Official Queensryche thread: Kickstart the next album

[WardySI]

Okay, so I might do Queensryche next in my top songs countdown series, and I would include only songs from the 80s and 90s (this is non-negotiable on my end).  I would likely shoot for a top 50 with them.   Anyone interested who would submit a top 50 list (see the first post in the current Maiden countdown for how I run them), quote this post and answer in the affirmative.  Looking for at least 15 peeps.

Answering in the affirmative and would promise to take better time in compiling a correct list 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I think top 50 sounds about right for Queensryche. Even though I probably won't have much from anything past Empire....maybe a couple from Promised Land.

Hmmm, a shorter one could be nice after this marathon of a Maiden one.

It would also only delay the PT one a little bit. 

Maybe a top 30 instead.

nah, top 50. 

So Q2K would be the last album?  What about Tribe, has some great songs and still some involvement from DeGarmo?

I'd have a few Todd songs in my top 50 also but your call.

[wolfking]

The e.p.
The Warning
Rage For Order
Operation : Mindcrime
Promised Land

HITNF has 1 song I would rank. But a top 20 or 25 would be more practical Kev. (Just my opinion)

You missed Empire.

[wolfking]

I don't know. To do a countdown of a band, where only 4 of their albums are represented for a band that has 14 albums feels kind of cheesy to me. Kev..do Porcupine Tree instead.

Agree.

[WardySI]

I'd be happy with either just the classic lineup records (of which there were a total of 6 albums and the EP or 7 albums even if include Tribe being it also involved the classic lineup albeit was cut short when DeGarmo split for the second time) or all of them or whatever!?

Anyway could easily give 50 or more but if 30, 35 whatever, absolutely bring it on \m/

Yes, my brain is shot.

I’d be in for this one.

Running through The Warning this afternoon.  What a fucking amazing album.

NM156, En Force, No Sanctuary, Roads To Madness, Take Hold Of The Flame...

All essential Queensryche anyday and everday!

There's nothing weak or filler on here at all.

No kidding 

[KevShmev]

Once I finish Maiden, I will decide if I am doing Ryche or PT next, but I will plan for them to be the next two, meaning whichever is not next will then be after.

[bosk1]

I'm in, but having 50 AND cutting off in the '90s is going to have a lot of people really scraping the bottom of the barrel to struggle to come up with 50.  I may have to be a jerk and do a competing top 50 thread that does all their albums. 

[King Postwhore]

I remember seeing Queensryche open for KISS on the Animalize tour. I was so taken aback how awesome they were.

I went out the next day and bought, "The Warning."

[TAC]

Yeah they should all be counted. No reason not to. Let the chips fall where they may.
That’s be like only doing Iron Maiden’s first seven albums. Doesn’t make any sense.

[devieira73]

Just an opinion, but I also think that all the QR’s albums should be included. Let the natural selection make its work…

[Samsara]

I'm in on a top-50. But I agree with those who said it should include the total body of work under the brand name.

I mean, I'm all for doing say a top-25 of the original band (which would be EP-HITNF + a few tunes off Tribe + "Justified"), but if you're going to do it, you might as well do the entire catalog under the name Queensryche.

Absolutely.

I actually like American Soldier.

[jjrock88]

Yeah American Soldier had some great tunes on it.  With QR, I'm only interested in EP- HITNF.  I would have to think about it, but if I could pick select songs from Q2K-DTC, I think that would make for one outstanding album. Especially The Right Side of My Mind.

[wolfking]

Yeah, AS has some nice tunes.

Top 75, the whole discography IMO.  I guess I'd be okay with 50 though in reality.

I'm definitely in and think the way you suggest doing it makes great sense (30 or 50 would be ok).

Does that include Frequency Unknown?

[KevShmev]

Well, I try to do these countdowns for them to be fun, and really don't feel like dealing with pissing and moaning about not including anything post-90s, which I said was a non-negotiable, so I will probably just do Porcupine Tree next. Call me a grumpy bastard, but I am dealing with enough shit in real life that I'd rather do a countdown with no drama and that is fun.

[TAC]

Awesome. I told you to go with Porcupine Tree in the first place.


I mean, that seemed to be your plan anyway. That should be a great countdown.

[KevShmev]

Yep, I was trying to pull a Costanza and go against my instincts , and looked how that turned out. 

[TAC]

I believe that is now known as pulling a Shmev.

[Glasser]

I saw Porcupine Tree open for Opeth years ago, they bored me so I never played any of their stuff.

OK, looks like I need to throw on a few PT albums to get fired up.

Sounds good you grumpy bastard. 

I better start finding the few PT albums I have.
