20. Kyuss – Sky Valley (1994)


This band is classified as stoner metal, and they apparently took the name Kyuss from a Dungeons and Dragons character. That is enough for me to like them, but this is one of my favorite albums. The version that I have is only 4 tracks, even though there are ten songs. This is to encourage you to listen to it as a whole, rather than playing songs individually. I wish more artists would do that. Some songs are so much better when heard with their companions. The flow that this album has is exactly what I am talking about. This album has all the goodness of Queens of the Stone Age, with a 1994 attitude. You will enjoy.

Note: I saw Tool a few years ago and they covered the song Demon Cleaner. I hope that you are one day lucky enough to see Tool cover your favorite Kyuss song. This song is also in one of the Guitar Hero Games, if you care.
