You can vote for up to 7.
I voted for:
Promised Land
Damaged
Anybody Listening?
Della Brown
Out of Mind
Lady Jane
Empire
-
Damaged and Anybody Listening?
That's it..
Sure I could've picked a couple more Empire tracks, but they don't sniff the jock of the 80's songs I picked.
And when it comes to HITNF, I'd take
Hit The Black and Anytime Anywhere.
-
From that list, I went with:
Damaged
Best I Can
You
Right Side of My Mind
Liquid Sky
Anybody Listening?
spOOL
Altho as I said in the 80s thread, I'd put One and Only or Disconnected in there too in place of Best I Can.
And when it comes to HITNF, I'd take
Hit The Black and Anytime Anywhere.
You wouldn't choose spOOL? That's the most classic QR sounding track on HitNF.
-
sp00L, Real World, Damaged, Anybody Listening?, Jet City Woman, Lady Jane, Bridge. This reminds me I haven't yet listened to any song from Q2K
I also like The Voice Inside from HiNTF. I know it's not a Queensryche sounding song, but... Can't help it
EDIT: Crap, I forgot to mark Damaged. From now on it has a +1 vote
-
Most of Empire basically:
Empire
Damaged
Best I Can
Bridge
Jet City Woman
Silent Lucidity
Rainy Night
First one left out, Sign of the Times
-
Every single one of these polls has at least one track missing from it that has me wondering why, but missing One More Time off this list is a total howler.
-
Anybody Listening?
Real World
Damaged
Out of Mind
Promised Land
Someone Else?
Spool
Right Side just barely missed the cut.

I came here to write this. One More Time is a great song :tup
-
Can I use my 7 votes to vote for Silent Lucidity 7 times?
-
Real World
Sign of the Times
Best I Can
Anybody Listening?
Silent Lucidity
Last Time In Paris (not on the list, but perhaps my favorite QR song ever)
-
Almost all of my favorites off of Promised Land were excluded so I had to think about this some.
Someone Else?
Anybody Listening?
spOOL
Lady Jane
Right Side of My Mind
Best I Can
Empire
-
Off topic but with a purpouse: since there are so many of these polls where we're asked to pick a specific number of favorites, I wouldn't mind some more polls but setlist-oriented.
Like, "Make a setlist for X band", but there should be some limits, for example:
- No more than XX songs
- You have to represent at least X number of albums
- This song has to be there 'cause it's a classic
- It's the anniversary of this album, honor it by putting at least half the album in the set
Stuff like that, I wouldn't mind this kind of challenge, either for DT or any other of the more famous band we discuss :D
-
I knew this would be easy. I picked:
Damaged
I Am I
Best I can
Anybody Listening?
Another Rainy Night
I would have picked Resistance if it had been an option and maybe also Hand on Heart. QR flashed brilliantly in the 80s but then went into drain-circling mode quite rapidly. Empire (i.e., adult contemporary Queensryche) is vastly overrated (particularly Silent Luicidity) -- especially in comparison to Mindcrime. I listened to Promised Land earlier this week (for the first time in a long time). It started out so promisingly, but the second half is pretty bleh.
-
All of mine are from Empire and Promised Land, but it was hard to leave off some others, like sp00l, Right Side, Reach, and My Global Mind (yeah, I know that last one is from PL too). They just missed the cut.
I had to include Silent Lucidity in my top 7. Despite it really falling out of favor due to being so overplayed and over-listened-to, I can still step back from that and appreciate what a fantastic song it is.

True, but it still blows! ;D
Seriously, we are lowering the bar to think very highly of spOOL.

Bullshit. It is a fantastic song and one of QR's best.
-
When Scotty questioned me, I had to listen to it when I got home today because I honestly couldn't remember it.
It does have some classic elements if you happen to consider Promised Land classic, but I don't think spOOL is strong enough to even make Empire.

^^This. It's a meh song on a subpar album.

If by that, you mean it is in the top 3 songs on a top 4 Tate-era album, I agree with you wholeheartedly. But you have a strange way of expressing yourself, because I had to REALLY read between the lines to catch your true meaning.

Here Here! Totally agree on the fantastic-ness of spOOL.

spOOL is a good song, and definitely one of the few keepers on a mediocre record, but it doesn't touch most of the songs from the previous five records.

I love that song, so it did break my heart a little to leave it off.
