A Quality album cover with a brilliant photo of the boys in the centrefold. The album that closed the classic Quo era, if only we knew. Opened with a bang in Is There A Better Way and ending with, what I reckoned was a song that equolled Big Fat Mama....Mystery Song. Quo were red hot with Blue For You and were ripe for 'global success' but Tripped over their feet with Rockin all Over Yhe World and on. Blue For You...9/10

Can't give more than 8,5/10 points. There are at least 5 better albums - still very good though. Edit: Just read the other answers...it seems I'm not the only one to not like BFY in its entirety. Always thought it was just me

Easy 10 for me. Great heavy sounding album. ITABW, MS, Rain and ROAC the stand outs.

Ah yes, the long hot summer of 1976, and Blue for You was definitely a big part of it. It was released in the spring of that year, if I'm not mistaken. Every time I looked at the cover I wondered why Rick's head seemed so enormous... The boys in blue and the album title, what a clever idea again. And that great photo inside the gatefold. But let's talk music now - Is there a better Way, what a great opener, and Mystery Song, what a brilliant track to end the LP with, and Rain in the middle, fantastic. I also loved Mad about the Boy, Ring of a Change and That's a Fact while Ease your Mind and Rolling Home were just okay-ish. It took quite a while for the title track to grow on me. Some of these songs sounded a bit too, well, polished to my ears. So I'd say, 8/10.

Quo's last rockin' album. Some great heavy stuff although there are a few fillers. Still a 10/10 though. Love it!
