10 Rock Bands That Never Made A Bad Album
3. Queens of the Stone Age
By the time that the stoner rock act Kyuss had dissolved in the 90's, guitarist Josh Homme was truly on a musical quest. Putting together Queens of the Stone Age, Homme was determined to create music that was in a perpetual state of change. Though there have been plenty of shakeups in the band's sound over the years, it's clear that Homme's visions knows no missteps.
While starting on familiar territory with the band's self-titled debut, Homme quickly started to integrate new sounds into the mix, from the sultry mixes on Rated R to the blown out sounds of Songs for the Deaf.
Part of the reason why QOTSA's sound has remained fresh over the years has come from Homme's collaborations with other artists, with many of the albums being a revolving door of musicians from Dave Grohl to Trent Reznor to even Elton John.
Across every single release, there has never been a dull moment across the band's catalog, with songs that make you want to dance, headbang, or both at the same time.
Homme may be adamant about switching up the band's sound with every other project, but when each album is a different brand of awesome, is that really a bad thing?
