Why I love.. Queens of The Stone Age

Fuzzed out stoner rock with a retro feel that exemplifies everything from early psychedelia, to blues, to metal, to soaring pop hooks.  Josh Homme and co. have such a tight sound too. All in all a very peculiar and amazing band. Not all of the albums feel that solid to me, but they have so many good songs.  And the albums that hold up well on the whole are some of the best albums i have ever had the pleasure of listening to.
