EV has some great songs but cmon it’s nowhere near their best. SftD, LtP, Rated R, and LC are pretty obviously the albums that make this band as special as they are and some of the most innovative rock music in decades. I think you'd be hard pressed to make a case for a different band in the past 25 years being the closest thing the music world has to a modern Led Zeppelin.

"some of the most innovative rock music in"



wrong decade

Album Rating: 3.5

Willie please listen to Songs For The Deaf and …Like Clockwork first

I’m excited to check this tomorrow but those two are classics

Album Rating: 3.5

I don't know what the right band comp would be, but I do agree with Talons in the sense that these guys are carrying the torch for modern rock



(nothing against the Foo, but I don't think they've quite earned a seat at the table thanks to a bunch of mediocre releases in between the few that are actually great)

Album Rating: 3.0

Like Clockwork is a little overrated



There, I said it



Rated R and Songs for the Deaf are their peak

Album Rating: 3.0

these guys are definitely carrying that torch, but the lack of serious competition alone renders the Zeppelin comparison pretty moot - entirely different ballpark/market/fanbase/whatever



and the implication that they got there by 'innovation' is both hilarious in itself and an injustice to the things they are genuinely pretty good at



Rated R was a decent pick n mix album where Homme learnt to write rock songs that weren't pure guitar worship, but not much more. SFTD is the only correct answer for best QOTSA and LC can enjoy an honourable section place

Album Rating: 3.0

I like all their albums besides Villains. LC is overrated, EV is underrated but agreed, not the best. Rated R holds huge nostalgic value, has some absolute bangers but has some filler. SFTD is the most solid. Favourite changes depending on mood but its never Lullabies.

Album Rating: 3.5

The lack of competition is 100% a fair point. Rock - or at least mainstream rock - hasn't had many heavyweights for...uh...most of my life lol.



Songs for the Deaf and ...Like Clockwork are my two favorites from these guys, but I think I actually slightly prefer LC. Lots of nostalgia attached to that one whereas SFTD was just before my music listening prime.

Album Rating: 1.0

I’ve tried listening to like clockwork in full about 7 times and never made it through once. And don’t ask me how a single song goes.

QotSA definitely have moments of innovation and being unique but yeah the modern Zep label is more a comment on the state of modern rock music not really having that.

We all know Maneskin is the modern Zep

Wolfmother vs GVF

singles from this are miiiiiiiid

Homme should just give up and do an album of Elvis covers tbh

Album Rating: 3.0

based on the singles i'd be honestly shocked if this is any higher or any lower than a 3, but we'll see

Album Rating: 3.5

On first listen carnavouyer and emotion sickness sounded kinda mid to me as well, but a few listens later they do grow on you. So does most of the album tbh. It's a very fun and serviceable collection of rock tracks, with nothing particularly outstanding, but nothing as plain and snooze inducing as some of the tracks on Villains.

"Rated R was a decent pick n mix album where Homme learnt to write rock songs that weren't pure guitar worship, but not much more. SFTD is the only correct answer for best QOTSA and LC can enjoy an honourable section place "

Most I've ever agreed with a Johnny comment.
