re: the rock bands you referenced v Quo. I wonder if that's because Quo had more hit singles than those groups and so Quo's sound are known to a wider group of people. eg: I can't name any tracks by ACDC or Iron Maiden just from growing up listening to chart music.

I wonder if that's because Quo had more hit singles than those groups and so Quo's sound are known to a wider group of people. eg: I can't name any tracks by ACDC or Iron Maiden just from growing up listening to chart music. I had the same silly from a YM in our pub talking about tribute bands. This was crossing my mind too. Quo had a longer run of singles than most bands except long-haulers like the Stones and the Beatles, who did chart quite a cross section of stuff. One thing that happened then was that Caroline and Paper Plane charted not far apart, and they do have a very similar "look and feel", which stuck in my mind at the time and may have struck other people the same way. I do recall Run To The Hills by Maiden in the charts, but only because I liked the silly video  PS after doing my first 10 years as a serious Iron Maiden fan, I still can't tell which song the guitar solos come from But why should I care? If I like something, it can sound the same as something else for all I care! Riffs now that is another matter. |

But do you remember any of Maiden of AC in the charts? And can you name their singles? |

Quo singles after Whatever you want were very similar. I must admit after Alan left they had a few hits but couldn't name them. Apart from the dreadful In the Army Now and BB. They haven't had a hit since I think 1990. So you have to be a certain age to remember Quo singles in the charts. I can name many DC and Maiden singles even though I don't really follow them. Maiden, Bring your daughter and AC/DC, Thunderstruck. Also DC in the UK weren't really a singles band in the UK in the way Quo were and wanted to be. |
