I'm a House DJ. I adore Status Quo, as does Groove Armada. Rossi is a Hero of mine. Seen the band many times.

I love Francis and will be forever grateful for the fabulous band he formed, which has provided a sound-track to my life. But...I do find it funny how he continually seems to either pretend not to understand or, has some kind of major blind spot to how many of his fans see a massive divide between that sweet spot combination of hard driving rock and sweet melody (eg Caroline) and music which is more akin to prancing round a Maypole (Burning Bridges). He's right, the notes don't know, but the former Quo Army do! The Foo Fighter's lyrics are far from cliche heavy metal "macho" land which Francis obviously detests, but they seem to have stayed in that heavy-but-melodic sweet-spot in a way that Quo, all to frequently, don't.

Iv'e been embarrassed by RAOTW since becoming a Quo fan, yet ironically it is the song that grabbed me and made me a Quo fan. Here I am 50+ gigs under my belt and it's one song I really can't stand anymore.

I have always been a fan of compiling my own 'Best Of' compilations, playing my Tape's back in the day. I had ELO 'From Time To Time', T-Rex From Tyrannosaurus - To T-Rex Status Quo was 1968-1986. You cannot beat making your own selections, however and I know everyone will not agree, I don't like 'Rocking All Over The World' Love Caroline, the B-Side Joanne is beautiful

The only two Quo songs I dislike enough to actually skip over them are Margerita Time and What You’re Proposing. I just don’t get those two at all. But all bands and artists have tracks that divide opinion within the fanbase. Bob Dylan had multiple albums that did precisely that! I love Burning Bridges, always have. And who doesn’t like RAOTW?

I like Rockin' All Over the World but not as an end song to the set. It should be in the middle. I do appreciate why they now end with it though. As for Marguerita Time, I only like the studio Aquostic version. Love What You're Proposing though. Less keen on Burning Bridges but it's better now the main solos are guitar-led. Not so fussed about In the Army Now but Frabxis recently did a good short solo version of it in a promo clip for his Tunes & Chat tour.

Talking of what embarrasses some, practically all of Quo's stuff from the eighties onwards was pretty naff, especially spending so much time on TOTP and displaying it to the wider audience.
