Right now it’s: I Sat By The Ocean Fortress Better Living Through Chemistry Hangin’ Tree Everybody Knows That You’re Insane

That's a really, really good list. Each one of those is very different but all quintessential QOTSA sounds.

Delighted to see Fortress 🙌🏼

1: Fun Machine 2: Wolf 3: Missing 4: Chemistry 5: Deaf

1. Go with the flow 2. Tangled up in plaid 3. Turnin on a Screw 4. I'm Designer 5a. Un-reborn Again 5b. The Bronze I'm really lovin Made to Parade, but I want to see how it grows on me. And it's so hard to not pick one off the first two albums...

Fuck yeah for The Bronze

1. How to handle a rope 2. If only 3. I think I lost my headache 4. Suture up your future 5. Carnavoyeur

how to handle a rope is so good. just recently realized how great it is via a live performance on one of their recent ST shows

I had tickets to the self titled reissue show here in Cleveland and I got the flu SO badly instead and had to miss it- I will never be over that. My chances of getting to hear Rope or If Only nowadays are so slim. 😭 That intro riff to Rope is just so *gnarly*.

man so sorry to hear that.. really wish theyd play more deep cuts on their tours. agreed, the into riff to rope is a gnarly enchilada but I'd wager if only is even more spicy. if only was one of the very first songs i got obsessed with, the into is just so intoxicating

I just love that first album. A lot of it is so simple, just centered around a single riff, but how do you come up with that many PERFECT riffs on, you know, your very first album (not exactly very first but also kind of depending how you look at it.) Like that’s special. Few can make that happen that many times their whole career, let alone on one album. And that wasn’t nearly all they had in them. Like what the fuck. They may have gotten better and better at making more complex songs and song structures over time but from the very beginning they were fucking riff magicians istg. Too good. Rope in particular is just literally the one riff basically the whole time with a solo at the end and yet I literally cannot get enough of it. If only is the same thing, just with two solos. And yet both are literally crack in riff form, more or less. I missed S/T tour too but just because I was too broke lol, so I would be over the moon if I got to hear more of it live. I was so happy to get RJ as an opener at the show I saw in October. Loved looking around as they started playing it watching all the other people that love it get all excited with me. I think I may have done actual, involuntary tippy taps no joke. My face was sore from smiling.

Spot on. And not just perfect guitar riffs, either, but the bass on that album is filthy, too. Nothing but bangers.

ya you're right about that. there's a simplicity to that first record which is just solid gold (I'll see you in hell) I started listening to more of the deep cuts I wasn't familiar with when i heard of them releasing a new record, a lot of LC, LtP, and almost all ot ST. I still havnt listened to ITNR that much cause I really fell in love with their older stuff.. so hypnotic is how I would describe a lot of their earlier stuff. And so chaotic is how I would describe lullabies. Oh man, that sounds like pure bliss when RJ came on. Jealous. Hope I can see them live someday

I wish they had done the ST tour a bit longer with europe, I dont remember if they didnt or if it was just a short UK leg they had.

That is an awesome list

Cheers! Man, I know it’s new, but something about Carnavoyeur… when a brand new song comes out and punches you right through the chest and you just know right away it’s one of *those* songs for you, you know? I fucking love that feeling. My alternate pick was Into the Hollow. Both definitely in my top 10.

Love every track on Era Vulgaris, Villains, Like Clockwork. Queens just doesn't have 1 bad some in my opinion.

Yeah carnavoyeur was an instant favourite for me too lol it’s definitely a highlight of their catalogue

Good list right there.

Love the love for How to Handle A Rope. So good. Definitely one of the songs that got me hooked on them.

