Not sure about this one.... Definitely MOTT Then probably LL, ISTL and.... I think it has to be DD. Yes I'll go with those for the time being anyway!

I Saw The Light is my personal favourite from this album, Down Down is classic Quo single material at it's best, Little Lady/Most Of The Time a wonderful pairing on the album & in concert (just as well it's not listed as one option as it saves me having to choose between What To Do & Over & Done).

Little Lady Over And Done Down Down Broken Man
If it was the 2006 remastered edition we were voting for, then I would of had: Roll Over Lay Down (live) & Roadhouse Blues (live) as 2 of my selections.

Down Down is a song we've all heard so many times, perhaps it has worn thin - but the song itself is to me sheer genius. For those unaware, not many I guess, it is played in Open G tuning and makes extremely effective use of it - rings like a bell - What Gates says! I don't know of anything else out there in the big wide world that sounds much like it, either, Quo or Non Quo.

A favourite all-time Quo album. There is no duff song anywhere on this album and they range from good (as a minimum) to excellent at best.
For purposes of the poll, I chose 3. MOTT, ISTL and the wonderful O&D.
BBJ was always a thunderous heads-down climax to the gig, but has suffered through endless years of chorus pantomime and is way too predictable in that respect. Substituting some bluesy guitar licks instead of repetitive happy clappy chorus chant might help - but its not going to happen at this very late stage.
I also agree about Down Down. Whatever the technicalities of the tuning are, it is classic crystalline Quo

Almost impossible to choose, really painful to only pick four songs from this 100% perfect album! After some agony I decided to vote for Little Lady, MOTT, Nightride and Over And Done (I will probably change my mind soon, never thought that day would come when I didnt vote for I Saw the Light - blimey, it will not be easy to sleep this night....)

I voted for them all, apart from Bye Bye Johnny , which came a close 10th. But the four that counted were at the time of my vote, I think in 9, 8, 7 and 6th place . My favourite Quo album .

Would love to hear the whole album LIVE. letsrock me too. that would be a gig remember. it would work too. I've always thought Little Lady would be a good opener and BBJ obviously works as a closer.
