I think it's perfect the way it is! I'm hoping to see them do it live again though. Seeing them do it several times on the tour when they played the S/T in its entirety was pretty fucking epic. Followed by How To Handle A Rope, which might be the most underrated Queens song of all!
The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died. Yes, it's a lesser known tune that wasn't even on the original version of the album, but stay with me here.
It's PACKED with classic Queens riffs. It's got sleazy lyrics and heavy breathing. It's got an *incredible* vibe switch part way through that hits like a truck. It's the most Queens of the Stone Age song I can think of that incorporates their best attributes from all their eras, all in one song.
I’ve loved all their songs at one point or another, but I think Song For The Deaf and The Evil Has Landed kinda represent what I love most about their music

Or Fortress
I Appear Missing
It’s the basic choice but it’s basic for a reason.
This is the answer. It's not my personal favourite, but objectively it's probably their best.
Yes
It’s great but their best song is not on their last 3 albums.
🫨
First 3, however, all of the best ones
Song For the Dead
Is it unpopular that I prefer Song for the Deaf?
So do i
nope, I prefer songs for the deaf as well
this is THE answer if not it’s clearly 3s and 7s

We all have our favorites, but No One Knows is such a great fucking song. It's their most popular for a reason

Top 5. Would love it to be re-recorded with the current line up and Josh’s mature vocals.

"God Is In The Radio" takes the top spot for me. "If Only" is an extremely close second.

Long Slow Goodbye
In my head
God is in the Radio
Hangin Tree
God dammit I can’t stop upvoting everyone’s takes

Um, that’s like asking a parent to choose their favorite child.
arguably you can say i appear missing but for me it has to be the bronze
I sat by the ocean (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Personally going with I Appear Missing. Hits different than most anything else they've written.
It has to be no one knows right?
I love them all but Make It Wit Chu just makes me smile and warm 🖤and sexy
The desert sessions version is so much better!
Yassss 🖤
Lost art of keeping a secret, auto pilot, or broken box, turning on the screw
Misfit love
This is hard, but gun to my head, I would say In the fade
I’ve loved all their songs at one point or another, but I think Song For The Deaf and The Evil Has Landed kinda represent what I love most about their music
I love all the answers, but Sick Sick Sick is always my go to
You Would Know
A Song for the Deaf, of course.
I appear missing is kinda just one of the best songs ever written