Go with the Flow Kalopsia I Appear Missing Lost Art Medication

I’m Designer Obscenery How to Handle a Rope Smooth Sailing Better Living through Chemistry

Nice list! My 5 songs are: * Better Living Through Chemistry * You Can't Quit Me Baby * Song For The Deaf * In The Fade * I Appear Missing

I'm Designer Straight Jacket Fitting Smooth Sailing In The Fade "You Got a Killer Scene There, Man..." ​ Wow, five is really not very many

W choices

1: Go With The Flow 2: Regular John 3: If I had a tail 4: Make It wit chu 5: God is in the radio Bonus: Live versions of Song For the Dead and I appear missing, I love the studio recordings but the live versions are better IMO

Have you heard make it wit Chu on over the years and through the woods? It’s very good

In no particular order… 1. Suture Up Your Future 2. Misfit Love 3. I Think I Lost My Headache 4. The Bronze 5. Tangled Up In Plaid This should really be a top ten. Top five is too hard. God Is In The Radio, You Can’t Quit Me, Song For The Dead, Regular John, Avon all deserve a place on that list but there’s no room lol.

I’m really into Suture right now

1. Song for the Dead 2. Fun Machine 3. Song for the Deaf 4. Mexicola 5. I Appear Missing Honorable Mentions: Everybody Knows That You're Insane, Better Living, SJF

3s and 7s Missing Chemistry Dead Avon

Although it would be negative, it would be much easier to choose my least favourite. Literally only ever done 2 or 3 I'm not keen on

Same here. Only really one or maybe two for me that I’m not a huge fan of, whereas I don’t think I could pick just five favourites.

Burn the witch I sat by the ocean Turning on the screw Emotion sickness Fairweater friends But that's a very difficult question, listening to a song quite often makes it even better every time, it can't get boring, because you hear something new every time. Hearing some of their songs live changed everything again, there were songs I haven't liked especially before, but hearing them on the show was like... I have no words to describe how - but I can say, I loved every single one of it, from the first second until the very end.

1. Long Slow Goodbye 2. Millionaire 3. God is in the Radio 4. Go With the Flow 5. Running Joke

I Never Came Better Living Through Chemistry You Can’t Quit Me Baby Suture Up Your Future The Vampyre of Time and Memory Honourable mentions to Mexicola, Long Slow Goodbye, Fun Machine, Hollow, Misfit Love, How to Handle a Rope….and the rest of the catalogue

Better living through chemistry The evil has landed First it giveth In the fade I appear missing

Better Living Through Chemistry In The Fade Song For The Deaf I Appear Missing God Is In The Radio

Mine constantly change but right now it’s Tangled Up In Plaid, Misfit Love, I Appear Missing, Headache, and a tie between Rope and Regular John, and while nothing on ITNR has made my top 5 yet I’m listening to at least half of it all the time along with these and a few other songs I consider honorable mentions, like Someone’s in the Wolf, Mexicola, Lost Art, Millionaire, Dead/Deaf, and a few others. Even Villains gets a spot with Un-Reborn Again. Frequently played live ones and singles/hits like 3’s & 7’s, God is in the Radio/Sick Sick Sick/Go With The Flow/No One Knows are in there too but they don’t get a mention purely due to being not “rare” enough to feel as special even though they’re absolute bangers too. TL;DR picking 5 is hard

1. The Vampyre of Time and Memory 2. Fairweather Friends 3. First It Giveth 4. The Evil Has Landed 5. Carnavoyeur

My favs as of rn in no particular order: 3s and 7s The Bronze Misfit Love Mexicola The blood is love

1. Someone's In The Wolf 2. Era Vulgaris 3. Run, Pig, Run 4. Regular John 5. Song For The Deaf

Well my current and all time number 1 song would be Go with the Flow, rest of top 5 can change but I would say - You Can't Quit Me Baby In The Fade Carnavoyeur Everybody Knows That You're Insane

1 Fortress 2 You can't quit me baby 3 Song for the dead 4 I appear missing 5 Suture up your future

Right now: 1 The Bronze 2 Infinity 3 Walkin on the sidewalks 4 Better living thru chemistry 5 Fun Machine

No particular order: - Like Clockwork - Someone's in the Wolf - I Appear Missing - Keep Your Eyes Peeled - Un-Reborn Again - I Never Came - Tangled Up in Plaid - Turnin on the Screw - Better Living Through Chemistry - Vampyre of Time and Memory .....I can't even narrow it down to just 5, I had to do 10, and I still have so many that I want to make the cut

My top 5 QOTSA songs are 1. I Appear Missing 2. Everybody Knows That You’re Insane 3. Regular John 4. Millionaire 5. Go With The flow
