All the wheels were spinning on Queens of the Stone Age’s self-titled firecracker. The spider-legged guitar lead on "Regular John." The gnarled, noise-rock churn of "Walkin' on the Sidewalks." The effortless catchiness of songs like "How to Handle a Rope" and "If Only." These are the building blocks of QOTSA's iconic sound, and while Josh Homme would wield them in more adventurous ways on future releases, his 1998 opening salvo is not to be skipped over. This is the starting point.
