I have tickets to their gig at Shefield in November. Great seats and I bought them for my wife as she is a big fan, but frankly I am not really looking forward to going as they have never struck me as being my type of music (more a MOBO fan).
So, inspire me to listen to the tracks that may make me look forward to it. Any suggestions or will I just have to fake it for a few hours?

Depends on your taste - the older stuff is far less 'pop' in its sound, but it's far far better IMHO. I don't know the extent of the lineup changes, but proper blues rock tunes like Need Your Love So Bad and Oh Well seem to be completely different to the pop-folk stuff they did later on.
That said, The Chain is pretty cool...

I was listening to a few of their tracks at the weekend. I think they are an 'Era' band, which is definitely over. Not that their stuff is particularly good or bad, but I reckon their time was the mid 70's to 80's.
Personally I'd say '60s and early '70s. They were a very different band in their later incarnation.Chris71 said:

Didn't get into music until the late nineties so none of their music was contemporary for me.

For me here are some good pointers:
Early:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE4HGlmtOcg Oh Well

Mid:

Later:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRf-nHH_63g&fea... Go Insane
Early is better to me, but still very good, hope this helps a bit

Many thanks, the last 2 gigs I went to with her bored me to death: The Corrs and the recent Steel City tour with 1980's bands like ABC. I felt like poking my own eyes out and ears in at both events.Early:

My real introduction to them was Tango in the Night - which I still reckon is an incredibly good album.
Interesting that Lindsey Buckinghams album "Out of the Cradle" had way too many tracks that were like evolutions of those on Tango in the Night.
Most of the good stuff has already been mentioned, but if you have a spare seven and a half minutes, listen to The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Prong Crown)
Unfortunately I doubt they'll play it in November.

Lucky you, I have been getting into FM recently and am planning on going to the London gig (or maybe 2 gigs).
Bear in mind you are going to see the 'Rumours' line up minus one of the female singers so you will mostly get songs from that era.
I doubt it will be rubbish. Rumours is a classic.
