Whatever You Want

Status Quo

Relentless boogie rock meets polished late-seventies production. A high-octane collection of interlocking guitars, driving shuffles, and surprisingly tender detours.

October 1979 · 747

Find on Amazon

A high-energy celebration of rhythmic precision and rock-and-roll escapism with a surprising undercurrent of road-weary reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic opening guitar swell of the title track that builds into that unmistakable chugging riff.
The sudden shift to gentle acoustic textures and melancholic vocals on Living on an Island.
The extended jam-heavy outro of Breaking Away that pushes the band's endurance to its limit.
