    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.
    Nick Oliver isn't on the self titled album. His phone message is at the end of I Was a Teenage Handmodel and he's in the band picture, but he didn't actually play on it.

    Totally agree that it should be listened to next though. And listened to LOUD

    I got into them when Clockwork came out but got into the rest of their albums in spring of last year. Era is my personal favorite.

    +1 for Era Vulgaris. A fun album with BIG hooks
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    That was definitely my favorite song on the album upon first listen. Just wish I would have had the chance to see them play it live more than once out of five shows I saw on this album cycle (two of those were shorter sets: Jimmy Kimmel Live and Coachella). It's pretty epic live. "Smooth Sailing" rips live and became my 1a favorite song on the album over the course of the tour.

    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 :lol: ) Give it time, people. Digest. Listen again. Let it simmer :)

    I did let it digest...and I am still hungry. I think I have decided upon Era Vulgaris as my next album to get.

    Can't go wrong with that choice. Side B of Era is exceptional.

    Like Clockwork. Best LP in the last 5 yrs by any band, period.

    I love it. But all the people I know who have loved queens from the start, hated clockwork. I personally love when a band actually evolves (like cage the elephant) instead of redoing the same formula.

    Is their a reason I NEVER hear a QOTSA song playing on the radio. I listen to rock stations and I hear Pearl Jam. But in past 15 month that I got into this bad not one time have I heard them on radio.

    I mean Like Clockwork is a masterpiece and needs to only be played in its entirety so that could be a reason...

    good question. philly rock radio stations don't/rarely play them either.

    I do remember hearing Feel Good Hit of the Summer,No One Knows and Little Sister a few times but that's about it. Nothing in a long time though which is kinda weird.

    I dunno. The main rock station where I am play them regularly... although not with enough variety. They still only stick with the popular singles. I figure any rock station that doesn't play at least a little QOTSA are dropping the ball. Maybe just email your station and ask them to play them more. I've done that in the past, and it totally worked.
