Yep, definitely one of Quo's best albums, although this song is probably the weakest on it apart from the cover. That's nothing against AIBN though, just goes to show the overall quality of the album. Works perfectly too as the opener to the acoustic gigs.

Always liked this and I think the lyrics are tremendous, especially the 1st verse.
On the first few listens of Hello, I felt this just got in the way before Forty-Five Hundred times came but I soon got over that.
As with quite a few others, Aquostic breathed new life into this one.

My feelings too. It passed the time while waiting for the opus to come on. The impatience of youth I've grown to love it over the years and I actually think the Aquostic version improves on it even more. Its a wonderful version of an already great song.

That's what I meant by ridiculing other people's opinions.

While most of the Aquostic versions are meh for me, this is one I prefer done that way. All those breaks at the end and the effects on the vocals make the original overproduced to my ears.

That's what I meant by ridiculing other people's opinions. More like I find them highly amusing, as I fail to understand what the attraction of poorly done, half arsed songs could possibly be, and when I hear the reasons, well that just amuses me even more, to each to their own opinion of course, but clearly they do not hear what i hear If you can't see by yourself, that the use of graemlins like or is offensive, where other people's opinions are concerned, then you've got to simply believe me. Don't use them. It's OK when you use the others when exchanging banter with me, but please treat other members and that includes their opinions, respectfully.
