    There are two albums that don't belong in that list. The Queen and Led Zeppelin ones are too good to be labeled Classic Rock.

    pretty generic list really.

    Q is one of those magazines that identifies every new flavor of the month as "the next beatles"...

    Lots of great stuff in there, again though Q isn't really known for its support of this type of music.

    Am pleased to see 'Quo Live' take its rightful place alongside long-acknowledged live classics like 'Strangers In The Night' and 'Live And Dangerous'. Because of some rather end-of-the-pier later work they don't have the greatest reputation, I think people would be amazed by this one- they really rocked hard back then.
