Who does the better Rockin' All Over the World, Fogerty or the Quo?

I prefer Fogerty's, but the SQ version was repurposed as a charity thing in the UK ("Running All Over the World"), so there's that.

Yeah, the Quo are truly bad. I want to like them for the camp value, but only a tiny few of their songs warrant it.

TANC: Just heard the Quo's version on Atlantic 2NG.

Is Atlantic 2NG's format bad British music?

It's ALL British music -- anything that charted (and a lot of what didn't) is fair game. They come up with some amazing stuff. But of course, the Quo had over 50 Top 40 singles...
