THIS is the one that pushed me Over the Edge. Utter tripe. [Apologies to any Tripe-ists on here]

Another one I don't mind too much, some story about who played on it, a lot better than A Mess Of Blues or No Contract
"But remember baby We don't got no contract" Toe curlingly bad.
Why was the album called Back To Back?

First single i ever bought, Quo or otherwise.
Never seen such a good quality version of this performance - wonder where it came from?

Will only be found on my channel She Don't Fool Me is next. Also enhancing the GDTT promo, because I love the video

I like it, like the sounds of keyboard/synthersizers of the 1980's of any band.

I like it, like the sounds of keyboard/synthersizers of the 1980's of any band. Now I'm not one to disagree here but.... Synths were a staple in the 80's; that I do agree with. Electro-pop took a firm hold and some amazing bands came to the fore and are still with us. Bands that I really like to this day. However, Quo's use of the instrument was different. The whole tone of it in particular and it's use to replace or drown out what was obviously a guitar riff I don't think worked. Another prime example of that is I Wonder Why which, for me, is a high pitched and downright nasty assault on the eardrums But then taste is is a strange thing. I'm obviously just easily irritated

By simple virtue of the fact that, well, it's Kylie But Sonja I'm afraid doesn't cut it How to mix effective synths with guitar. Look no further than someone like Erasure. Don't try and recreate Joybringer or ELP 10 years after that hideous noise went out of date
