Complete List Of Queens Of The Stone Age Songs From A to Z

Queens of the Stone Age formed in Palm Desert, California in 1996, founded by guitarist and vocalist Josh Homme after the dissolution of his previous band Kyuss. Homme established the group with a rotating lineup of musicians, beginning with Alfredo Hernández, who had also played with Kyuss. The band’s musical approach was described by Homme as “robot rock,” characterized by repetitive, precise riffing and arrangements. Their connection to the Palm Desert scene was instrumental in their formation, with the area’s generator parties—outdoor gatherings powered by generators where desert bands would perform—providing the cultural backdrop for their emergence.

The band released their self-titled debut album in 1998 on Loosegroove Records, establishing their sound before signing with Interscope Records. Their second album “Rated R” (2000) increased their visibility with singles like “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret” and the controversial “Feel Good Hit of the Summer,” which explicitly listed various substances in its lyrics. The 2002 album “Songs for the Deaf” marked their commercial breakthrough, featuring Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums and producing hit singles “No One Knows” and “Go With the Flow.” This album achieved platinum certification in several countries and firmly established the band in mainstream rock.

Queens of the Stone Age have released seven studio albums in total: their self-titled debut (1998), “Rated R” (2000), “Songs for the Deaf” (2002), “Lullabies to Paralyze” (2005), “Era Vulgaris” (2007), “…Like Clockwork” (2013), “Villains” (2017), and most recently “In Times New Roman…” (2023). Their sixth album “…Like Clockwork” became their first to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart and was created during a particularly difficult period for Homme, who experienced complications during routine knee surgery that led to a near-death experience and months of bedridden recovery. Other successful singles throughout their career have included “Little Sister,” “Make It Wit Chu,” and “The Way You Used To Do,” which have helped maintain their presence on rock radio.

The band’s lineup has undergone numerous changes throughout their history, functioning with Homme as the sole consistent member. Notable participants have included bassist Nick Oliveri (who was fired in 2004), Mark Lanegan (formerly of Screaming Trees), Troy Van Leeuwen (A Perfect Circle), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Joey Castillo (Danzig), Dean Fertita (The Dead Weather), Michael Shuman (Mini Mansions), and Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta). Despite critical acclaim and commercial success, the band has received nine Grammy Award nominations without winning, including Best Hard Rock Performance for “No One Knows” and Best Rock Album for “…Like Clockwork.”

Beyond Queens of the Stone Age, Homme has maintained several notable side projects. The Desert Sessions, which began in 1997, feature collaborative recordings with various musicians at Rancho De La Luna studio in Joshua Tree, California. Homme has also produced albums for other artists including Arctic Monkeys’ “Humbug” and Iggy Pop’s “Post Pop Depression,” the latter of which he also co-wrote and performed on. In 2009, he formed the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, releasing one self-titled album. On the personal front, Homme has experienced significant challenges, including a contentious custody battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle and a cancer diagnosis in 2021, which he later revealed he had overcome.

Queens of the Stone Age have built a reputation for their distinctive sound that combines elements of stoner rock, alternative rock, and hard rock, characterized by heavy riffs, Homme’s baritone vocals, and complex rhythmic structures. Their live performances have been noted for their intensity and musical precision. Despite fluctuations in lineup and personal difficulties, the band has maintained a consistent output of critically respected material across nearly three decades, continuing to tour internationally and release new music that builds on their established sound while incorporating new elements. Their ongoing appeal demonstrates their significance within contemporary rock music as a band that has successfully balanced artistic credibility with commercial viability.
