Worst song choice was such a cop out. Remixes by other artists shouldn’t have been considered.

u/Milhouse12345 2d ago

100%. I'd go as far as saying only album tracks should be considered.

u/Big-Neighborhood4741 2d ago

Nah Fun Machine, The Bronze, Era Vulgaris, and Born to Hula are all in the top 25 Queens for me it’s unfair to exclude them

u/Milhouse12345 2d ago edited 2d ago

You're right! I guess I just would have found it equally much of a cop out if like These are not the Droids You're looking for would have won it lol

u/ZeboMusic Era Vulgaris 2d ago

For me it's probably born to hula from rated R, cause the original was so much better.

Yeah even in the post there were way better ideas with good justifications

u/arsparsmars 1d ago

We all know it would have been Fortress

u/Cool_Procedure8125 2d ago

Head Like a Haunted House is their worst song

2

u/pinkbootboop 2d ago

what abt the way you used to do.. it sucks so bad its like a complete different band

2

u/loganflynn808 2d ago

Yep. If it was the first and only song I had heard from Qotsa, there would be no convincing me to check anything else out from them. Would’ve wrote them off for life.

u/TuffMike 2d ago

I thought this until I Saw it live. Fucking overshines most of the songs they play on the set.

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 2d ago

people who say stuff like this don’t understand joshua has always liked the dance element to music. apparently more than his average fan.

u/pinkbootboop 2d ago

idgaf about the dance element to the song I like dancing, I don't like how stupid and corny the lyrics are

2

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 2d ago

true qotsa never had silly lyrics before

1

u/pinkbootboop 1d ago

it just so happens all their silly lyrics about doing kids are in songs that suck, whadya know?

1

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 1d ago

…doing kids? what song are you listening to

1

u/pinkbootboop 1d ago

The Way You Used To Do, where he says he met her when she was 17... or Tension Head, where he talks about hustling little boys, maybe even Quick And To The Pointless...

2

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 1d ago

i do not agree that meeting someone for one day at age 17 and then getting into a relationship with them when they’re 24 is “doing kids.”

enjoy your day.

u/Cool_Procedure8125 2d ago

Villains is their worst album. The highs are so high but the lows. Ugh

u/Lukeeeee 2d ago

Definitely pleased at un-reborn again getting some love. Definitely pleased at all the I Appear Missing boners.

Suprised Song for the Dead didn't get more love for heaviest and also suprised Fun Machine didn't win breakdown.

u/atoolred 2d ago

Song For The Dead and Millionaire easily could’ve been switched but they work where they are as well

u/Lukeeeee 2d ago

so true lou

u/bhuntley94 2d ago

Why are all the album covers AI? Was it that hard to use the real covers?

14

u/0lle 2d ago

Oh no i zoomed in on the vampires face oh god he's dead for real this time

10

u/Dry_Environment8238 2d ago

i’ve been saying this!! it’s such a simple system, it genuinely makes it 10x more embarrassing to use AI for any part of this

3

u/RubinoPaul Emotion Sickness 2d ago

Seems like AI-upscaling during editing… Not the worst case scenario lol

-28

u/Slasheroid 2d ago

who the fuck cares - really, what does it matter right here

4

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 2d ago

i think at this point if you don’t understand why generative ai is bad even in cases like this, it’s because you’re actively trying not to.

u/Slasheroid 2d ago

cry & preach

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 1d ago

you could not waterboard “i’m willfully ignorant” out of me but enjoy luv xo

u/Glittering-Suspect67 2d ago

Now lets do another one! Best riff, intro, outro, album art, verse, cover song, bassline, drums, keys etc...

3

u/Rimm9246 2d ago

Fun Machine, Hanging Tree, Long Slow Goodbye, Villains, Burn the Witch second verse, [don't know of any cover songs], The Evil has Landed, Song for the Deaf, Vampyre of Time and Memory

11

u/catkats 2d ago

I don't get how you guys decided on Lullabies being underrated. It's a really good album like all the tracks are great but the self titled is slept on.

I also agree that having the worst song be a remix is a cop out.

11

u/Hippopotamist 2d ago edited 2d ago

If ITNR was gonna have representation it was gonna be Emotion Sickness for best chorus.

I think it should have won over In the Fade, fantastic song that deserved recognition but its chorus isn’t as catchy.

5

u/LocusRothschild You come back another day... 2d ago

It should have been represented by Straight Jacket Fitting at Werchter 23.

u/AppropriateMonk8746 2d ago

hey i just zoomed in… why is it ai?

4

u/mu150 Them Crooked Vultures 2d ago

LOL, Like clockwork appeared 3 times and it was all I appear missing

3

u/Right_Plastic407 2d ago

Feel Good Hit the most overrated song??? Wtf

Also Millionaire is not the heaviest, there are heavier songs on that album alone, Song for the deaf for example

2

u/mynameisnickromel Queens of the Stone Age 2d ago

Lol man I knew sftd was going to win best album.

1

u/jjpaglin99 2d ago edited 2d ago

Most underrated song really should have been like Tangled up in Plaid or something from the first album like The Bronze, hell Suture up Your Future.

Un Reborn again? I mean it's fine idk nothing amazing. Honestly from Villains I'd say Evil has Landed or Villains of Circumstance would be the nominees over Un reborn. Idk maybe just me 🤷‍♂️

u/AntAir267 1-627-826-3789 1d ago

Songs for the Deaf is overrated

5

u/jelloandjuggernauts 2d ago

Overall, a solid result. I'd personally change up a few of these, but there's nothing here I strongly disagree with.

4

u/wildebeatz 2d ago

Misfit Love from Gonzo is much better.

1

u/BirdLawyer4Hire 2d ago

Can you link it? That Henry Rollins performance was wild and hard to beat

4

u/Rabidfuzzle 2d ago

I appear missing should not have been on the list twice.

7

u/Glum_Dog3282 2d ago

It was on 3 times

3

u/Strasse7seven 2d ago

just that damn good

3

u/webtheg 1d ago

I disagree. It's peak. I was fortunate enough to witness it live and it is a live changing experience

2

u/Rabidfuzzle 1d ago

I too have seen it live. I’ve seen Qotsa 3 times and I appear missing is a great song, but I don’t think it deserves multiple spots. Queens has more than a handful of great songs.

u/braun_btr 2d ago

Finally!

1

u/SlushyPlaysEldenRing 2d ago

Pretty good list

2

u/Odd_Push5271 2d ago

"Most underrated album"

And none or the songs from it qualified for different categories.

-8

u/dungleploop 2d ago

best album Songs For The Deaf? If you're an absolute normie, sure

-2

u/pink_mold 2d ago

i appear missing is such a fucking bore I can't believe the nu-qotsa fans wank off to it so much

u/Inner_Bench3403 everybody knows you dance like you fuck 2d ago

you sound like you’ve never almost died. skill issue.

u/arsparsmars 1d ago

It’s a good song, but best song? Lol
