Again tricky as I love them all. I do now sometimes skip Mean Girl which is strange, as it was probably my favourite from that time. For me it was the first 'typical' Quo sound single that I got into, (way before I got the albums backwards from BFY) and I loved the infectious rhythm of it. But now I think the other songs are more mature even though they were young at the time and experimenting in their writing.
So now, the ones I am most likely to skip are the extractions of Nanana ( not the whole song but that's what I have to vote for) MG and SL.

Mean Girl, although charming, can be skipped. The rest is pretty indespensable.

Umleitung simply because it would benefit from being a few minutes shorter towards that excellent upping of the tempo to close, and Someone's Learning because vocals could be better.
I'm tempted to also vote for Gerdundula because of the over-staged and pretentious circus act it became c/o CQ - but the original deserves much better and it provides a different angle (along with Nanana) in the same way that Lakky Lady, for example, does on MKGS |

oooh this is a hard one . I have used my full allocation , but if restricted to one it would be Nananana and as it appears more than one can I vote each time ?

The way CQ play it for laughs really put me off the song but you're right, the original definitely deserves to be heard. Can't agree on Umleitung though, love it just the way it is |

It feels like I have a pistol pointed at my head and the man behind the pistol says: You Must Choose . I'm sorry Rossi-Young, but I voted for three of your songs: Gerdundela, Railroad and Nanana. |

Can't agree on Umleitung though, love it just the way it is I would probably think differently about the length of Umleitung if I had been old enough to see them play it live! letsrock  The fact that it was an experimental song during that rapid period of change gives it plenty of credit anyway. A big contrast to the latter day "stage entertainment" approach of CQ
Its tough to pick holes in a complete set of songs that all have more merits to them than deficiencies, but that is what the topic asks

I really like Umleitung. Also, I think it is the sexiest song Quo did. Personally I think it's one of the best songs they ever did and it's in my top 5 |

Umleiting and Somethings Going on are right up there as my fave Quo tracks and the best two openers to any of their studio albums with the exception of Backwater and Just Take me ....IMO ...Oh! and Little Lady and Most of The Time ..3rd best opening duo ..
