I wouldn't have a problem with that. Revised list: SQ1 : 1967 - 1970 SQ2 : 1970 - 1976 SQ3 : 1977 - 1981 SQ4 : 1982 - 1985 SQ5 : 1986 - 2000 SQ6 : 2000 - 2013 SQ7 : 2013 - present Not counting FF reunion dates. Anyone want to amend it? Finally, somebody coming around to my way of thinking. I rate them as three bands, however. First, I hate the psychedelic stuff, so I don't care what they were. So, Quo1 -1970-1981 Quo2 - 1981-1986 Quo3 -1986- present The reason for only one Quo 3 is that none of the drummers have had a significant enough impact to matter, although I think Jeff came close at times. Only Coughlan lifted the drumming into something special. Have another listen to Pete Kircher on the live stuff. He had it all there,Quos best drummer IMO Cheers

But for me, Coghlan brought something unique and special to the sound that was never regained.

Good grief, that's what you took away from my post, a typo? Sorry AQ! It's a pet hate of mine, as it's quite a common spelling mistake, and it grinds my gears! I also don't care for the psychedelic stuff. Whilst I agree that this is technically correct: SQ1 : 1967 - 1970 SQ2 : 1970 - 1981 SQ3 : 1982 - 1985 SQ4 : 1986 - 2000 SQ5 : 2000 - 2013 SQ6 : 2013 - present In broad terms, it doesn't feel like there have been 6 different versions of the band. I'd say, if you were to call the FF 'SQ1', then I'm not even sure that I'd call the few years when Pete replaced John 'SQ2' because what we were seeing there was the breakdown of the original band, and Pete was just filling in the drum stool, whilst we waited for the band to implode on itself. So it's more like 'SQ1.5'. Then you've definitely got SQ2 from 1986 onwards. And then to be honest, from 2000 onwards, with Matt & Leon, it's just SQ2.5: the pension top up years.

I really don't have any issues with your take. My only comment is that the stuff 1982-1986 is nowhere near as bad as has been made out...the songwriting, that is. Coked out or not, AL was still there and still had some influence. If the FF re-recorded some of those songs I think they could be classics. Pete, however, might as well have been a drum machine for the influence he had on the songs.

Good grief, that's what you took away from my post, a typo? Don't worry, it's a running joke. There's a famous quote from John in which he says something along the lines of they 'don't care what people write about us, as long as they get the names right!', referring to a consistent misspelling of his own surname.

1977 with Andy Bown, a full time member. I always thought that Andy was made a 'full time member' in 1982.
I played Never Too Late yesterday and noticed that AB isn't included in the names of the group. He is credited along with Bernie Frost as an additional musician.
He may have been playing with them live since the mid 70s (off stage in the wings in 76 and on stage from 77) but if memory serves, he was appointed 'official' status in 1982 as part of the 20th Anniversary publicity - and he appeared in the group shot on 1+9+8+2.
Andy was signed to another record label as solo artist at the time. His contract ended 1982. Thats why he couldn't be credited as a full member of the band. I'm sure the band saw him as a full member of the band though as he played on every song recorded from RAOTW and onwards, both in studio and live.
