To notch; one of the very, very best. An all time favourite of mine and the first Quo single I ever bought (well, my mum did for me  ) |

What exactly is the difference between a song that's 'classic Quo' and a song deemed 'Rossi solo stuff, shouldn't be on a Quo album' ? Just for my general info .. - can't be style, so maybe the people who play on it ? :dunce: I love In My Chair, wonderful song this !  |

Just for my general info .. - can't be style, so maybe the people who play on it ? :dunce: It is almost impossible to define but it is down to style. And I challenge anyone to try and do it without just going down the tired and worn out "Rossi just turned to $hit and betrayed everyone" route. It's about chord progression and arrangement and preference. All you can do is contrast and compare. For example, In My Chair is very different from, say, Sail Away. It has nothing to do with who is playing on it. I mean, the pretty appalling Everything was recorded around the same time! Can't have it both ways I'm afraid. Writing partners do have an impact. Bob Young has a tendency to help turn songs into country/blues affairs. Bernie Frost was a different animal entirely. Other than that I have no idea. Too analytical as it is! |

I didn't expect you to have a (reasonable) answer - or anybody else actually .. We always got all kinds of styles from him, though definitely with a leaning towards country-ish tunes, even with Bernie. So maybe it's down to sound or instruments - synths i.e. a no-no for Quo - although it's not Francis who plays them and all band members used them for their songs .. ?  |

Good question & I can only answer for my own interpretation of what I mean by classic, in my case it almost always refer to the following The classic line up (F4, but also F3) The classic era of Quo, in other words when the band were at their very peak The classic songs from this same era, for me, the best (classic) Quo songs were in the main written during these years I trust that clarify's what my own interpretation is. |

FF would be 71-76 or rather you count up till 81, because else F3 wouldn't make sense. And F3 then from 81 to 85 (if you include Live Aid). So the years including Roy don't count as classic and Andy is neglected all together. Classic era - band at their peak, because albums/songs were/are so good - that would be most of the 70s and most since UTI for me and consequently include many different line-ups and not everything the FF/F3 did. I'd never classify albums like IYCSTH, JS or 1982 as classic. |

Its funny because I would call Just Supposin' a classic. Which pretty much demonstrates that something is a classic if you want it to be. Anything that's a particular favourite I suppose.
I'm pretty sure the music media would never call In My Chair a Quo classic let alone a classic single. But what do they know? Rock all frankly.

Most since UTI ?!!!  ,, maybe in your opinion, certainly not in mine, thats NOT to say there havent bee SOME very good albums since the split, (RTYD,QPQ,HT) Is pedantic yer middle name ?! :lolflg: |
