<p>I see, that "Pictures Of Matchstik Men" is "out of order". That song is by far my favorite, with Whatever You Want on a second place, mainly because of a very good intro. Otherwise, I'm no fan at all. Still another sad loss. I'm afraid it'll only get worse the next couple of years.</p>

<p>I searched this site for this band since the guitarist passed away and found this. When I seen the date it was posted I knew why I missed it... Thats the week my son got married, we were a bit busy around here.</p>

No slight on them though, they made the formula work and that's cool because they got to live the life the rock and life.</p>

<p>I don't think they are known very well at all here in the United States. I've heard of them, probably have even heard a song or two, but can't say I've ever heard anything that has made me think that I need to explore their work. Let's check out these five tracks and videos and see if my mind is changed...make that six tracks.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Pictures - This song and video are definitely steeped in the sixties. I don't think it's bad at all, but I can't make up my mind if that riff is cool…</p>

<p></p>
<p>Pictures - This song and video are definitely steeped in the sixties. I don't think it's bad at all, but I can't make up my mind if that riff is cool or aggravating.</p>
<p>Paper Plane - Wow, you can definitely hear a huge difference from that first song. This song is much more rocking with a Chuck Berry type solo. And I think the vocals are quite cool. I like this one. I can see where a song like this might have influenced a band like Cheap Trick.</p>
<p>Caroline - This one is a bit more cheesy, can't say I really care for it.</p>
<p>Roll Over - I immediately don't like the video. The editing and splicing together make me wanna throw up. Way too fast. I'm not feeling the song, but the solo is pretty cool. But I can't watch this video, it really is making me seasick or something.</p>
<p>Down Down - Good grief...what's wrong with these cameramen? This one's making my head spin too. This video stinks. The spinning part. The song is a bit better than the last two, but no where near as good as Paper Plane.</p>
<p>Whatever You Want - The intro is definitely cool. A much better start for this song. Riff is okay. I'd say it's the second best song here. The band's vocals are quite good at times.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So, did this change my mind? Not really. I don't think I'm missing much by not having any Status Quo in my collection. Still, there were definitely some bright moments (but those videos weren't too great). Here's my song ranking:</p>
<p>1. Paper Plane</p>
<p>2. Whatever You Want</p>
<p>3. Pictures of Matchstick Men</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Caroline, Roll Over Lay Down and Down Down are pick 'em's for 4, 5 and 6.</p>
