STATUS QUO

These British rock & rollers came together in the early 60's and are still at it! Their trademark bouncy R&R riffs and the voice of Francis Rossi spawned many a classic like Whatever You Want and What You Proposing. Another 13 tracks on this compilation wrap up a fine compendium of what they're all about. Their first hit, a more hippyfied 60's tune, Pictures Of Matchstick Men is not however present here. Fun, lighthearted rock music that middle aged fogies get quite a kick out of,
Status Quo is also known as Prince Charles' favourite band (eeek!). Does that make him more hip, or them more nerdy (?). Still, quite a few memories trapped in here, even though one of their biggest anthems, Rockin' All Over The World was omitted from this disc, as is their cover version of You're In The Army Now.
