Wow, what a tough one!  As you&#8217;ll hear in my audio portion (warning, not a professional, but I thought it would put some peer pressure on my bud), I did narrow down my view of the band and my Top 5, to the first 5 releases, the self-titled EP and then the first four full-length albums.  I know the band continues beyond those 5 releases, but for me, that era was such a formative time for much of my music tastes, it&#8217;s where I felt it made sense to focus.  I appreciate what they released after Empire and are still releasing today and am glad to see them still out on the road releasing new music.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new album, The Verdict with Todd La Torre on vocal, is quite good, but the band is down to Eddie Jackson and Michael Wilton from the original lineup, so to me it is a new era of the band entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click below to hear my Top 5 Queensr\u00ffche tracks and take pity on the &#8220;DJ&#8221;, he&#8217;s very green \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/tuningnotes.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DJ-QR-Top5-032419.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption>My TuningNotes Top 5 Queensr\u00ffche Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I listen to a lot of Podcasts over a wide range of varying topics: music, sports, retro gaming, retro computers, a Wharton statistics podcast, among others.
