Originally formed under the name Gamma Ray by guitarist Josh Homme after the breakup of his previous band, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head". The band is sometimes described as stoner rock, although they reject the term. Their sound has since evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences. must hear tracks: No One Knows haWVIaslEOs Song For The Dead V9QeIxwfBes Feel Good Hit Of The Summer EOzBkMn-tPs must have album: Rated R http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Queens_R.jpg Rated R also called R is the second album by the American hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age.

June 20, 200916 yr I haven't heard much of them, obviously 'No One Knows', but who hasn't heard that tbh! They're a band that I've always to get into, but never really have for some reason. I haven't heard Rated R, but I've got Era Vulgaris - absolutely love '3's & 7's' and 'I'm Designer'. :wub:
