Ultimate Rhoads

I dont know about anybody else but I think that QR1 was a bit crapy! I think the guys really seemed to get there act together by the time they recorded QR2.
I wish they had managed to record a third album with Rudy because I really love 'Breaking upin a heartache' i think it had a really class mature feel.

Is this Randy era only?

I dont think anybody will mind if you want to talk about post Randy QR

I like QR 1

For what they are, I like both QR 1 and 2. I like that style of music and Randy created a great framework for someone else to expand on... he may have reworked them himself had he had a chance... musically, they ain' bad...vocally they are a bit week...

Had the right people put money into QR at that time and given them direction, they'd have been great and Ozzy would be watching American Idol wondering, "what if?"

I really like Metal Health, great album! I like some of QRII and some of QRI but Kevin on a few sounds cheesy and very childlike...

A very good QR album is the 88 S/T with Paul Shortino. I like QR III, too.

Condition Critical was OK as well it was from the mid 1980's. I heard on Tuesday.

I saw some old poor quality video of them with Rudy a few weeks ago and the band was fine but Kevin didn't deserve any awards

That is very true my friend

Not sure if this count as well.
But I really like "The Randy Rhoads years", that's by far my most favorite QR album!

Dutch.....I agree.

I also agree; "Randy Rhoads years" really caught my ear and I got into QR 1 & 2. after that, even if I had heard glimpses of those albums before...well they just didn´t sound like Ozzy stuff, so maybe it was because of that!

I kinda know what you mean. The first time i heard QR1 I was like: this is pretty bad!" but then as i listened to it more and more i relalized there are some killer cuts on there. Demolition Derby, Its Not So Funny. there is some good stuff on that album.
I also agree with the third album with randy. that would have been a kickin album. They would of had some really good cuts on there. But I guess Randy Rhoads years is sortta the third album...kinda.
I would have to say my favorite is QR2. Everys songs has something that is good about it. Some cuts are killer, some arent. but every track has something good about it.

I've got a DVD with QR playing It's Not So Funny live, and that song rocks... The actual recording of QR 1 isn't so good, but the songs are quality, in my opinion.
