2.Them Crooked Vultures (2009)- Ooooh, let's do a supergroup today! When Kurt Cobain's untimely demise brought about the end of iconic Grunge band Nirvana, things weren't looking up for the world of rock.. Fortunately, drummer Dave Grohl went on to form Foo Fighters, who have done pretty well for themselves over the last decade or so. Apparently Krist Novoselic did something too, but nobody cared.
Then, Dave decided to go back to drumming, but not just with anyone- having recorded with Josh Homme, guitarist and vocals of Queens Of The Stone Age, on their album Songs For The Deaf, he enlisted Josh, and a certain someone you may have heard of- John Paul Jones, bassist for Led Zeppelin. The result is an album jam-packed with catchy riffs, funky beats, and everything you could expect from such veterans.
Highlights include: Mind Eraser; No Chaser, Elephants, and Dead End Friends.
Ben's verdict:
I just hope their next album is as good and they don't fall victim to the "Supergroups Are Always Crap" curse...
