Well it's kinda a quiz, or maybe a competition...... but the title says it all (hopefully ). Quo's massively successful single Restless eclipsed many of their earlier works, and undoubtedly would have been the opening track and anthem of 'Live Aid' had Quo written it a decade earlier. It's funky tempo merged with sensitive use of a full orchestra gives a passionate composition, and refined lyrics like "And I'm restless, darling I'm restless" never failing to move even the hardest of rock fans close to tears. 5 out of 5.

In The Army Now - This song is now THE Anthem for the hardcore fans of the Quo, far better than the frantic four 3 chord boogie nonsense of the 70's. I can only imagine when its played live, the fans will be routed to the spot, waiting for the stand up and fight piece, before going for that well earned piss and a pint.

"Tommy" has a number of notes and words that have been put together to form a song.

Well here we are at the Hammersmith Eventim (Odeon) theatre in London. We are witnessing the long awaited reunion of the Mighty Status Quo AKA The Frantic Four after a gap of 31 years. Fans have been arriving from all over the world to witness this momentous event. The sold out partisan and boisterous crowd are in full voice awaiting their heroes. The black curtain featuring the classic Hello album cover pokes through the swirling dry ice. There is a loudspeaker announcement with the `Is there anybody out there that wants to rock.....` intro familiar to the Quo hoards. The lights dim, the curtain drops and the band are there waving to the ecstatic crowd. They then fire up their instruments and then proceed to hammer into Margarita Time. The adoring crowd sing every word, tears drop from fans faces as there would never believe they would ever see this line up ever again. This it total emotion. After this the band can do no wrong as they belt out classics such as Its Christmas Time, The Anniversary Waltz, The Anniversary Waltz Part 2, Jam Side Down and a firm fan favorite Restless. After a set that lasts about ninety minutes an encore that consists of Fun, Fun, Fun and All Around My Hat, the band leave the stage to thunderous applause and retire to their dressing rooms knowing that they will never go back to their heavier sound disliked by all.

One of the very best Quo album cover designs has to be that of the seminal 80s album 'Perfect Remedy'. With it's bright, rainbow-infused appearance, the featured jukebox can't fail to bring the kind of smile to people which can only be found in memories of nights spent with friends in a smoky pub. The one weakness of this masterpiece has to be the tatty old shoes and guitars plonked in front of it, but aside that it's a piece of excellence best enjoyed kept within it's sealed cellophane wrapper.

Again & Again
A lyrical classic and a complete slap in the face for the "All sound the same" brigade. A journey through the life and times of a rock n roll innovator. This classic song charts his rise, fall and resurgence..again.
