Status Quo were one of the most successful, influential and
innovative bands of the 1970s. During the first half of the decade,
they wrote, recorded and performed a stream of inventive and highly
complex rock compositions, developed 12 bar forms and techniques in
new and fascinating ways, and affected important musical and
cultural trends. But, despite global success on stage and in the
charts, they were maligned by the UK music press, who often
referred to them as lamebrained three-chord wonders, and shunned by
the superstar Disk Jockeys of the era, who refused to promote their
music. As a result, Status Quo remain one of the most misunderstood
and underrated bands in the history of popular music. Cope
redresses that misconception through a detailed study of the band's
music and live performances, related musical and cultural subtopics
and interviews with key band members. The band is reinstated as a
serious, artistic and creative phenomenon of the 1970s scene and
shown to be vital contributors to the evolution of rock.
