The Mighty Quo

"On the Level," the 1975 album by Status Quo, has not budged from my CD player much in the past few days.
Here are SIX REASONS why the Quo are so mighty...
1) Rocking songs such as "Down Down" make you bob your head and smile, no matter your previous mood.
2) They scored UK and US hits with "Pictures of Matchstick Men" in 1968, then changed musical direction by dropping psychedelia in favor of B-O-O-G-I-E!
3) The band have sold more than 100 million albums and have had more than 50 UK hit singles.
4) They opened the Wembley Live Aid show in 1985.
5) The band celebrated its silver anniversary in 1991 by entering the Guinness Book of Records by completing four charity concerts in four British cities in a 12-hour span.
6) The band attempted to sue Britain's BBC Radio 1 in the late 1990s for refusing to add the Quo to the playlist. Although the band lost the case, they raised awareness of possible age discrimination in the pop world.
