QR III is a studio album released by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot. The name of this recording is short for "Quiet Riot III", and was released in 1986. Despite the title, this is actually the band's fifth album; however it was on their third major label/released-outside-Japan album. Following the massive success of Metal Health and the more modest reception of Condition Critical (which failed to duplicate Metal Healths success, but at least did go top 20 and receive a platinum certification), QRIII represents Quiet Riots final plunge away from stardom. The album only reached #32 on the US charts and has yet to achieve any certification at all.

The lead single, The Wild And The Young...Y-Y-Young Young Young, is a stadium hymn to the energy of youth and its accompanying video painted an Orwellian picture of a future, where totalitarian militarists fought to wipe out rock'n'roll, a reference to the current Senate hearings concerning explicit language in heavy metal songs.
