The band has meant a lot for me for a long time. I got to see them three times, which was life changing. 1. Sky Valley 2. Circus 3. Blues 4. Wretch

Thank you very much for redoing this ranking. We watched the first version all through even when there was no sound. You have very loyal fans. Thanks again.

Kyuss is just amazing and every one of their albums are great. Here would be my ranking: 4. Wretch 3. …And the Circus Leaves Town 2. Blues for the Red Sun 1. Welcome to Sky Valley

Thank you so much Pete- I am very grateful for your commitment to the channel and your audience.

MY TOP: 1. Welcome to Sky Valley 2.Blues for the Red Sun 3. …And the Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch

Still remember getting "Blues for the Red Sun" through the door and it's still my favourite today. I was absolutely obsessed with them and they still are up there with one of my favourite bands. 1. Blues for the Red Sun. 2. Welcome to Sky Valley. 3. ...and the Circus Leaves Town. 4. Wretch.

1.Blues for the Red Sun 2.Welcome to Sky Valley 3....And the Circus Leaves Town 4.Wretch

Fans of Kyuss should check out Vista Chino. That was basically a reunion of the classic Kyuss lineup minus Josh Homme. Solid album that continued the Kyuss stoner rock sound. Additionally, the Kyuss / Queens Of The Stone Age EP should be required listening as well.

John Garcia was in so many great Stoner bands such as Unida, Slo Burn, Hermano, and much more. John is most definitely one of the most underated voices in rock history. If he was mainstream he would be one of the greats.

I don't know if my story warrants being told twice, but it be what it be. I still remember going into a record store and seeing "Blues for the Red Sun". I had never heard of the band, but the album title was cool, the cover art was cool, and I was pretty sure with a name like Kyuss this wasn't going to be yer mother's blues. I own most everything with John Garcia on vox now. 1. Blues for the Red Sun 2. Welcome to Sky Valley 3. Wretch 4. ...And the Circus Leaves Town

Huge fan of this band. I think nobody does stoner rock/metal like them and just brilliant songwriters. Welcome to sky valley/kyuss is one of my favorite albums of all time and blues for the red sun is also a brilliant record. The rest of the records are solid if not exceptional Ranking Welcome to the sky valley/kyuss Blues for the red sun And the circus leaves town Wretch

Like everyone else, thanks so much for re-making this ranking episode. Appreciate your dedication to your channel's subscribers! Very cool!

Watched and rewatched. Thanks for ranking one of my longtime, since 1993, favorite bands!!

So glad you re recorded video Pete. I really am glad to hear and see the ranking of Kyuss. Love them and yes big stoner rock and doom fan myself too. Have a good week in Boston. Take care Pete.

Not once but twice- aaaggghhh! Thanks for spending valuable time to do this again. Kyuss and their ilk shred!

Great band and my personal introduction into heavy rock. Saw them in Cologne on their last tour in 1995.

Very important band for me, these guys were the first non-mainstream band I ever found. They opened up the floodgates to the underground for me, amazing band. 1. Sky Valley 2. Blues for the Red Sun 3. And the Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch

When I got into Kyuss, ...and the Circus Leaves Town was the album that was out so that was the first one I got, and I loved it despite it being their swan song. But of course my feelings have change don this, Wretch is probably the album I never play, to be honest, but the other three get very regular playings on my turntable 1.Sky Valley 2. Blues for the Red Sun 3. ....and the Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch

Greetings, Pete. Thanks for taking the time to redo this video though the soundless version was entertaining, too. Well, the silver-lining - at least for me - of you having to redo the video was allowing time to go listen to some of the band's catalogue. Only had time for the first two albums but will go back for the other two. The first album did come across a bit raw but that did not diminish its listening enjoyment. Will be curious to see how the last two feel after this. Thanks once more.

Wonderful video Pete. Oh the technology of it all!!

1. Circus & Sky Valley & Red Sun 2. Wretch

Very, very hard to choose between Blues... and ... Sky Valley, they were cooking on those albums, telepathic musicianship from these super talented kids who learned to play together - the secret to real rock greatness. Agree that Wretch gets a bit overlooked, great energy on that one, kinda taking the vibe on Black Flag's Slip It In but getting a really heavy groove going - I always dug it.

Thanks for the ranking Pete. I absolutely love this string of albums. My picks: Sky Valley (an all time fave), Blues, Wretch, Circus.

