So glad Glenn brought these guys up a couple weeks back or so.

You should check them out for sure. But beware... Quo is one of those bands that has released both incredibly good albums and also some real duds...
If the LP you bought is "Live" from 1973, you are in for a treat...

Other recommended albums are:

Piledriver
Quo
Hello
On the Level
Blue for You

These are all heavy, bluesy 70's hard rock.

Then they had a period between 77-81 where they were a bit thinner sounding but still good (i.e. Rockin' all over the World, Just Supposin' etc).
Beware of buying stuff released after -81. There are some excellent albums but also some really scary stuff...

I know it's considered somewhat of a turd by real Quo fans, but I still love "In The Army Now" - one of the first vinyls I ever bought with my paper route money

The album I got is called Status Quo Live and it's from 1976 so hopefully it's good. Thanks for rec's. I'll keep an eye for those albums.

Currently listening to (just got it off of eMusic)...

Admittedly, I was somewhat skeptical, but this is actually pretty darn good. Reminds me of older-school Stratovarius. Is it another Visions? Hardly, but I have to admit it came pretty damn close. If they can keep this up, I will be looking forward to hearing what they come up with next.

Symfonia - In Paradisum:

I have similar memories of that album... I think a lot of us growing up in Scandinavia have fond recollections of "In The Army Now". I still listen to it as well..

 

[jem777az]

For fans of Swallow The Sun, Amorphis, Barren Earth type stuff. Excellent album.

 

[SkiBumMSP]

What I was hoping the new Queensryche album was really going to be like.....

Malison Rogue - Malison Rogue:

This really is an excellent album.

Why bother with a subpar pastiche band when there's the real thing?

Probably because the 'real thing' you know... SUCKS???

Rest of the day has thus far has been:
