I go through phases in the kinda music I listen to. Rock, funk, electronica, punk, Americana etc. I feel like some alt rock. I've heard everything I've heard by the Queens but never bought one of their albums. What's their best?

Second this!

You can also check out Kyuss, previous band of Josh Homme, a bit different genre though.

Thanks. I know Kyuss and the desert rock history etc, just haven't bought any of the music.

Good, but Rated R is better.

The 'Them Crooked Vultures' album is worth a listen, not really QOTSA but a side project with John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl....

Songs for the deaf.

For an something a bit trippy I highly recommend this though. Doesn't really get going until 6 or so minutes in but stick with it..

Rated R is the true classic.

Songs for the Deaf is good but is when they started getting loads of MTV air play so you have the like it secretly and look down on people who say it is their best.

Also, Kyuss were better. Welcome to Sky Valley and Blues for the Red Sun are superb and well worth a spin.

Era Vulgaris shouldn't be overlooked - loads of manic energy

Kyuss were far superior than Qotsa in my biased opinion.

Also checkout Clutch.

I went with Songs For the Deaf. From the moment that first riff hit me over the head I was hooked, loving it. I don't know if it's coz I'd only heard the radio friendly stuff before, but it's heavier than I expected. Sounds fantastic up loud in the car.
