That was quite easy , far easier than Piledriver anyway . All The reasons , And Its Better Now, then a bit of a toss up between Claudie and Blue Eyed Lady but not too hard Claudie gets it. I just prefer the chuggalongs. Really not looking forward to the next one though ............. 3 least best tracks your having a laugh!

I will keep that generous option in mind, M'lord! Give me 2 or three times the voting power and I will be so jolly! Sincerely W. Choppa, Denigrator

Abstention C'mon cats - when the voting gets tough, the tough get voting. Sometimes being tough means saying nothing and walking away

Blue Eyed Lady is one of those songs I don't "get".Caroline and Roll Over are again songs that improve live. WTF? To hear it played live on the reunion tours was one of the moments of my gig going life!

To hear it played live on the reunion tours was one of the moments of my gig going life! The human race (the ones who matter here anyway) are divided into two lots - those for whom Blue Eyed Lady is one of the top moments of their gig going life (even if they weren't there) and those for whom Blue Eyed Lady is a great rock song on Hello by Status Quo. Nobody knows why. I reckon the gods split the human race into two parts so that they would never entirely see things the same way, and thus become rivals to the gods.

Ok then, lets take Softer Ride (which is still a good song) but simply because it has been over used by CQ as part of their own set when they should have been taking songs from their own back catalogue. Yes, by those means I should have chosen Caroline and ROLD and maybe 4500X as well in part, but these are Live epics from the hey-day and exempt from choice. Claudie is also kept because its a country song given great treatment by the four and featured albeit briefly in the set in the mid 70's
I've kept AIBN because it represents one of very few songs in the AQ repertoire that had an imaginative arrangement applied to it.

Claudie + And It's Better Now are good as songs but seem weighed down by the arrangements - I prefer the acoustic versions of both songs.
And Blue-Eyed Lady has never excited me much, so that's my 3rd vote.

Its in the context of the Hello album and Quo of their time. It would have sounded odd and out of place in my opinion if it had been done like a typical yee-hah country song. It really worked in the set for example when they briefly played it live, such as at that Madrid gig in the mid 70's that is on you-tube
Really liked the song back then and still do just as much
Dirty Water, as a country song, works well with the lighter touch. Its kind of taking each song on its merits and deciding how much they should be "Quo'd up"
