10 Best Indie/Alternative Songs Of 2017 (So Far)

10. The Way You Used To Do - Queens Of The Stone Age

The first track released in anticipation of the band's upcoming Villains album, The Way You Used To Do introduces a funk element to the Californian rockers expanding repertoire.

As much as anything else, it possibly serves as a teaser of things to come from one of the cornerstones of twenty first century rock. Lead singer Josh Homme has recruited producer to the stars Mark Ronson to handle the production, and his fingerprints are evident throughout this uptempo rocker.

The track is a departure from the more solemn, introspective approach of its predecessor, the quite extraordinary Like Clockwork album, released in 2013. If The Way You Used To Do is anything to go by, it would seem that the Queens are not looking to replicate that formula with Villains.
