- The Basics
Status Quo's signature brand of heavy, minimal-chord-change boogie rock isn't rocket science — but for the bulk of the '70s it proved powerful enough to launch the Englishmen into stellar orbit, where they remain to this day. Want to transform any room into a headbangers paradise, without scaring off the grannies and the nippers? Then all you have to do is light the touch-paper on "Rockin' All Over the World," "Whatever You Want," or "Down Down" and you're set. With over 60 U.K. chart hits to its name, Quo is one of rock's genuine monsters. Discover how the Quo sound evolved, in Next Steps.

The musical differences between Quo's early pop-psychedelic tracks ("Ice in the Sun") and the boogie rock of the band's mid-'70s glory days are stark . . . but the bridge between the two phases was built by Aussie singer-songwriter Carl Groszmann, who nudged the lads towards the sweet shuffle that would become their trademark: "Umleitung" kicked off 1971's Dog of Two Head in fine style, and in that same album's "Gerdundula" there's a taste of the folkiness that would be revisited with 1996's Maddy Prior collaboration, "All Around My Hat." Groovy, early, shorter haired Quo shows its colours in Deep Cuts.

Francis Rossi led his outfit through the '60s in several guises (the Scorpions, the Spectres) before settling on a switch to psychedelic rock as Traffic Jam, under which moniker the band released "Almost but Not Quite There" — the track flopped commercially, but paved the way for the arrival of the Status Quo (the definite article would hang around till '71), and psychedelic debut album Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo (1968), featuring the still lovely "Elizabeth Dreams."

Rooted in the lasting guitar/vocal partnership of founder member Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (longtime cohorts John Coghlan and Alan Lancaster left in the early '80s, the latter falling out with his bandmates after relocating to . . . Australia), Status Quo hit on a hugely popular vein of beefed-up boogie rock at the dawn of the '70s, and proceeded to make it their own. It's a sound — perfected, perhaps, on "Caroline" — that connects to rock 'n' roll's most fundamental tribal roots, and whips any listener (regardless of age and rhythmic talent) into a frenzied, smile-inducing side-to-side pogo-wobble. From the band's early, psychedelic meanderings through the towering golden years and on to the 2008 Scooter hook-up "Jump That Rock (Whatever You Want)," we give you the majesty of Quo.
