Queens of the Stone Age galore (again again)


As promised, the third and last Queens Of The Stone Age rarities collections. Click the "Desert Rock" at the bottom of the post to find the other two.

This one has some of my favorites, like the Brian Eno cover Needle In The Camel's Eye (which elegantly slides into The Velvet Underground's I'm Waiting For My Man), the 2005 version of Infinity (which doesn't beat the 2000 version, but is still very good), the ZZ Top cover Precious And Grace and the excellent live version of A Song For The Dead.

There's also a third version of the fan favorite Born To Hula, and this is probably the best one.
