1982 - Status Quo

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: None

...Well it was worth the wait, at Christmas I finally got it, Status Quo’s greatest hits! As I was brought up with Status Quo CD’s I already knew all of the songs but they are great to listen to. To me Quo shows British Rock and Roll music at it’s best. To those of you who think you don’t know Quo’s music just think of the new Argos advert ‘Whatever you want, Whatever you need…” that’s Quo. At only £12.99 this CD is cheap compared to most CD’s these days and it is quality music, and I would recommend it to anyone. It’s rockin’ all over the world... Read review

Advantages: great for moshing to
Disadvantages: not long enough

...this is a very good album. It was recorded in birmingham, Sutton park, and wembly arena in 1990. this album has the best Live version of Caroline on that i have heard, and i have seen Status quo live! Compared with some of the earlier Quo Stuff, this album is fantastic, because it features amazing live versions of all of quo's greatest hits, including whatever you want, in the army now, burning bridges, hold ya back, caroline rockin all over the world and don't drive my car. the only thing that i don not like about this album is the fact that it doesnt include 4500 times and Don't waste my time, my two favourite quo songs. overall, another fantasic live alum from the Quo....

Advantages: That old Quo pick me up riff
Disadvantages: 30 years... one kind of song

...They've sold more than 110 million records worldwide, been around for more than 30 years and are as big an institution as the Queen Mother. Yep, Status Quo - love 'em or loather 'em, they've done it all and here's the latest compilation to prove it. Spread over two CDs and 41 tracks, the first half takes you from 1967s Pictures Of Matchstick Men up to their worthy late 70s peak, while the second bit details their fall to cringeworthy cabaret crap. Forget the haircuts Messers Parfitt and Rossi sported during various stages of the bands career, and the lack of non-12 bar blues based material. They were, and are, the ultimate family band. Overall its a great reminder of what a fine band Quo once were, and that they're not anymore.... Read review
