That’s great you still get that feeling about the band,that’s what music is all about. I had that feeling in 91 when RTYD came out,felt like for a brief moment the Quo I love was back in terms of what they were releasing. Obviously we will all see this differently and yes it says Quo on the tin you’re right there. Just find it hard to get excited anymore about any new Quo release. Cheers At no point has my Status Quo returned with an album since Alan was forced out. Also if I’m honest I am unlikely to get ‘excited’ about a release by any band. For those who like it great, I can’t help think they have little taste in music. As it’s not very good. Very little taste in music - shit, that's a sweeping statement 😂😂😂 Everyone has different opinions and tastes. It'd be a boring world if everyone liked the same music.

Surely you can’t say all Quo albums up to 1982 were great.

Surely you can’t say all Quo albums up to 1982 were great. Didn’t say they were. However I still think of them as my Status Quo. Everything up to and including the Wanderer. Not all great music by any means. Yes 76-84 was peaks and troughs. With a lot of iffy songs in the 80s. But still my Status Quo as it had three vocalists and live a great live band.

Not however going to get in back and forths about it. As I won’t change my view and people are entirely entitled to disagree with my view.

Obviously it depends whether or not you choose to expose yourself to the pre-release process. Marketing seems so much blatant, competititve, and just blanket these days. Then the release itself is so ultimately disposable with the advent of downloading and streaming. The magic has been lost somewhat. Then there's the hype, and the multitude of pre-release reviews, and the forums and websites.
It's probably much better to be a casual fan, or off the radar, or not on the internet full stop!

Don't worry, Tony, you can still play Tarot Woman, without paying tribute to Ritchie B. Considering the writing credits on that song aren't what you'd call accurate I'd hope so. Mind you I only play that stuff live every couple of years, I prefer to live in the now setlist wise. If you ever manage a UK show Tony and you don’t play Tarot Woman, retribution will be swift and ruthless.....

Agree with you. Remember when you took home an album. Poured over sleeves and sleeve notes. Read the lyrics and looked at who wrote what. I’m soundly old but change isn’t always better.

As a 16 year old I was fascinated with those photos in the On The Level Album. An snapshot of daily activities of my favourite rock band. A brilliant marketing idea.

Status Quo get good reviews now, as they are popular with classic rock type magazine readerships.

As I won’t change my view and people are entirely entitled to disagree with my view. You've conflated two points into one here. 1) we all have different views on the music and that is cool. 2) You are using taste in music which is purely subjective as a measure of quality. How can that be? All you end up doing is insulting another member. That is all we are bothered about. All views on Quo are welcome, however strongly they are said. Please don't accuses others of having bad taste. If you're going to argue quality, then find better ways to make that point. Lets up the game of the debate

Would it be a good point in the thread to bring up Marguerita Time?
