This should be as one-sided as the previous poll. I'd rank RTYD among my favourite Quo albums while DS isn't even the best covers album IMO at least. We shall see what your sentiments towards the albums are.

RTYD. Much better than its precedents for me but not as good HT or QPQ.

Rock 'til You Drop. Of course. It's not even close. I've always liked the album but I also think it gets even more praise because of when it happened to be released; sitting as it does in the middle of five despised albums; three coming immediately before it and two after. An oasis in a 10-year desert. Certainly the view of many anyway. Incidentally, why is it up against Don't Stop? Should it not be coupled with Thirsty Work? Not that it would make any difference to the outcome

And with three covers album I can only set up two against each other, so next polls will be TW vs. UTI and FITLC vs. Riffs. Not quite chronological, but it makes more sense IMO.

RYTD by a country mile.
Don’t Stop is my favourite of the three covers albums, find it quite enjoyable on occasion, but definitely not as good as RTYD. In fact even the covers on RTYD, Price of Love, Bring It On Home & Let’s Work Together are all better than everything on Don’t Stop.

We shall see what your sentiments towards the albums are. Must confess I'm the solitary 'Like Both Equally' vote as it stands. Sentiment is the key word. Don't Stop came out when I was 17, just started driving, just started playing guitar and music felt like one of the most important things in the world. RTYD came out when I was 12 and back then, beating my brother at Mario Kart was more important. I wasn't overly familiar with the Beach Boys back then and I remember hearing 'Fun Fun Fun' and thinking it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever heard. It was like Quo and Chuck Berry combined, with a wonderful twist thrown into the mix. Just reading the track list from Don't Stop and it evokes wonderful memories and feelings. 'Never Can Tell' was one of the songs we chose when myself and the new Mrs Bam walked back down the aisle after getting wed, (3 years ago last Tuesday BTW). I get that 'RTYD' is 'better' in most folks eyes (and ears), even my own. It's a cracking album and if I'm selecting an album from my i-pod before going out for a blast on my Fireblade, it's a great choice, even if it does encourage the odd speeding indiscretion! I love both, just for very different reasons.

I like them both equally but for different reasons.
I love the rawness and rocking sound of RTYD but its very basic in some respects.
I love DS because of the broad scope of songs and it also reminds me of the gig at the Brixton Academy which was great.
