Drove to work and listened to Blue For You on the way in and Quo on the wsy home. Absolute class albums and really enjoyed them both, but which is better. Got me thinking how do you rate them.
Came up with this , obviously not fair but hey ho, if it creates debate so be it.
Each catagory scored on a 1point must system
Side 1
Opening track
Middle tracks
Closing track
And the same for side 2.
So after much deliberation and tin hat time here we go.
Backwater v Is there a Better Way.
Got to be a 1-0 to Quo here. Whilst I like ITAB it has never done it for me esoecially live. Tap in to be fair. Easy one for Quo.
Middle tracks. Despite the superiority of numbers in midfield and two classics in Mad About the Boy and Ring of a Change , they cannot touch two personel faves in Just Take Me , with spuds drive and drums and the fancy triple solo of Break The Rules 2-0 to Quo.
Closing track
BfY strikes back with a late one, I am rather partial to Rain and that takes it over Drifting Away. 2-1
Half Time Quo 2- 1 Blue For You
Second half to follow.

Yep, great idea - hope it doesn’t go to penalties!! (in that case, using the cover art as a decider, it’s gotta be ‘Quo’ 🤞)
I predict a victory for Quo😉

BFY for me. Provides the balance for Quo and OTL. Everyone has a go.

Quo for me, Better team, more complete! If it is a final QUO will beat anyone , Like Real Madrid, and I have to say I am a big Barça supporter  |

So the second half kicks off with it delicately poised at Quo 2 , Blue for You 1 and what a cracking start it is over the opening 5 mins or so. End to end stuff.
Despite wearing the Dont Think It Matters Shirt, Rolling Home has Bobs Harp . I love that on any track and as such Bob sneaks one in the corner 2-2!
A more balanced mid field this time , the Rossi Young Combo of Fine fine fine beating Ease your Mind and the classic Where I am just pipping the QUIRKY Thats a Fact , its a steam rollin by Quo.....three ttw...no hang on Rossi throws his subs on You Lost the Love , ,All through the Night and Wild Side of Life..Lonely Night loses out in this lob sided battle.
Quo 2, Blue for You 3- Blummin VAR that shouldnt have been allowed !
Final 10 mins... and what a heavyweight clash it is The Mighty Slow Train v Mystery Song . How do you choose ? I already have in an earlier thread about closing longer tracks.
Just as Slow Train kicks back in its a last minute equaliser ! Geddinnn
Quo 3 - Blue for You 3
We go to penalties , who would have thought that 🤣

VAR robbed Quo of a win there.
Bonus tracks from the bench and a track from OTL on the pitch 🤣
Was going to go to art work for penalties, for a Quo victory but no, its over to you guys.
Currently Gerh and Juansupposin , have scored for Quo and Raillie slotting one home for BFY
As it stands 2-1 on pennies to Quo
First to 5
I go off on International Duty on Monday,so no match next week.

That a pitch invader wearing a ‘Hello’ shirt?? - no, wait… it’s a ‘Quo tree’ on a black tee!!
Surely worth another point for sheer bravado??

In terms of the respective b-sides previously mentioned, Lonely Night is way better than You Lost The Love, imo. I don't think Wild Side of Life or the excellent All Through The Night should come into it, unless they were recorded in the same sessions.

Can't agree on the Slow Train vs. Mystery Song outcome - Mystery Song is Quo's best song full stop! And that video with Rick as the blonde rock god in the wind machine at the start is just the greatest thing ever! Mind you, Drifting Away spanks the bottom of Rain, so we're back to where we are!
