it's a song he played with quiet riot but never recorded in a studio
my favorite is revelation

Actually The Mighty Quinn was recorded in the studio... I've never heard a live version, however...

Suicide Solution has the pounding bass and 4 on the floor drums. Sets the groove!

I Don't Know (i didn't pick this song)

every song randy made was good

but i would pick Diary for 2 reasons

1. this was the first song i downloaded
2.this was the first randy song i learned to play, i also taught it in one of my classes and they were blown away.

P.s. the song mighty quinn is really called Quinn The Eskimo
thats probially why Rocky Rhoads never heard of the song you should change that error

Just to clarify, RockyRhoads knows the song, rocky_rhoads said he'd never heard of it... why someone else has my screen name without the capital letters is beyond me.

Also for the record, it was originally written/recorded by Bob Dylan. It was then covered by Manfred Mann who titled it Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo) - this is the version usually heard on the radio. It's kinda cool to listen to the original and the Manfred Mann version and the Quiet Riot version back to back to back hear how Randy "made it his"...

I love all his work with ozzy but diary to me was a hint of where he was headed.awesome song especially the slow middle part.

From this list I have to say "Mr. Crowley" , His solos on this are just untouchable, a song within a song, one of if not his best shining moment on record !!!!

I must add Goodbye To Romance..this song & Diary..are my
top faves..no question about it.I don't know what it is about
GTR but it is a meaningful song that I feel Randy put so much
heart & soul into..but he did that with all his material

I haven't looked at this thread in ages, and now that I am, I'm wondering why The Mighty Quinn (or Quinn the Eskimo) is on the list, being a cover of someoneelses song?

Picking Up the Pieces is also an excellent QR song. I believe that would have been a hit, had it been supported by a record company that believed in the band.

Mr.Crowley! The first time I ever heard Randy and still my all time favourite song nearly 25 years later!

Obviously they're all so good, and depending on moods etc, but for the moment I'm going with Revelation. It was great just recently to hear him discussing it in one of the seminars as well. A true showcase of his epic and dynamic style, I never tire of it. Crowley and Diary are hot on the heels though. I could go on but Ill stop there

Ok, I'm gonna say that my favorite Randy song with Quiet Riot is Laughing Gas, and my favorite with Ozzy is Diary of a Madman.
