You tuck away their greatest hits, their rockin greats, those awesome live shows and sometimes, just sometimes, you put on that guilty pleasure, a Quo song that shouldn't be in any right-minded Quo fanatic's go-to list, but its in yours and you tell very few about it - except here - and now! OK, so hands up, mine happens to be 'Like a Good Girl' from the Heat album. Always loved the infectious bounce, even the pseudo brass and that outro, just fantastic. There, I've admitted it. So what's yours - and why?

The question is why is this a guilty pleasure?
And the pseudo-brass is actually real brass, I believe.
I think it's a nice song. Fast, rocky, makes you bounce. A quick shuffle, like other before this one. Typical Quo; just a bit more produced.
That fuzz is really good.

I like Margie. It is the most irritating song on the planet, but it stands head and shoulders up just for that reason. (But don't anyone tell Francis.)

I've probably got two. So I'm coming out here after years of hiding behind my rock 'ard but nevertheless fetching exterior  Sail Away and I Know You're Leaving. Not solid gold classics; far from it. But not skip tracks either from two distinctly below par albums. Like A Good Girl is a belter. No guilt or shame in that one. You'll have to do better than that |

Changes all the time but at the moment it's gotta be 'over & done'.  |

Baby Boy is mine. Always liked it and couldn't understand the hate it received from so many on here. I love the nostalgia, Francis' voice, the percussion,... I think it's a gem.
