Me:
I like the original of Rocking All over The World though.  Shame it marked 
the beginning of the end for Quo.  From then on it was downhill all the 
way to the nadir that was Marguerita Time.  Incidentally, I found a cover 
of Marguerita Time done by Kevin Rowland.  Why he chose to cover that 
baffles me almost as much as why Quo bothered writing it in the first 
place.

Me again:
Backwater has got to be one of my favourite Quo songs.  It was a big live 
favourite back in the day.