1) Blues for the Red Sun 2) Welcome to Sky Valley 3) Wretch 4) … And the Circus Leaves Town

1. Welcome to Sky Valley 2. Blues for the Red Sun 3. Wretch 4. ...And the Circus Leaves Town

For me 1. Blues for the Red Sun 2.Sky Valley 3. And The Circus Left Town 4.Wretch

So happy to see Wretch at #2.

Thanks Pete Cheers from The Captain!

Thanks for the ranking. I`ve been a huge Kyuss fan ever since hearing "Green Machine" on WSOU when it first came out. Never heard riffs that thick and heavy before. My ranking: 1. Blues For The Red Sun 2. Sky Valley 3. And The Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch Also going to include a kind of transition album (EP) they put out: Kyuss - Queens Of The Stone Age, which is very cool as well.

Great list. I agree that wretch is just dirty filthy aggressive rock and roll. 1. Blues 2.sky valley 3. Wretch 4. Circus Have you done a discography of Kylesa? That is another group that went from gonzo cultic aggressive metal to hard rock with a lot of great melody. Unfortunately they disbanded a few years ago. I don’t think they had a bad album and they were all quite different from each other. Only issue is the singing which is rough. I like Laura Pleasents’ singing more.

Thanks PETE 👍💯

Thank you so much

Hi Pete sorry you had to do your video again but you always come through for us fans great video i love KYUSS dont know if you have heard of the band TUMBLEWEED out here in Australia but they have a similar sound so if have heard of them great if not have a listen thanks again for all the great Videos Take care Keep ROCKIN

Love Kyuss. All their albums are great. Would like to see a ranking of The Hellacopters

Kyuss is an great band

Glad Pete did this episode - Now SoT needs to do a feature on Orange Goblin!

Finally someone who shares the same ranking I do with the Kyuss Discography! I really don't understand how people like Sky Valley so much. It has some killer moments, don't get me wrong, but it's also a very uneven record that hasn't aged well for me and I seldomly manage to listen to it in one go. Blues for the red sun on the other hand, I can't stop or skip once I've pressed play, and I've been listening to it for close to 25 years...! Definetely in my top 10 favourite records of all time

Groovy Pete! Just bought their 2nd album on your rec. Could you rank Motorpsycho someday? I don't expect it, because of the sheer size of their discography.

My order from least to favorite is Wretch, Blues For The Red Sun, And The Circus Leaves Town, Welcome To Sky Valley

Whether it's in Across The River (1985-'86), The Obsessed (1990-'92), Kyuss (1992-'96), Unida (2003), Goatsnake (2004), Sixty Watt Shaman (2002), Sun and Sail Club (2013-present), or Fireball Ministry (2014-present) Scott Reeder remains one of my favorite bassist's so that will likely influence my top two decisions. Welcome to Sky Valley (1994). ...and the Circus Leaves Town (1995). Blues for the Red Sun (1992). Wretch (1991).

Sorry you had to redo this ranking, but they're such a brilliant band, I'm glad you did. My ranking: 1). Welcome To Sky Valley 2). Blues For The Red Sun 3)...And The Circus Leaves Town 4). Wretch. Also worth having is their Muchos Gracias compilation. I know you're not a big fan of Queens of the Stone Age. I think you re-evaluate them. As brilliant as I think Kyuss was, I think QOTSA is even better. Another post-Kyuss band that is worth listening to is Unida.

Desert band ? Nice 🙂 Love them . They were jam band live , desert , mushrooms , bikes , they said night gigs was legendary .

Switch Wretch and Welcome to Sky Valley and that's my order. Wouldn't say I like Kyuss as much as Queens of the Stone Age, but I see them as more influential.

Wretch at number two? Wow. I think most people would agree the other three are far superior. But all four albums are brilliant. My list 1. Sky Valley 2. Blues For The Red Sun 3. ...And the Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch

Many Stoner bands have used Kyuss song titles for their band name.

Oh sunshine The loving beauty Pass me by Should I waste my time In your valley Beneath your sky? I reco ...Lo Sound Desert. Great watch. 50 Million Year Trip. Best

Kyuss ruled. Also all of the other bands John Garcia did after. His last album Band of Gold is killer

thanks Pete!! I love Kyuss. Absolutely right about some filler, but mostly killer. For me, without the big three from the 90s, there wouldn't be what's considered modern stoner rock. Kyuss Monster Magnet Sleep Maybe a top 10 album review for Monster Magnet? :)

Nice video...

