Piledriver for me.
One of the best albums by anyone, never mind just Quo.

I've voted for HT on the basis that it will take up the best part of an hour and it's a modern rock album that should get more notice. We've sent for the doctor...just hang on.

Bad production and Alan Lancaster. Well in my opinion it all sounds fine fine fine!! Ok so you don't like it because Alan had more involvement with some of the songs on this album and you don't like Alan, but what's wrong with the production? It sounds great to me? I love the way the songs flow, the clarity of the sound and the differences in styles. If you have to state that you think the album is shite, then at least put 'IMO' after it. Don't get me wrong, Al's a great bloke. I just wasn't a fan of the really hard, gritty sound at the time and think it's quite harsh to the ears. Backwater and Slow Train are the only two I'd say benefited from the production; both fu**ing great tracks too, IMO.

I don't feel as strong as you do about it, however, I have never been able to like Just take me and especially Drifting away !! While I love Alan's voice on Backwater and Don't think it matters I hate it in Drifting away

Well 2 out of 8 tracks ain't exactly brilliant.

It's not as good as anything the FF recorded, but if you're looking for a decent album that people haven't heard of then it fits the bill.

I voted Bula Bula Quo, just to mess with your heads.
Okay, not really. I voted Piledriver, absolutely one of the greatest albums ever made.

While I love Alan's voice on Backwater and Don't think it matters I hate it in Drifting away I thought Alan's singing at the reunion gigs of Backwater and Just Take Me, and the other songs in the set he has vocal parts on, was actually better than ever it was. There was a strength and maturity in his singing that didn't depend on any macho aggression to give feel to the songs.
His singing always gave that essential third dimension to Quo back in the FF days, and provided that ideal contrast to Francis softer nasally tone, but I think sometimes he tried too hard to be different. That is true of the songs you mention on the Quo album - especially Drifting Away.
One thing is for sure, his singing and overall presence has been missed - as the reunions illustrated well.

very true plus he adds a lot of feel when sings... a showman to the bone.
