Who else thinks this band is awesome? I've been familiar with them since 1994, and they've been my favorite band since 1999. Personally, I think their best albums are Ixnay On The Hombre, Smash, and Ignition.

No, I like them. Not one of my "favorites", but they're enjoyable. The only thing I don't like is that so many of their songs sound the same. It's cool that they admited that fact though.

I like that song, pretty fly for a white guy. Overall they're alright I suppose. Nothing really special about them.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Pretty Fly For A White Guy is their worst song. It's too pop for them.
Their best songs are Self Esteem, Gone Away, Dirty Magic, Genocide, pretty much anything from the albums Ignition (1992), Smash (1994) and Ixnay On The Hombre (1997). Ever since 1998 (their most recent 3 albums), they've been picking the worst songs off their albums as singles, because they are the most "commercial".

SMASH rules. I love that CD.. Favorite song is Bad Habit..
if I was younger I go to Warp to see them.. I haven;t seen them in a few years..

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
