357. Status Quo

With a long string of mid level success in England, and the honor of being the opening band at Live Aid, Status Quo was a solid band that delivered hits over varying genres in their career. What this basically equates to is a good band that may fit into the “Journeyman” Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but despite a long and successful career, they were more followers than innovators.
