No to remember tracks from Hello is a very bad sign.

Made my own double-CD of the best of the Noughties. About 75 minutes per CD as standard... CD1 Famous In The Last Century All Stand Up (Never Say Never) (single edit) Heavy Traffic (single edit) Jam Side Down Solid Gold The Madness Green Lucinda Belavista Man Gotta Get Up And Go Nevashooda The Party Ain't Over Yet (single mix) Velvet Train Bad News Beginning Of The End I Ain't Wasting My Time Pennsylvania Blues Tonight You're The One For Me It's Christmas Time (edit) CD2 Any Way You Like It Dust To Gold Leave A Little Light On My Old Ways Rock 'N' Roll 'N' You Two Way Traffic All That Money GoGoGo Mystery Island Never Leave A Friend Behind Mystery Song/Little Lady (Aquostic version) A Mess Of Blues (Aquostic version) Backwater (Aquostic version) Dear John (Aquostic version) In The Army Now (Aquostic version) Is Someone Rocking Your Heart? Backbone (remix) Cut Me Some Slack (remix) Face The Music Liberty Lane Running Out Of Time We could probably come up with a decent tracklist if we all pooled together. Your attempt makes some things better and some worse. I don't hate "Mystery Island" like most here, but I wouldn't put it on a best of. I'd also lose "Nevashooda" and "My Old Ways" and replace them with "I Ain't Ready" and "Let's Rock" and/or "Frozen Hero". And although the official release is definitely stretching it, I would have included one or two tracks from Under the Influence too - that album is pretty much the blueprint for almost every album to follow (except Backbone, which I find more in line with the 70s songs). I heard Backbone and I couldn't remember any tracks the next day When I first heard Hello!, I couldn't remember any tracks the next day except the ones I was already familiar with. Sorry mate, but that isn't a particularly strong argument.  Perhaps so but, for me, I always listen to an album of any artist and I know I like it if something sticks in my mind. Was the same with HT, QPQ and ISOTFC. I don't like BQ but there was a few gems on it that brought me back to it... Backbone, whilst far from bad, there is nothing I can remember from it. Nothing bad about it from memory, just nothing to bring me back. That's just me though |

No to remember tracks from Hello is a very bad sign. Being judgemental about other's musical experiences is worse. Also you must have missed I used to have Hello! listed in that field with "favourite Quo album", so... |

The perception of any album is dictated not only by when, but also the circumstances in which you first heard it. For example, I first heard Hello! one Friday night in September 1973. After school on the day of its release. I was 16 and already pretty obsessed. This album just cemented it. It remains the greatest album I have ever heard, probably because it had the biggest impact on me. I still get goosebumps when I hear it. But had I first listened to it, say, 30 years later, who knows what I'd have thought of it? I'd heard so much music over that period of time, it may not have resonated quite so much. That, and I was no longer an impressionable teenager who had only ever owned less than a dozen albums. You like what you like when you la la like it  |

Favourite Quo Album: On The Level

To take mortified's point above to an extreme, Marguerita Time was the first Quo song i ever heard back in '83 at the age of 8, so i still have a soft spot for it despite the abuse it's been given over the years. It's where my Quo journey began so it's about much more than that tune.
From there, i bought the Going Down Town Tonight single (which i still love). Some might say i entered the fray at one of the worst times!
Still, in that small period during 83-84, i managed to get hold of Twelve Gold Bars Vol 1+2, the To Be Or Not To Be album of B-sides, and found a knackered old copy of the She Don't Fool Me single in my cousin's bedroom (which i still love), with Never Too Late as the B-side - again, i love that too still.
Then there was Live Aid.
And then, Rollin' Home. And it was then with the more polished, 80's production, i started to question what was going on. As a 10 year old, i found it weird that Alan had been sacked from his own band. He must have done something really bad, i thought.
A lot of it steeped in nostalgia though. And why not.

the boogie where is it on bb ? Cut Me Some Slack, I Wanna Run Away With You, Get Out of My Head and Falling Off the World all qualify as boogie. Edit: They're shuffles. I really should stop talking out of my @ss. |

How many concerts did they professionally record in this era? Also, what are people's thoughts on the 3rd disc in this set? It's not available on streaming, so it would be the main draw for me to buy the compilation. |

Well; 2001 - Various live tracks from the shows featured in the "Rock on... and on" doc (Manchester Apollo, Brentwood Centre, Dundee Caird Hall, Bournemouth B.I.C., and Wembley Arena) 2002 - The One & Only (4th July, White City Television Centre - only broadcast seems to exist) 2003 - Neza Mexico (albeit a capture of the screen-feed), Heitere Open-Air Festival (10th August) 2004 - Montreux Jazz Festival (4th July), Zurich Airport (10th September, screen-feed footage) 2005 - Basel AVO Sessions (10th November) etc... |
