Here's the second of the covers albums. At least it contains that many tracks, we have choices and can leave out a lot. Actually I expect this to be easy. There's a few I do like and some I don't mind. While they may not be the best versions of the songs and the renditions rather unimaginative - you can tell the band weren't exactly keen on the project - if you cut down the number of songs the result should be pleasant enough. As always: If that leaves you with less than 8 tunes, find ones you can tolerate as fillers.

I can't do it, the best song for me is the title track, the only original, while other than that I don't mind Old Time Rock n Roll, the rest don't do anything for me.

Tricky. It's a pretty dreadful album but here are 8 that I can just about tolerate. If strapped to a chair and forced to listen Old Time Rock and Roll Way Down Roll Over Beethoven When I'm Dead and Gone Memphis Sweet Home Chicago Crawling From the Wreckage Runaround Sue
I love the song Once Bitten Twice Shy but Quo do it no justice at all. They recorded a pale imitation of the original. I could say the same about Sweet Home Chicago but it's at least passable. There's a lot of 'rock 'n' roll' on it, which isn't really for me, and that probably explains why I dislike most of it. I remember trying so hard to like John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll album back in the 70's but I just couldn't take to it. Wrong generation probably.

Old time Rock n Roll FILC Rave On When I’m Dead n Gone Memphis Tennessee Rock n Me
Sweet Home Claudette This was a difficult one tho. It’s interesting to see “ When I’m Dead” is so well thought of?

It’s interesting to see “ When I’m Dead” is so well thought of?I liked it when I was (much) younger and Quo make a half decent stab at it, although it's quite faithful in arrangement to the original. Perhaps others are the same. Or maybe those who are younger don't know it but quite like it.

This is the point they really started to look and sound tired. And instead of getting a decent makeover, they got.....Mike Paxman to produce.

It’s interesting to see “ When I’m Dead” is so well thought of?Can only speak for myself, but it's the best from the album by far. It does have a sexy quality. What I don't get is why Old Time RnR does so well. I find it tired and boring. Prefer Francis' live version by far with the three guitarists kind of introducing themselves. Otherwise we've mostly voted for the same tunes.
