    Roll Over Lay Down.

    I'm only familiar with their singles really, haven't heard many of the full albums, but we had the compilation 12 Gold Bars which has lots of good stuff from the '70s.

    Can't remember the name of it, but I liked that 12 bar one they did.

    They did make some cheesey spaff so it can't be any Quo song (although many of those seem to be Francis's favourites).
    Marguerita Time was on the 80s music video channel last night... I'd almost forgotten just how shit it is. No wonder Alan Lancaster wouldn't go along with it. It's like they had a sudden urge to reconnect with their distant origins at Butlins.

    Francis loves it and written at a time when he was drinking Margaritas all the time/ being alcoholic so it has a darker edge to it ( sort of). The rock n roll medley things they did later on were far worse. 

    His autobiography is pretty straightforward and a reasonable read. From the book and watching interviews it always seems odd how little he was close to Rick even though in the public's eye they were inseparable.

    There's something dark about Rossi. In print (his own and others') he can come across a bit, well, dark is the best description I csn come up with.

    When he's on good form, however, he is one of the best interviewees you will ever see.

    And that's much like Quo. In the seventies they could tear places apart but the eighties singles could have been from an entirely different band with different roots.

    I always liked Roadhouse Blues, it's a great driving song.  From the early years, I like Ice In The Sun.

    Rockin all over the world, because if you're in the pub and you hear that piano intro over the jukebox, then you know you're in for a singalong, a good time, and at the very least some serious foot tapping!

    Yet another of my favourites,!
    For me this really highlights how good Rossi really was/is . The solo is is just perfect for the song and really memorable/ hummable which in my humble opinion is what a good solo should be. He’s done some great stuff but is so underrated (as are Quo).

    On a separate note I may have been one of the first Quo fans to have the 1982 album in Southern Hemispehere. 
    Knowing album was coming out I wrote to my mam to get my brother (who used to look just like Parfitt) to buy the album, tape it and send it down to my ship in Falklands so I could be first on board to have it. ;-)

    From interviews I've read and heard, he seems to have had a real enthusiasm for learning new stuff and improving his guitar playing over the years, which is probably quite unusual for established stars in his position.

    rock n roll

    My dad always used to have '12 gold bars' on in the car. That one was my favourite, 'ol rag blues' is another good one.

    A favourite song is sooo hard but it has to be something from Piledriver through to Blue for You, they lost me after that on album but still cracking live for a few years. Right now I’ll say Roll Over Lay Down. My first ever gig was Quo at ‘ammersmith in early 1976 aged 15 - life changing   I’ll be in the vicinity of a Coghlan’s Quo gig in a few weeks and am very tempted to go
    This is the truth from hillbilly guitars!

    Rockin all over the world - I loved it as a teen the first moment I heard it, and it's one of those wonderful 'nostalgia' records for me that throws me right back in time. 

    Also I thought the song was the best thing on Live Aid apart from Queen.

    Great band they were, as Yoda used to say.

    Caroline.  Absolute belter, and one of the first songs my 1975 teen band learned and played.
