They have a concert movie?! Ohhh the gift that keeps on giving!

I'll be sure to check it out after I get through all their albums...but considering how long I spend on each album it might be awhile :(

the album that really got me into the was Song for the Deaf so that would be my recommendation. Rated r is also very solid.

Check out Over The Hills And Through The Woods.. From the Lullabies tour. It's a double CD/DVD from the London shows.

Can someone please elaborate more on this Desert Sessions material? Is it legit music? Ramblings? I see some pressed on vinyl but rated poorly for sound :(

It's legitimate music, some of it very good some not. It's basically a rotating collection of Palm Desert musicians getting together to write and record music. In not a vinyl listener so I can't really say how they sound.

There are fake Desert Session albums out there and there are legit ones. The legit ones are of course more expensive. I have some fake ones and they are ok in my book. I don't like all of them, my favourite is Black Anvil Ego, Vol 6. And I still want to get Vol 9/ 10 one day. The cool thing is that some of them contain earlier versions of some Qotsa material, pretty interesting to see how they evolved and developed. This is one of my favourite songs. Definitely worth checking out

Songs for the Dead

TL170678

What really got me into QOTSA is "Over the years and through the Woods"....The cd is basically their greatest hits live and seeing the live in a small club in 07....

But what hit it out of the park for me was the live shows from 3 years before that because they were a totally different band live because of Dave Grohl on drums , and Mark Lanegan, Nick Oliveri on some vocals.... Songs like "Millionaire", Auto Pilot" "Gonna Leave You", God is in the Radio" "Song for the deaf" & "Dead", "Hangin Tree" "In the Fade".... All just great songs.....
There are 3 B-sides out there I think you should check out: "Infinity", The Bronze", Born to Hula".......

I really got into "R", "Self Titled" and "Lullibies to Paralyze" the most.... Still have not listened to Clockwork enough to comment on it, except I still Miss Lanegan & Oliveri when I listen to it....

Besides the 11 songs above, this is my QOTSA playlist that I put in MP3 cd....
Better living through Chemistry
How to Handle a Rope
You Would Know
I can`t quit you baby
Mexicola
Feel Good Hit
Avon
Into the Hollow
Turnin the Screw
3`s & 7`s
This Lulliby
Medication >(into)
Little Sister ( thanks to Eddie for suggesting that combo on PJ Radio)
E`body Knows- Insane
Tangled up in Plaid (arguably my favorite QOTSA song)
Burn the Witch
In My Head (Was in Need for Speed Underground 2 back in the day:)
These next few songs are what a lot hate about Lullibies, but I personally love)
Blood is Love
Skin on Skin
Broken Box (Pussy)
Someone in the Wolf

Monsters in the Parasol (LSD song)
Misfit Love
Long Slow Goodbye
I never Came....
Lost Art of Keeping Secret
Leg of Lamb
I think I lost my F`ing Headache (From "Over the Years")
If Only (Top 3 song)
Regular John ( Top 10 song)
Sky is Fallin

I bought Like Clockwork yesterday. I listened to it once and so far I think it is good.
Lullabies to Paralyze I can't get into, gave it a listen. I love Medication however.
The only albums I do not own and have not heard are the debut self titled and Era Vulgaris.
I like Rated R the most followed by Songs for the Deaf.

You are exactly where I am at in my journey through QOTSA except I have listened to Like Clockwork a 1000 times in the past 6 month and absolutely love it...scroll up for my thoughts on Lullabies.

So fucking good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJbP9kisQsQ (The part from 3:44 on is my fave, and that woman with the bag always makes me giggle ) Give it time, people. Digest. Listen again. Let it simmer

Okay just wrapping up Lullabies on repeat the past few months. I am down to never hearing Self-titled and Era Vulgaris. What should I listen to next?!

Self Titled!! So many good songs; Avon, Regular John, If Only, Mexicola, How To Handle A Rope. It's where it all began and includes Nick Oliveri.
