I like it a lot, among the better songs on the IYCSTH album (though it’s a rather weak album and was a big dissapointment when it was released the only real skippers for me has always been I’m giving up my worryin’ and Accident prone) For me Accident Prone is the best track on the album.

A brief era of super-short Rossi guitar solos in songs... this one, Stones, Long-Legged Linda, Like A Good Girl...
Then again, possibly more solos than were on the RAOTW album.

Exactly, and supports my point that I think there was a big shift between BFY, and RAOTW, and from then on we are witnessing a different band. Of course during live gigs you'd never notice this, they obviously played safe not to annoy the audience. But in hindsight can you imagine the damage had they played songs like Baby boy, I'm giving up my worrying live, I think Quo's popularity would have dwindled much sooner than it did in the late 80's.

Another song that proves to me that Alan was starting to write pish well before anyone else.

I quite like this one, one of the better songs on the album for me.

Yep. I like that one too. It is a bit disco Quo but that don't bother me. It's a song I can sing along to (when I'm sure nobody can hear me ofcourse!)😂😂😂😉

Agree with the majority here that the best thing about it is the lead break and outro, basically from 1:44 onwards it's fine & turns into a quo track that most Quo albums could live with, just a shame the first half of the track sounds like it does, just a bit flimsy if you like.
So yeah, from 1:44 onwards it's fine, great little solo & outro, but overall the song & first half is weak & below par for Quo.

If you put all Alan's Quo stuff in alphabetical order, Hard Ride follows on from this one and it seems to make better sense.
