How is it I've never heard of this group or this guy? I'm soon to be 59 years old, living in America.
Looked up some stuff, pretty good music. Lots of covers it seems.

On one hand I can see why they are so written off; they went from one of the UKs premier rock acts in the 70s to light entertainers over the last quarter century. Zero credibility except to those that loved them. The output declined seriously from mid eighties to early 2000s though they did remain a serious live draw.

Check out Status Quo 1972-1980, almost no covers. You won't be disappointed.

LJS, I suggest checking out the 1977 Status Quo live album. Almost no covers although their music does sound a lot like Chuck Berry stuff IMHO so there is a familiarity to it. One of the best live albums of the 70's I think.
Always thought they would have made an excellent opening act for the Stones on the 75, 78 American tours. They really could get the crowd warmed up.

Status Quo - a great British institution, who always delivered in a live setting, had a twinkle in their eye & never took themselves too seriously.
A rock band that knew how to roll. A rare gift.