Cool band that I will have to look into. Have a safe and enjoyable trip to Boston. It’s really a great city. I’ve been there 7 times visiting family

Props 👍

Aaayyyeee!!!

Great band. Most important rock band of the nineties. Sorry you had trouble with the audio.

Kyuss did a reunion tour as Kyuss Lives! in 2010 w/ Garcia, Oliveri and Bjork…saw them play on that tour at Terminal 5 in nyc…was very good but not great missing Homme

I came to like stoner/doom/dessert/ psych only about 15 years ago. So when Kuyss played the Dynamo Festival in the mid-'90's i just walked right by. No interest in them at all. I was young..... for me it's: 1. Sky Valley 2. Blues for the red sun I've played those a lot. Brant Bjork on drums rules! 3. Circus leaves town Don't have the first one. I also really like the unreleased second album of Unida (with Garcia). That's one killer album. Tool did a cover of Demon Cleaner.

One inch Man sounds like it belongs on Masters of Reality’s Sunrise On The Sufferbus

If you like Kyuss check out the Swedish Stoner band Dozer.

I'd love to see a QotSA ranking at some point, whenever and if Pete likes them. Not sure he does, I know Ryan S hates them for some reason, lol.

The “Big 3” are all equal. It’s impossible to rank them. BFTRS literally redefined how people viewed heavy rock music. Homme melded Doom metal with Alt rock on that album & forever changed the game. Also, the band was more dangerous & unpredictable with Oliveris volatile punk edge. Reeder is one of the most talented & prodigious bassists to ever live, but he couldn’t replicate nicks hardcore/punk aesthetic. Nevertheless, the band after Scott joined became arguably the greatest & most perfect hard rock unit known to man. It’s impossible to pick. And the Into The Void EP was absolutely freaking iconic

Thank you for your commitment and dedication for re-filming this ranking.

I saw them at a small bar in Ohio in front of a sparse crowd. Holy shit it was loud!

Josh Homme fans should check out Post Pop Depression by Iggy Pop backed by Homme. I'm a Queens freak and 'Millionaire' is my favorite jam in his stellar career.

I flip Wretch and Sky Valley maybe? But I believe it's pronounced Hah-Mee

My favourite is ...and the circus leaves town, maybe because I discovered the band with this album. Sky Valley and Blues are almost equally appreciated but Wretch doesn't give me nothing at all. I'd even prefer the Into the void ep, which is great!

Tangy Sizzle fucking ROCKS!!! It's the best song on the record, and Sky Valley is a fucking total Masterpiece, Odyssey, Demon Cleaner, Supa Scoopa, Whitewater, 100°, all amazing, my favorite. Never really liked Wretch much, Green Machine tho, Wow! Never heard a song like it before when it first came out. There's a lot of filler on Bluses for the Red Sun also.

Damn man. How did you aquire such a vast knowledge for music? How did you find the music? I'm just asking cause I love exploring music but I just don't know how to find it

I've always mentally pronounced Kyuss as one syllable KYOOS (rhymes with noose) instead of KI-us. But I've never talked to anybody who knew who they were.

Do you like the band Electric Wizard?

Not related to the video, but who would you take in a battle Uriah Heep or UFO?

Rank Melvins next! You, um, DO like Melvins, right?!

Fu Manchu next ??

Blues > Sky > Circus > Wretch

I still don't have audio

I'm surprised to see Wretch so high. It is great but I put Circus higher. For me Size Queen is the moment I crank the CD even louder and put my cheap car speakers to the test all the way through Spaceship Landing.

All about Sky Valley for me in regards to Kyuss…my old friend Catherine Enny managed their career early on…the other three records are mostly meh for me overall, IMHO Homme would go onto bigger and better things before long

Look on the bright side. Imagine having to redo the massive Tom Petty ranking twice. 😬😬

Best to "worst" for me: 1. Sky Valley 2. Blues for the Red Sun 3. And the Circus Leaves Town 4. Wretch (the only one I don't like)

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Go back to Styx.

I love the production on Circus, it's one the best sounding albums I've ever heard. It sweeps me away. Almost completely agree with your song favourites and duds.
