I like When I'm Dead And Gone and Rave On.
The rest of it is a pile of steaming cack made even worse by having that bitch Thatcher on the cover.

I do remember seeing them perform Hound Dog on TV and thinking it was just awful and that they had definitely sunk as low as they possibly could get. I remember (unable to forget) Hound Dog on the TV, it really was a dark moment (see what I did there), cringeworthy and embarrassing (to me).

Like I said, not a fan of cover songs, I never thought Quo needed to go down that road. That said I loved their version of Carol, and Something bout you baby I like. I did like The wanderer at the time, but I dont think it's dated well.
Remember being so disappointed to find so many cover songs on Rock til you drop, not what I expected after what should have been a kick up the ass after the weak Perfect Remedy disaster.
I have only played Famous in the last century a couple times, once to see what it was actually like, and again because I couldn't believe how bad it was. I thought the way they covered the songs was dreadful and rushed. Normally Quo put their Quo stamp on a cover, but this just sounded like a pub band down my local club just ploughing through the songs with no real love or affection for the songs. I think the only one that worked was When I'm dead and gone, everything else was shear embarrassment. Quite a contrast from Don't stop, but I didn't think Quo needed to do that either.

I've never seen that Good Golly, Miss Molly clip before. Where's that from? I enjoyed it! That clip is from the Famous In The Last Century VHS and DVD.

Normally Quo put their Quo stamp on a cover... Totally agree, so here's my definitive playlist of Quo's cover versions, minus the dross. What's yours?
(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet I Don't Want You
Spicks And Specks
Green Tambourine Bloodhound Josie
The Price Of Love
Time To Fly
Bye Bye Johnny Junior's Wailing (Live! album version) Wild Side Of Life
Rockin' All Over The World (John Eden remix) Something 'Bout You Baby I Like
Carol Roadhouse Blues (Live At The N.E.C. version)
A Mess Of Blues The Wanderer
The Anniversary Waltz
Bring It On Home Don't Stop The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)
Sea Cruise
Once Bitten Twice Shy
Some would say, contains plenty dross!
