I read today a comment similar to this about Rick’s song from the radio yesterday.
I have to agree it surely wouldn’t have made any album 70-81. It’s not even as good as lesser 70s songs such as Baby boy or For you.
But there again they haven’t written anything after 81 that is as good as those songs.
Between 70 and 76. They recorded great albums. And very good ones from 77-81. The Heat and Rockin being the weakest to me.
They for me didn’t write a great song at all after 81. Not one member of the band. Since 85 you could make an ep of decent
songs. And not a long one.
Its pointless comparing classic Quo to post 81 Status Quo. It’s simply inferior. I read it was the drugs. So what’s there excuse since they cleaned up.
Slow songs have never been Quos best type of song. Although they’ve wrote some great ones.
Is any one expecting Rick to have suddenly recorded an album as good as the 70s... well only a fool would.
Look at his writing 85 to 2014. How many good songs never mind great ones. How many by Francis or anyone else.
Some people get a kick out of trying to upset people. Trying to prove they are loyal to Francis and whatever lineup he now has.
But I guess nothings changed. Been like that since 85.
