10 Bands That Never Made A Bad Album

10. Queens of the Stone Age

After coming out of the ashes of Kyuss, Josh Homme never really wanted to go back to the same stoner rock well again and again. From the minute that Queens of the Stone Age was formed, this was a band that was meant to be almost fluid in nature, like a jam session being comprised of all of Homme's friends making music for fun. Ever since their debut though, they actually turned into a pretty stable band along the way.

While Homme's voice is the real signature of the project, every single one of the band's albums seems to have its own unique character, with the first one being most indebted to the stoner rock sound of Kyuss. Once Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan were brought in though, the sound of songs off of Rated R and Songs for the Deaf had a lot more grit behind them, trading in the doomy riffs for some of the most visceral rock and roll you have ever heard. Even when Oliveri left the fold though, Josh had enough confidence to keep everything moving full speed ahead.

No longer wanting to stay only in the field of conventional rock, every Queens albums since Songs for the Deaf has had its own unique character, like the robot rock stylings of Era Vulgaris, the nonstop party of Villains, and meditating on your own mortality on Like Clockwork. With years of experience, Homme seemed to learn that you only get to do this rock star gig once, so you may as well do what you want whenever you can.
