10 Best Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Songs Of 2017 (So Far)

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

Speaking of groovy things, you can tell QOTSA's Josh Homme wanted to write a riff that would command a whole festival audience to reach for the sky. Partly down to tapping back into Era Vulgaris-style composition and his time spent in Them Crooked Vultures, there's an old school, almost 70s rock vibe to the Zeppelin-esque opening on The Way You Used To Do.

Like all the best QOTSA tracks, it's appeal is letting Homme's slicked back hair n' cigar smoke cool wash over you, the general feel of the track keeping a steady pace throughout.

You can tell this is made to emerge from the darkness in the middle of a gig; the perfect tone-setter that encapsulates precisely why Queens of the Stone Age will always draw ginormous crowds.
