Thought I would have a look.
Everytime I think of you 4/10
Don't mind if I do 2/10
The Loving game 0/10
The way I am 1/10
Going down for the first time 0/10
Warning shot 2/10
Nothing comes easy 1/10
Point of no return 1/10
Sherri don't fail me now 3/10
Round and Round 3/10
Shine On 7/10
The Oriental 1/10
Creepin up on you 4/10
Heavy Traffic 5/10
Do it again 2/10
The Bubble 2/10
Belavista man 2/10
Velvet train 2/10
You never stop 3/10
This is me 3/10
Beginning of the end 4/10
Gravy Train 1/10
Bad news 1/10
Two way traffic 3/10
Dust to gold 2/10
Cant see for looking 2/10
Any way you like it 2/10
Reality cheque 1/10
That's a couple of hours of my life I won't get back. At best an average song writer but mostly dreadful, it shows to me how far they are fallen, with such a weak song writer in the band, could nobody come up with better than these when they were writing.
For me one very good song in 30 years. Laughable.

Love Don't Mind If I Do tbh. It's one of very few tracks I could hear the FF play. Guitar work has soul.
Heavy Traffic is very good and should have been the single from the album.
Sherri is a very good pop song, just certainly not something for Quo.
Other than that, can take or leave them

Very harsh scoring!
Apart from the two on TW, I like nearly all of those songs. There's none there I hate or would score at less than 4. I also like some of his b sides such as Lucinda and obstruction day.
There's still 3 or 4 songs off his first solo album I listen to. Republican is very enjoyable !

I don't like all of the songs certainly, but quite a few of them I enjoy and the marks in general are too low I would agree

I still really rate Bad News it's a great number wish Quo had done it live instead of murdering some of the other old tunes
Cheers

No more so than spending time rating songs, written by someone that you don't have time for. He's written them, played them and recorded them. Funnily enough, there are people out there who like some of them and he gets paid royalties - which of course would truly cheese you orf! Some of you lot amaze me. |

He has contributed towards the writing. I'm sure in some cases he will the lead writer but not always. He has played on them and has contributed towards the recordings. I am sure there are people who like them, some will love them. He gets paid royalties, I am sure he does and I have no problem with that at all. Good luck to him. Its odd because it amazes me that some of 'you lot' think his songs are good. |

I was trying to be generous . Just_Cuz_13 Music is obviously an "each to their own" type thing but, can't help but disagree about Don't Mind If I Do. The guitar work in it is immense and actually has feeling, which is very rare on those albums. |

It sounds like a bad 70s disco rock song. The Frantic four never recorded anything this bad. Not even close. |

Re. Don't Mind If I Do.
Imho it sounds 100% that something that could've been on Pip Williams' IYCSTH album. |
