Them Crooked Vultures

Who were the big new bands in each year?

There have been vanity projects, weird detours and huge disappointments – but also some of the best LPs of the succeeding eras.

For the past two years, Josh Homme has kept his focus on Them Crooked Vultures, his supergroup with Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones. But next month, the guitarist will get back to work with his main act, Queens of the Stone Age. The band will hit the studio to start work on their sixth disc, the follow-up to 2007's Era Vulgaris.
