I guess this is the point where many 'hey day' Quo fans have definitely reached the fork in the road. RAOTW was the letdown but we thought maybe they just dropped the ball and this one would get them back 'on the level' but once, bitten twice shy, Quo failed again. Quos time in the sun had passed.

I like the album - it came out fairly soon on the back of my first FF tour in 77 so had loads of enthusiasm for its release. The difference in sound to the gig experience didn't bother me at all and thought that Oh What A Night came across well live.
I chose Again and Again because it became a medley parody plus that dreadful Aquostic version of course is all the motivation I need to vote for it.
GTYTLM because its lyrically a bit lame and also LLL simply because it sounds a bit too much like a Meatloaf

I absolutely loathe A&A done acoustically, as it highlights the repetitiveness and the rather dull chorus. Job done. Exactly

It was the arrival of 1982 and BTB when I felt that the music was dropping a bit, but the gigs were still so amazing when those albums were released I never gave it a deeper thought till the apparition of Dreamin appeared on my television screen just a few years later

This is still the only Quo album I haven't owned which involved input from John and Alan . Didn't like it back in the day and still don't today. Quite hard to pick 3 for me as it means I prefer the other 7, which I am clearly struggling with. I'm Giving up my Worryin , Someone Show Me Home and Stones are bad , really bad and are the three I have finally plumped for, but Again and Again and Long Legged Linda deserve a dishonorable mention.... and not keen on the other 5 either...rubbish.

I guess

The other two kind of split up lots of songs that were recorded around the same time
Just my opinion only, but if the best songs from JS were taken like Over The Edge, The Wild Ones and Coming and Going for example, and combined with some of the best songs from NTL (Mountain Lady, Riverside etc) you would have had one great album
