@Mari van Os: a couple of weeks ago I asked you this:
Welcome to the Deezer Community. What kind of progrock or progressive rock do you listen to? Is it like Camel, Pink Floyd, Pendragon or is it more like Ayreon, Arena and Threshold?

Hi @Mari van Os !
Thanks for the recommendation 
A new compilation, "Driving To Glory", collects together, for the first time, many of the band's rare tracks from the late 1990s and early 2000s, some of which have been unavailable for over 20 years.
Driving to Glory
Status Quo
Status Quo
From their early days charting with the psychedelic single “Pictures of Matchstick Men” in 1967 to opening the 1985 Live Aid concert with “Rockin' All Over the World” to their fabled three chords that brought them a record 60+ UK hit singles, Status Quo are part of the fabric of British rock. Initially formed by London school friends Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster, they were signed by Piccadilly Records in 1966, releasing two singles - “I (Who Have Nothing)” and “Hurdy Gurdy Man” - as The Spectres. Their breakthrough with “Pictures of Matchstick Men” - also a hit in the US - marked the arrival of Rick Parfitt, but when their subsequent psychedelic-sounding records flopped, they started wearing t-shirts and denim jeans and adopted the hard rock/boogie style which became their trademark. Their 1972 album Piledriver achieved strong sales on the back of constant touring and many classic Quo tracks emerged through the 1970s, including the UK chart-toppers “Down Down”, “Rockin' All Over the World” and “Whatever You Want”. They've subsequently gone on to sell over 118 million records and while the line-up changed, the front duo of Rossi and Parfitt remained to maintain the famous Quo good-time riff sound and they've continued to maintain an affectionate place in the hearts of European rock lovers. The original quartet of Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, and John Coghlan reunited in in 2013 and 2014 for a series of live shows. Status Quo reconvened with their then-current line-up and picked up where they left off. Rick Parfitt, who had been experiencing health issues for several years, suffered a heart attack in early 2016 and had to retire from touring with the band. He died on December 24, 2016. After a three-year break, Status Quo released their 33rd studio album, BackBone, in 2019, the first not to feature Parfitt. Original bassist Alan Lancaster died on September 26, 2021.

Sad Wings of Destiny
is the second studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 26 March 1976 by Gull Records. It is considered the album on which Judas Priest consolidated their sound and image, and songs from it such as "Victim of Changes" and "The Ripper" have since become live standards. It was the band's only album to feature drummer Alan Moore.

Songs
Victim of Changes
The nearly eight-minute "Victim of Changes" displays a wide dynamic range in rhythm, texture, and mood, with heavy riffing, a melodic ballad section, and extended guitar leads. An almost classical-sounding twin-guitar introduction leads to the violent main riff. The lyrics tell of a woman whose hard-drinking results in losing her man to another woman. Inspired by Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog", the heavy riff alternates with a cappella passages, Halford breaking into screaming falsettos during the slow break and dramatic conclusion of the song.
The track began as two songs: "Whiskey Woman" and "Red Light Lady". "Whiskey Woman" was an early Priest song by Downing and Atkins that the band chose not to include on their first album, though it had long been a crowd-pleasing opener at live shows and features on early demo recordings.To this the band wove in the slow "Red Light Lady", a song Halford brought with him from his previous band, Hiroshima.
The Ripper
A busy, chugging, riff-heavy rocker, "The Ripper" features arrangements inspired by Queen–particularly in the high-pitched layered opening vocals and classical-tinged twin guitars. The lyrics of the Tipton-penned track are from the point of view of Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper.
Dreamer Deceiver
A slow ballad with crooning vocals and screaming lead soloing, the song serves as introduction to the heavy "Deceiver" which follows it. Atkins originally received partial credit for both tracks, but disclaimed involvement in them; later releases removed it.
Deceiver
A heavy song with a chugging riff presaging the technical style of speed metal, "Deceiver" features energetic soloing and a heavy, Black Sabbath-like break with soaring, high-pitched vocals, climaxing in a repetitive acoustic closing.
Prelude
"Prelude" is a short baroque instrumental, alternating between the tonic and dominant, and is arranged for piano, synthesizer, guitars, and tom-tom drums. Despite the title, "Prelude" is musically unrelated to the following track, "Tyrant".
Tyrant
A heavy track full of many parts and tempo changes, Halford has said "Tyrant" expresses his "aversion towards any form of control".
Genocide
A forward-looking, riff-heavy rocker, bearing the influence of heavy rockers such as the Deep Purple tracks "Woman from Tokyo" and "Burn". Halford expressed hope that the song's "strong and graphic" lyrics would "be provocative and somewhat controversial and to stimulate people". The phrase "sin after sin" from the lyrics to "Genocide" provided the title to the band's next album.
Epitaph
A quiet track with piano backing and Queen-like layered vocals, Halford said the lyrics to "Epitaph" express frustration at a lack of place for the young or old in modern cities.
Island of Domination
The side-closing "Island of Domination" is a heavy rocker with a complex riff in a style reminiscent of Black Sabbath. Downing described the lyrics as personal to Halford, joking of their having "probably a few innuendoes".
NEW album
The Human Fear is the sixth studio album by Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, released on 10 January 2025 through Domino. It is the band's first studio album with drummer Audrey Tait, who replaced original member Paul Thomson in 2021.
