The Status Quo – Pictures of Matchstick Men (Something for the Weekend)
Kicking off the ‘Something for the Weekend’ strand – which will be something particularly special posted at (when else?) the weekend – we have the excellent ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’ by the Quo, from the days when they went by the moniker of The Status Quo.
From 1968, this is the pop-psych classic that put them on the musical map. Such a pity it was downhill from there as they descended into the three-chord dad-rock we all know and hate today.
Nonetheless, this harks back to when The Status Quo were a ripping psychedelic-pop band.
Taken from the album Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo and sporting a monster riff to boot, enjoy the superb ‘Pictures of Matchstick Men’.
