QOTSA are by far the best band there is going atm. I've worshiped them since i heard queens of the stone age(my sig :]). I heard 'gamma ray' after i heard teh qotsa album and knew that was it.

If i was you i would get them in this order for the following reasons.

Lullabies To Paralyse
Well rounded album, rocks hard yet very emotional. Catchy tunes, with a modern sound, yet in a way that only josh can produce.

Queens Of The Stone Age
This album rocks sooo fking hard. Mexicola, Regular John, If only, you cant quit me baby.. Jesus that album is amazing. If you want a seriously hard rocking album, go for this

Rated R
Real "stoner" type album imo with a nice cover or two in there. Check out in the fade, monsters in the parasol, better living through chemistry.. Amazing

Songs For The Deaf
Its the staple qotsa diet that album. Amazing tracks, everyone knows it, not much to say really.

Era Vulgaris
Great album, not their best imo, good to listen to, but nothin like their older stuff.

Oh how I wish I was into them back in the very early days. Oh no, I do be only a SFTD/LTP fan(mostly LTP I must admit). But from there, I just knew they'd be brilliant throughout. Love their varying sounds in albums, makes it interesting to see whats next. I still dont understand the LTP bashing, so many good songs on it. Prob over half the album too.

Still though, Better Living Through Chemistry is just too brilliant. Flawless song.

JæKæ · 30-09-2008 3:53am

Yep the first three albums are the best. I'd find it hard to pick my favourite of these. LTP is ok. Era Vulgaris is poor.
I first got into them when I heard John Kelly playin songs off the first album on the Rock Show on Sunday nights. Then I was in the US when R was released, I listened to it for weeks non stop, and went to see them at Ozfest. They were on at 1.30pm for a half hour, which was a pity. Good stuff though.

Songs For The Deaf
Give it a few listens straight through, great album...

The song 'The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret' from Rated R got me into them, but then I got SFTD and it blew me away

Yes Songs for the Deaf most definitely. No-one knows probably one of the greatest "hard rock" singles written in past twenty years.

Ha, that is if they do a proper Europe tour that'll include Ireland. I don't see TCV being a permanent band, it'll be more a once-off album for now, then more over time. They'll be on-off, a lá Desert Sessions.

ttoppcat · 30-08-2009 10:41pm

Aw man don't say that..this would be one kick ass band to see live. I'm really hoping they squeeze an Irish date in somewhere.

I listened to Lullabies to Paralyse last night for the second time ever (once when I bought it). I thought I must have missed something on the first time but no, listening to it again it is a woeful, woeful album. I don't know how this is the same band that did Rated R and Songs for the Deaf (OK, I know it's not the same band).

Yes listened to half of songs for deaf again yesterday and again what a brilliant album. great thread.

0ubliette · 01-09-2009 11:06am

I loved QOTSA back in the day, around 2000 or so was when i first heard them. First album i had was the self titled debut and for my money its still their best album. Its the most raw, straightforward rock album they have. Everything else after that was meandering averageness. Rated R had about 4 or 5 good songs and the rest was just forgettable. I can barely remember anything off that album now. SFTD was great at first but the more i listened to it the more i got annoyed with the stupid radio bits in between every damn song, and the mid section of the album is totally just meh. It completely peters out until the final song. Never bothered listening to anything after that.
Its the same way foo fighters went ****, too many side projects and not enough focus on their main bands and both foos and qotsa went to ****.

Spiritoftheseventies · 04-09-2009 12:11pm

Think your man Mark Lannigan has some irish roots.

laursc321 · 12-08-2014 12:10pm

It's hard to say as they're all so different, their first self entitled album is my favourite, love every song on it. I started with Songs for the Deaf and found it quite hard to get into, but is said to be their best album. Era Vulgaris is a great album, a good variety of heavy and soft songs that I didnt like either at the start but now love. Rated R would be my least favourite but definitely has 2-3 big hits on it. Lullabies is quite eerie but worth getting into. ..like clockwork is an amazing album and their latest, I would probably start with that!

seachto7 · 12-08-2014 10:14pm

Never liked Era Vulgaris bar one or two songs. The first three are very good, Rated R especially good. I would hate to see them make the same album over and over.

AbusesToilets · 14-08-2014 1:33am

I don't think they've hit the same heights since Olivieri (sp?) left. He brought a manic energy that countered some of tendency towards the droning sound the band can have.

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo · 14-08-2014 10:05am

They're the best rock band of the noughties by a stretch in my opinion.

R3P0USH0 · 18-08-2014 3:33pm

So ...

The easiest album of QOTSA to get is probably like clockwork

After here is in my opinion albums from the easiest to find to the hardest to find

Like clockwork...< Songs for the deaf < Rated R < Queens of the stone age < Lullabies to paralyze < Era vulgaris

After my first was songs for the deaf , after in chronologic way i bought Like clockwork , rated R , at the same time lullabies to paralyze and queens of the stone age and the hardest album who i search for about a year was era vulgaris .

After the rarest pearls of QOTSA , in rarity order (from the - rarest class to the + rarest )

Classic albums < Deluxe editions albums < Singles Albums < some of their vinyles like ERA VULGARIS TIME ( who is in my possesion )

The most rarest disc of Qotsa are probably the singles vinyles ( who are most of time with stickers as a gift ) who i search from some years .

The rarest vinyl or the rarest merch of QOTSA is the single vinyle THE FUN MACHINE TOOK A **** AND DIED

If you have more questions u can ask me

hope i was helpfull

Like clockwork
Lullabies to Paralyse
Rated R
QotSA
SFTD
Era Vulgaris

And SFTD is high up on my favourite albums made too!

Agreed. I think Queens have become a bit po-faced and self indulgent in his absence. Rated-R through to Songs for the Deaf were the peak years.

Not quite QOTSA but am watching / listening to this at the minute, a second album would be nice. First one was stand out brilliant.

I disagree slightly, there's a lot of wankery on the album. Oh look what I can do, certain songs are over drawn. Could of been a sharper snappier album.

Caught them in Download, excellent performance. I'd like to hear new material too.

Ah but here, thats what super groups are all about. They're not QOTSA, FF etc......

Josh seems to have gone off the rails, kicking a photographers camera in her face and also at the same show spoke obscenities about Muse (who were billed after them) and referred to audience members as "retards" :eek:

He didn't have the best of nights!

I think he was probably off his head, seemed genuinely contrite in the video he posted today.

It was a ****ty thing to do, a real dick move, but let's not hope the reactions to this get too out of hand.

Always struck me as a funny but very arrogant guy. He apologised, and as long as he sorts the photographer out for medical bills, a new camera and compensation, that should be that. A stupid thing to do, but we've all done silly things when off our heads.
The social media mob won't have it though, until he is in jail most likely...
Maybe Josh's arrogance finally caught up with him...
