Do you still listen to a lot of Quo albums
If I was honest I would say I listen to far more post 86 material than FF and pre 86 albums.

I tend to listen to a mixture. Although less than I used to, but that applies to music in general.
I rarely turn to any of the albums that are widely considered to be among their poorest (Back To Back, Thirsty Work, Perfect Remedy, any of the covers albums) but, otherwise, almost anything goes.
I suppose if I was to try to narrow it down to eras, there would be two. 1971-1982 and 2002 up to the first Aquostic project with only Under The Influence and Rock 'til You Drop getting a look in outwith those periods.
That's still a lot of music to choose from though.

I listen to Quo in the car, and a couple of weeks ago I decided to play the two Aquostic albums. Number one I still like, but number two went back on the CD shelf indoors and may possibly not see the light of day again. The only one I like on that CD is "Thats a Fact". To me, none of the other tracks sound right.
I used to play Heavy Traffic a lot. Now I've got a compilation CD in the car, with tracks from across many years, and it's usually the first one that I play, so the earlier songs.
But then, I'm not using my car much, so I don't get to listen to my CDs very often. The record deck and CD player is in my husband's den, so I can only listen to stuff when he is out, which is Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I am out myself on Tuesday evenings, so I have one evening a week to listen to music, and don't very often do so. On the Tuesday evening I'm making music - singing with a choir!

Quite a wide range, but I do need to play the golden era albums a bit more.

All eras. Sometimes I prefer to listen to Frantic Four, sometimes I dig more the 80s and 90s, sometimes 2000+, other times the 60s output.
Really depends. But I like all of them.

I also have my moods and will suddenly start going back to FF material, my initial statement was based on the fact that I’ve listened to the hits & FF material so much live and in my younger years that I tend not to listen to it much now
I would say the 80’s are my least listened to period, whilst post 2000 stuff is always on the go.
I keep the Accept No Substitute hits cd in the car and I do love that, as it has a great mixture included on there.

I listened to Blue For You and Never Too Late this week in the car and loved them both.
Standout tracks for me were Blue For You and Is There A Better Way and Mountain Lady and Riverside.
I always find it interesting that I’m not a big fan of Alan’s Songwriting overall, but Blue For You, Mountain Lady and Ol Rag Blues are way up there in my Quo favourite songs.

And, strangely, probably my least favourite tracks on those albums apart from Riverside which I really like. Different strokes I guess |

Yesterday I gave Heavy Traffic a listen all through and had almost forgot what a great album that is... The production is a bit 'dull',would have been fantastic with a sound like RTYD, but you can't have everything.. It's twenty years since HT now..blimey  |

Hopefully there will be a remaster at some point in the near future. I'm not entirely sure why there hasn't been. It's also an album that has never been released on vinyl. The vast majority of Quo's have been. Even Party.... which came after it. A remaster with some better quality live recordings from that time which would include things like the title track, All Stand Up and Solid Gold. Plus remasters of The Madness and You Let Me Down. Seems an obvious one to me  |

Seems an obvious one to me Perhaps it’s all just down to timing and they are going to start putting the post 2000 albums out in batches at a certain point. Maybe it’s Part of Frans retirement plan 😆 |
