I voted NTL first but I withdrew it, Gates, sorry. I do like certain CQ albums... but it's not the FF...two different bands for me.. don't know how to explain it any further, but it's just something I can't vote on.

I'm of a similar mind to Victor. Of the old sound, they went off the boil for me by 1982. That is going from memory as I've listened to those old albums in years. But I quite like ISOTFC and HT from CQ. I've got Quid but I don't rate it all. And I don't think I'll bother with the middle ones I've missed from reports I've read online and youtube clips.

Good - Just Supposin'
Great - Blue For You
I thought Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon was the first great album, Dog Of Two Head was better & Piledriver was the peak, imo. Hello! was still a great album but I thought Quo was better, On The Level not quite as good & Blue For You the last of that run of great albums.
Then it was the start of a new era in terms of Quo's output, with If You Can't Stand The Heat the nadir. Whatever You Want was a good album & Just Supposin' was better, imo, but Never Too Late seemed weak & almost unfinished.
So, for me, there's a succession of albums where I feel they'd never release anything quite as good again: Piledriver ; Quo ; On The Level ; Blue For You ; Just Supposin'.

I went for Whatever You Want initially - but then re-read it as the last GREAT album , so whilst I think its good (JS and NTL are ok) , I have had to go back to Blue for You as the last great album.

I went for RAOTW. Such a disappointment when it was released in the 70s, but the remix is sensational and stands alongside On The Level and Blue For You imo.

Like the vote for pmmft. My wife, who loved 60's Quo, would agree (she bought it, and Quotations). Though she might stretch to Spare Parts. She has good taste  As you know, I love 60's Quo as well
However, obviously what followed on immediately from that is also much appreciated 
I'm in a similar position to Victor with voting. I am a born FF fan first and foremost for sure, but also like various CQ products and I didn't stop following Quo post 85.
So I haven't voted on the poll, but for what it is worth I would choose OTL as the best of a fantastic bunch in the 70's (I still really like material on BFY etc that followed it) and for CQ I would choose ISOTFC.

Overall, all in all, a great album... the last good studio album... off the top of my head, I'd say Blue For You.
But then Whatever You Want was another good album, as was Rock Til You Drop a few years later. And let's not forget Under the Influence.
Sorry, can't decide.

It seems that this is a tricky poll... Yes , and why ? because many on here got in to the band In the 80s/90s and just don't get the BUZZ that the great 70s albums have . Weird bunch if you ask me .

Never Too Late for me. No coincidence that this is the last one with Spud on it. Yes dropped off after BFY but imo WYW, JS and NTL were still great albums.
Like HT, ISOTFC and QPQ too but they are good in places, with a lot of shite on them too, and certainly not great.
