QotSA - Full Discography Ranked
The results of this week's DiscoRun. I didn't know them that well, but damn these guys are really bloody consistent. It was one of the hardest ones I had to rank so far, there could've been 20+ songs that I'd feel no shame putting in my top 10. Enjoy. |
| 80 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Lightning Song
Sweet and short interlude. I really enjoyed it, but as always I won't rate these kinds of songs. |
| 79 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
Six Shooter
Just over a minute, I'll count this one as interlude |
| 78 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
This Lullaby
Intro song, won't rate |
| 77 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Quick and to the Pointless
Not my song this. Good thing its only a minute and a half long. Title is acurate though. |
| 76 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Battery Acid
Nah I just straight up don't like this song. Weird and noisy, not my cup a tea at all. |
| 75 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Skin on Skin
Hmm apart from Medication, this is the first swing and miss for me on Lullabies. The album as a whole is a lot moodier and more experimental, but here they've lost me with the odd screams and super fuzzy baslines. |
| 74 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Medication
A Straightforeward affair really. Not a big fan, but it's short so it flies by. |
| 73 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Broken Box
Ehh that's two in a row that I don't really like. Cmon guys, don't drop the ball on me now, album was being so consistent until now. |
| 72 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Leg of Lamb
Don't enjoy this one as much as the previous two. The dissonant guitar 'whining' doesn't stick with me as the others do. |
| 71 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
"You Got a Killer Scene There, Man…"
Uh its better than the previous two I guess, but still not my fav. The boring sounding vocals are completely intentional, but are just that for me, boring. The guitar solo starts out kinda bad but than becomes pretty great again near the ending. |
| 70 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
You Would Know
Not my favorite of this album so far, but decent song nonetheless. |
| 69 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
Gonna Leave You
So far this is the song on Song for the Deaf that I like least. That is not to say it's not a good song mind you, I just don't enjoy it as much as the others, most of which are fenomenal |
| 68 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
Hispanic Impressions
This song is like, super silly. Sounds kinda like a joke. |
| 67 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
I'm Designer
Another one that really didn't stick at first listen. The energy seems lower somehow than on other albums or is that just me? |
| 66 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Suture Up Your Future
See 3's & 7's. |
| 65 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
3's & 7's
Don't remember anything from this song. The quality of this album is pretty steady I have to say, but overall just a bit less than their previous four outings. |
| 64 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Turning on the Screw
Huh… I have no idea what to think about this song. It seems quite different from the other records so far. It surely ain't bad, but it didn't really stick either. |
| 63 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Monsters in the Parasol
This a really weird one. Don't really know how I feel about it. |
| 62 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Fortress
This is the first song from Villains that I don't really care about. It feels a little safe to me. |
| 61 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Make it Wit Chu
You know, I think I enjoy this song more because I disliked the previous song so much, 'cus this is a very safe song. I did enjoy it though, one of the better ones from Era Vulgaris so far. |
| 60 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Into the Hollow
Kinda average. Not to much to say about it. |
| 59 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
In My Head
A little more straightforeward than the others so far, but a good song in its own right. Josh's voice keeps the experimentation up enough to keep it interesing. |
| 58 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
Another Love Song
It's a pitty, but I think the second half of the record is decidedly less amazing than the first half imo (at first listen ofcourse). |
| 57 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
Avon
Nice and groovy. I already feel that I'm going to really enjoy this ride. |
| 56 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Hideaway
Do I like this. I dunno. Average song for me. |
| 55 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Un-Reborn Again
Nah this is not my cup a tea. I don't know why, but I feel like the energy is somehow lacking on this song. I did like the ending though, second half of the song kicked it up a notch! |
| 54 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
Smooth Sailing
Not one of my favorites from …Like Clockwork, but it has a lot going on in therms of instrumentation which make it more interesting. |
| 53 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
River in the Road
Hmm I don't know man. Maybe my head was just not in the place as I listened to this record, but it was (almost) never outright bad and never as good as any of the other records. |
| 52 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Misfit Love
So far this album sounds kinda phoned in. Like they had a deadline but not really the energy or inspiration. Maybe I'm to harsh on it but the moment I think it I can't stop thinking it. |
| 51 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
I Think I Lost My Headache
The ending of this spins completely out of control in a weird way. The song itself was pretty ok, but not one of my favorites from Rater R. Overall it was a great album though! |
| 50 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
If Only
In some ways I've always felt QotSA was simple rock'nRoll at its finest. Yet I never really took the time to get myself versed in it. I'm enjoying this a hell of a lot though. |
| 49 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Head Like a Haunted House
I liked the teramin sounding instrument. That helped giving extra juice to the song. Rest of the song is a little average for them. |
| 48 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
In the Fade / Feel Good Hit of the Summer [Reprise]
QotSA taking the energy level down a notch to make a more mid-tempo rock anthem. I like it, but its not my favorite from Rated R so far. |
| 47 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Villains of Circumstance
