Look at this (UK) Heavy Metal chart from 1986: In The Army Now at #2... Quo Heavy Metal? 'In The Army Now' Heavy Metal? 'Invitation' Heavy Metal?  |

I think Heart and ZZ Top (especially Afterburner) are slightly more concerning.

I don't think Pyromania should be on there either. Hard Rock at most, not heavy metal. Same for Bon Jovi. Heavy Metal  |

I guess "the best selling albums by fans with a rock following" would have been very fair, esp if the likes of Fleetwood Mac and the stones were included, but that might not have been very snappy!

Were Quo going for 'Futuristic Heavy Metal'?

I don't think Quo have ever been Heavy Metal.
Hard Rock was probably the best term for them in the early 70's.
Rock would be the phrase I would use.
