Queens Of The Stone Age

A pretty reliable band of stylish music lovers. They don't excite me greatly but they have made some of the best songs ever.

Probably the best band of the 21st century. So many quality albums and very rarely do they go amiss with any song

My personal 'QOTSA' ranking albums :

1- ...Like Clockwork (2013) => 80.50
2- Songs for the Deaf (2002) => 78.10
3- Lullabies to Paralyze (2005) => 77.70
4- In Times New Roman… (2023) => 77.50
5- Rated R (2000) => 76.80
6- Villains (2017) => 74.40
7- Queens of the Stone Age (1998) => 74.10

This band is extremely varied, yet not at all at the same time. Each album switches thier sound up a degree but you can always tell it's them. If you haven't listened to them beforew I'd recommend starting with Songs For the Deaf then Going to Era Vulgaris, just so you can see how different they get. The former is a darker guitar driven rock album with great melodies, then Era Vulgaris is just sort of an oddball soundscape and it's great

1. ... Like Clockwork
2. Songs for the Deaf
3. Era Vulgaris
4. Lullabies to Paralyze
5. Rated R
6. Queens of the Stone Age
7. Villains

Easily my favorite band.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

My favorite artist of the 21st century definitely. There music is unqiue, and heavy, and they always experiment with something new on each album.

My biggest musical obsession of 2013. All 6 of their albums thus far are great.
