Loving the Kraftwerk cover of Neon Lights

Yes the other Kraftwerk cover is quite good - must look for that album. The Divine Comedy also did a very cool cover of Radioactivity years ago & Love Tractor did a great version of Neon Lights.

Rick Parfitt of Status Quo passed away today in Spain -- 68 years old. Quo were a very successful band in the UK with little to no attention in North America. From early psychedelic pop (Pictures of Matchstick Men) they progressed to straight-ahead two-guitar boogie-rock for many albums. I recommend any from the 1970s, especially the early part of the decade.

Thanks for the Rick Parfitt recognition, Status Quo were a big part of my teenage years! Rock and Roll geetar!

When I was a kid I knew the SQ version of Roadhouse Blues before any of the others. Piledriver was one of my favourite albums.

Tim, I think Piledriver's my fave Quo LP. Here's some more R'n'R geetar... from one of the guitarists from Welsh band Man
