this rock band just goes with the flow
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
Queens of the Stone Age songs
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful songs
kaolin guitars layered instrumentation
haunting vocals and great songwriting
are the order of the day
and if you weren’t a fan before you
probably will be after you check out a
few of these songs
number ten smooth sailing
way up smooth sailing is a raunchy
groovy rock song with an infectious riff
and josh homme ease manic falsetto in
full effect
with Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo
Fighters fame on the drum kit for the
first time since 2000 songs for the Deaf
the band Swagger’s through the song with
unshakeable confidence
kings of your
listen up for Josh’s solo after the
second verse a twisted bluesy romp that
sounds like the musical equivalent of a
shot of tequila and a camel blue smooth
is right
number nine first it giveth
this rocker off the breakthrough concept
album songs for the Deaf is an intense
piece striking a middle ground between
the radio friendliness of the album’s
other two singles and the heavier
direction many of the other songs take
it focuses on the impact drugs have on
the songwriting process
inspired by a Bible quotation the hard
rock and stoner track reached the UK top
40 and was accompanied by a music video
memorable for showcasing Nicola Very’s
nude bass playing
number eight six six six
era vulgaris remains the most critically
polarizing record Queens has released
because it’s by far their most
experimental
six-six-six is the second track off the
album and it is a monster
dirty distorted and mean it features ha
me and second guitarist Troy Van Lewin
slamming away at a riff fuzzier and
dirtier than the carpet of a New Jersey
Motel 6
mommy spits flirtatious venom into the
microphone weaving a tale of lust that’s
so so wrong but feels so so right
number seven Mexico ‘la
Mexico LA is a fan favorite from the
band’s debut album
performed in the Mammoth’s sounding sea
standard tuning that Josh so often
employed while a member of influential
stoner rock band Caius this song is a
blast of withering desert heat
the rhythm is relentless and Josh’s
voice sails right over the top of it all
riding the riff instead of competing
women
mommy named this style robot rock
expressing the desire to make their
music instantly recognizable seems like
he did a great job
number six better living through
chemistry
is there
rated-r was the beginning of a clear sky
list except eration from caius Josh’s
previous band featuring a much fuller
lineup than the first album things take
a turn for the bizarre as soon as you
hit the play button
better living through chemistry is a
sprawling echoey affair held together by
Nick Oliveri thundering bass
at turns driven at others melancholy and
wandering it’s somehow manages to feel
heavy and airy at the same time a
combination that is to this day
perplexing and hypnotic
number five I appear missing
though like clockwork isn’t the heaviest
album Queens has recorded it’s the most
thumb attic by far
I appear missing is the records
penultimate track and it’s the wreckage
that follows in the wake of the
debauchery of smooth sailing
the song Lopes a wounded soul pressing
on through some immense hardship
trembling under the weight of depression
and loss
the tension builds and builds
culminating in a soaring guitar solo and
a pained vocal refrain before segwaying
right into the dark final track
true
number four the lost art of keeping a
secret with bouncy descending verses and
big crunchy choruses the lost art of
keeping a secret became Queens most
well-known song upon release and for
good reason
it earned radio airplay through its
catchy and sexy sound but it’s the
bizarre accents that made it a Queens of
the Stone Age song
muted punky rhythm guitars and a whole
host of strange instruments below and
above make for an infectious and
unforgettable tune perfect for any acid
tripping secret agent
number three little sister
many fans this was their first
introduction to the world of Queens of
the Stone Age
it sees Josh haami embracing his punk
rock roots and leading the band in a
one-take recording that’s packed to the
gills with gnarly guitar tone and the
most important element of all cowbells
all right so a jam block was actually
used for the studio recording but the
cowbell since been incorporated into
live shows following an SNL performance
little sister is hard-hitting and
fast-paced making it an
adrenaline-filled ride from beginning to
end
this day the song is a life staple and
never fails to get the crowd dancing
along
number two go with the flow
go with the flow is possibly the single
most radio-friendly song Queens has ever
produced
it’s a deceptively simple tune relying
on one cord for the majority of its
running time
what makes it so great is the layering
of instruments every single one
performing a small but necessary part in
creating what may well be the best
driving song the 21st century has
produced thus far
it was nominated for a Grammy and is of
course a staple of the Bands live shows
before we unveil our number-one spot
here are a few honorable mentions
get it down
sure
time
number one no one knows if you’re a
Queens fan then the song that takes top
honors likely comes as no surprise to
you
no one knows is undeniable it’s catchy
sexy complex and it’s flat-out rocks
crunchy guitar riffs jabbing in over
Nikolov Aries unstoppable freight train
bass playing and Dave girls drums melt
together into a rhythm so primal and
groovy that it practically shakes your
hips for you
both a live show constant and a radio
repeat the grammy-nominated no one knows
is everything that makes the band so
fantastic boil down into one song

get lost in some sweaty desert rock yet