The last song of the run. Overall I am amazed by how consistent QotSA is. Only Era Vulgaris felt like a dip in quality, but forgetting that one every album has been consistently great. This one is a great swansong that I enjoyed more than most others on Villains. |
| 46 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
Kalopsia
A bit more toned down than the others but quite the nice song in its own right. |
| 45 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Sick, Sick, Sick
Loving the bass sound on this song. So punchy and groovy. Song is better than the previous one for me. |
| 44 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
I Never Came
The mood and atmosphere is really good in this song. I don't know if I enjoy so much headvoice in this song, but it didn't annoy me so that's something I guess. I can see this being in people's top10, but its not for me. |
| 43 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Auto Pilot
Just a plain, mid-tempo, good ol' time. Really catchy chorus. |
| 42 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
I Was a Teenage Hand Model
All in all, this is such a tight album with excellent pacing. Ending with a more layback chill song after all them grooves is genius and makes this song pop in its own right. Don't really like the weird drone sounds though, they're mixed a little agressively and annoy me a little. |
| 41 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Domesticated Animals
Hmm I started out not really liking what I heard, and then the song got better and better until at the end I was really tapping my feet along. |
| 40 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
…Like Clockwork
A sweet and smooth closer that for me is not one of the better tracks on the album, but is still a very interesting and good song! |
| 39 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Long Slow Goodbye
Its so sad really. They should've just cut Skin on Skin, Broken Box and "You got a…" and this record would've been a 4.5/5 for me. As it is I'm not even sure I'd give it a 4. This ending song at least ends it on a good note! |
| 38 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
The Blood is Love
Now that is one odd intro. This song goes all over the place, which is a nice dynamic change from most of the other songs. I love the part where the bpm slows down to give a more moody instrumental break before it weirdly and uncomfortably steps back up in tempo. |
| 37 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
God is in the Radio
A slow burning that's pretty sweet nonetheless. |
| 36 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
Regular John
Huh. Start of a new DiscoRun and I didn't expect to know the first song I listen to. I know some QotSA but hey, more than I thought it seems. |
| 35 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
The Evil has Landed
I like this one more than the previous couple of songs, and I think its one of my favorite from Villains |
| 34 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
If I Had a Tail
The quality of this album so far is super consistent, but all songs are completely different which I really nice. |
| 33 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
I Sat by the Ocean
More straightforeward for QotSA but its done really well. |
| 32 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris
Run Pig Run
Hey they picked it up at the last possible second. The guitar licks seem way more inspired and interesting than on anything else the record has thrown at me. And that weird carnaval-esque bridge around a minute and a half was creepy and cool. |
| 31 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Feel Good Hit of the Summer
Ha that was fun. |
| 30 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
The Way You Used to Do
Ha this is cool, almost rockabilly style. Nice change of pace. |
| 29 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
The Vampyre of Time and Memory
This is a pretty great ballad. Little early on the album placementwise, but hey if its good, its good |
| 28 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Someone in the Wolf
I couldn't keep my feet from tapping here. Boebiedoebiedoep.. Boebiedoebiedip dip |
| 27 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Everybody Knows that You're Insane
The first real statement of Lullabies and I really like it. The way it starts of moody and slow and than goes into straight headbanging rock n' roll is great. |
| 26 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
The Sky is Fallin'
This was good but didn't grab me as much as the rest of the album so far. |
| 25 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R
Tension Head
Song starts out full sludge, than goes more to a hardcore vibe. I enjoyed it a lot. |
| 24 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
Give the Mule What He Wants
I wonder if all them grooves will ever start to get boring. So far nope, this is still fricking fun! |
| 23 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
How to Handle a Rope
How can you keep your head from bobbing or your feet from tapping with songs as groovy as this. |
| 22 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
Fairweather Friends
Fuck me this album is consistent. Another great one here. |
| 21 | | Queens of the Stone Age
...Like Clockwork
Keep Your Eyes Peeled
This song has so much going on, most of it really good. Love it. |
| 20 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Little Sister
Hey another one I know that I didn't know was from QotSA. Or I did know and completely forgot. Good time this, I see why it was the single. |
| 19 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Tangled up in Plaid
This album feels a little more experimental so far and for these first two songs it really pays off. I like the slower, moodier QotSA, because they never forget to have some great riffs in there for good measure. |
| 18 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
Go With the Flow
Another one I know that I didn't know I knew, if you know what I mean. This album man.. So full of great songs. |
| 17 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age
You Can't Quit Me Baby
For me, this is the first song where Josh Homme really shows his worth as a vocalist. The vocal lines are so infectious and the song itself grooves for days. Song spins completely out of control near the end, which is fun but wasn't really nessecary imo. |
| 16 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Villains
Feet Don't Fail Me
Villains starting out strong here. Its quite inventive in both its structure and instrumentation. |
| 15 | | Queens of the Stone Age

Do it Again
Do it AGAIIINNNNN |
| 14 | | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
A Song for the Dead
It's cool that they can write a more mid-tempo song and still retain the energy of the first songs. It's a good heavy rock song that leaves me wanting more of this. Please rest of the album, please give me more of this. Ok that ending makes it a straight up banger. |
| 13 | | Queens of the Stone Age

Walkin' on the Sidewalks
