Status Quo suck, their songs are just awful, all Francis Rossi and Rick parfitt ever do is play the same fuckin chord on the guitar all the way through, all that about they are "Legends" and are in the same league as Queen is pure bollocks!

Not in the same league as Queen no, but they cant be that shit to still sell out every show they play and to have been around for 40 years!
Coronation Street was a bit embarassing though.

Definitely not in the same league as Queen, but at least they're not as awful as Lynyrd Skynard, Dave Matthews Band, or Counting Crows.
thats nice dear
Definitely not in the same league as Queen, but at least they're not using link to Mr Scully's site in their profiles as Roger2 does.
I am very sorry to disagree.
Status Quo began life as just another 'sixties hippy Psychedelic Pop band, but by the beginning of the 'seventies, Psychedelia had already shot it's bolt.
Reinventing themselves as a heavy blues band, Quo were one of the 'seventies most successful UK artists, and having found that elusive recipe for success STUCK TO IT.
It is by STICKING to that very recipe, that they have outlasted myriads of Psychedelic contemporaries, lesser bands, and 'Johnny Come Lately Fly-by-nights'.
The only comparison I can make is with 'Coca Cola'. Remember what happened to them when they changed their successful traditional recipe for 'new Coke' - it almost bankrupt the company.
The moral of the story is - 'if it aint broke don't fix it' and this philosophy has certainly paid handsome dividends for the boys in blue jeans.
Which means that they are very well named 'Status Quo' if you ask me!

Status Quo are ROCKIN ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Their songs are awful, they are obviously absoloute crap coz they appeared on Coronation street, can you name any other Rock bands that have appeard on Corrie, not even any crap ones, so it all makes sense why they appeard on Corrie coz they are that crap and the only ones available, better bands have better things to do with their time and be more succesful unlike Status Quo, e.g "rockin all over the world" same power chord over and over again throughout the song, they are amateurs.
status quo are not shit, they are not in the same league as queen but they are great musicians in my opinion, they do play only 3 chords but i still think they are great.
if they are so shit why would they be asked to play the opening bit of live aid back in 1985? probably this biggest part of the show is the opener, if the opener wasnt good the show wasnt, quo rocked the world rite there and tehn.
To be honest, a lot of useless and stupid artists have played on Live Aid... Status Quo is not one of them though.
I fully agree with what Linda has said. And by the way they know 4 chords - they had to learn the fourth one when Brian did his solo for their version of "Raining In My Heart". So there! :-P
Why pick on Status Quo when there are far worse rock bands...
* hint * hint * The Darkness
* hint * hint * The Darkness
I've heard that Queen band are pretty shit. Status Quo kick their ass anyday.
Oh and The Darkness RAAAAAWWWWWK!!!!

You bethca!
And...they are so iconic as so is that song, that that is why Sir Bob Geldof personally gave them THE coveted, historic position of personally asking them to OPEN Live Aid, and with THAT song!!!!
Yeah!
I am SO happy that Rick Parfitt is well and does NOT have cancer. I have been following the news on that and talk about a sigh of relief!
