Interesting point about Paper Plane actually. I suppose that might be the single that REALLY got me into Quo in retrospect.

I'd loved In My Chair and Down The Dustpipe pretty much as a kid but the next song I heard was Paper Plane as a hairy teenager and it blew me away. I'd never heard anything like it. And when I analyse it now, it had that drive and simplicity that much of punk had when 1976/1977 came around.

I bet Quo NEVER get credit for possibly being influential like that. Paper Plane was/is genius.

I can only imagine the thrill of hearing Paper Plane for the first time in 1972 as a teenager and thinking 'what the hell is this'!!

However many musicians and bands are influenced by (or even just like) Quo, they never get any credit. They will never get any credit for influencing a new style of music (punk)!

Can't wait for the whistle to blow, I wanna go home and listen to some Quo!

12 Gold Bars and the Posin album, belonging to my Uncle. I thought Posin was quite good but it was 12 Gold Bars that sealed the deal - 12 rocking, addictive tracks; that whetted the appetite for mire Quoing!

I heard Piledriver on a tape my older brother had in about 1974 when I was about 4 or 5, started young on the old air guitar . The one I remember and loved the most was A Year

Definitely Down Down for me. I remember when i first saw them doing that on TOTP it was like nothing that I'd heard or seen before. up tiL then it was 'Tiger feet' or 'ballroom blitz' 'fox on the run' but the way they moved and the heaviness of the sound just seemed so menacing......i WAS hooked!! the STOP/START showed me musical tension and dynamics.....i remember hearing a similar thing with Zeppelin's 'nobody's fault but mine off the 'Presence' album........as regards the 'menacing' thing, Lizzy's 'Boys are back in town' gave me similar goosebumps........These were hard men with equally uncompromising music. This must have been my 'Eureka' moment in 1975/76 LOVED IT!!! NEVER LOOKD BACK!
