love it!! Fair enough not your cup of tea!
