Truly sad. They were a great band but practically unknown on this side of the pond.

Caroline - Status Quo

‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ was the only SQ tune I can remember on this side of the pond...

I started getting into these guys about 8 years ago.... One of the great bands of the seventies.... The album Hello from 73 is a classic.......I just ordered a Quo T shirt online 2 days ago...strange coincidence....rip

I listen to Caroline all the time at the gym.

They did such cool things with intros and time signatures. Next to Keith Richards, they had a better understanding of Chuck Berry than anyone.

If you classic Bon Scott period AC/DC and Foghat, these guys are in the same league, but more diverse.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s and this is the first time I’ve heard of them. Have to say, based on the few songs I just listen to, I’d put them near the bottom of the list of 70s bands.
