Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensr˙che

In a career that has spanned nearly three decades, Queensr˙che has released 20 albums and toured relentlessly.

In doing so, it has been a long-time favorite of both headbangers and fans of more operatic music.

Some people might know this band only from its biggest chart hit "Silent Lucidity," but Queensr˙che was around long before that and shows no sign of slowing down. Frontman Geoff Tate and company recently announced that a new album is in the works.

In San Francisco on yet another tour, the band stopped by MP3.com to play a short set, including "The Killing Words" from the 1986 album Rage for Order, "Eyes of a Stranger" from its 1988 breakthrough Operation: Mindcrime, and "The Hands" from Operation: Mindcrime II.

The quintet also threw in a cover of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Almost Cut My Hair" from their 2007 covers album, Take Cover.
