Just a bit of fun really, I haven't listed my version yet as I dont want to influence anyone's reaction.
But if you could pick just one track from each of Quo's albums of studio material what would they be?
I have allowed the covers albums to be included, but you can skip those if you wish.
No live tracks please as they are obviously on albums anyway.
So anything from Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from The Status Quo through to Backbone.
Have fun 😏

It's something I've done in my head over the years. Basically, my favourite track from each album. Make an interesting playlist. I'll get round to that in a bit. The Nespresso machine is calling  |

Great idea, but it’ll take some time (lots of darlings to kill, so to say), I’ll come back with a list later today!

A bit of nostalgia. And bearing in mind that I didn't encounter most of the classic albums till after they were released, it's something I have to ponder on.
PMMess There isn't one. (I don't count bonus tracks.)
SP None
Ma Kelly Daughter (but lots of other good things)
Dog Gerdundula closely followed by Umeitlung (I guess I had a spelling thing going at the time.)
Pile Oh Baby, closely followed by lots of other things.
Hello ROLD (I have assigned 4500 special "sui generis" status.)
Quo Backwater probably, but nearly everything.
OTL Down Down
BFY Mystery Song (It should be Is There a Better Way, but nothing trumps Mystery Song)
Rockin Hold You Back
Heat Accident Prone. I don't even have to think about the track list
WYW Living on an Island
Supposin Ooh Ow Ouch RocknRoll. Just
Never too late Take Me Away
1982 Big Man
B2B Margie Time. (I always liked it. World's most irritating riff.)
ITAN itan
AC Don't mind if I do
PR The Power of Rock
RTYD 4500 Times revised
TW Tango
UTI The Way it Goes
HT Blues and Rhythm by a narrow margin
Party All that counts is love
4th Chord Pennsylvania Blues
QPQ I don't know. I quite like the album..
Bula Q Running inside my head (I think it's the only one.)
Aquostics I like a couple of the ballads, I don't like anything else.
Backbone Waiting for a Woman (by a mile)
Lookin' at that, that's quite a lot of albums ...
