THE REVIEW

Let's say it's not an album that will go down in history, and unfortunately, in my opinion, in 20 years only a few will remember it, and only for Whatever You Want. However, it's a nice album, with some songs being a bit repetitive, but very rich in Blues Rock/Boogie, which I personally adore.

Status Quo

Status Quo are a British rock band formed in London in 1962. After a psychedelic-pop debut with the hit Pictures of Matchstick Men (1968), they shifted to a driving boogie-rock sound in the early 1970s and became a major UK chart presence. Renowned for no-frills live shows and twin-guitar riffs, they opened Live Aid in 1985 and continue under Francis Rossi’s leadership.
