Episode 213: The Queens of the Stone Age Discography, featuring Sammy Sanchez
Very pleased to welcome Sammy Sanchez back in to the podcast studio for another exciting look at an artist's discography, and this time -- for Episode No. 213 -- we dove in to the Queens of the Stone Age catalog.
If you've not caught previous episodes with Sammy, you can check him out on Episode Nos 44 (first appearance), 66 (Tom Waits), 88 (Beck), 113 (Radiohead), and 187 (King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard). And if you wanna know how that train got rollin', check out Episode No. 30 with his dad, Caesar, which was also a fun time.
Queens of the Stone Age has eight records to date, each one different than the previous. They are:
self-titled (1998)
2000's Rated R
Songs for the Deaf (2002)
Lullabies to Paralyze (2005)
2007's Era Vulgaris
...Like Clockwork (2013)
Villains from 2017
2023's In Times New Roman...
Sammy and I talked about a bunch of stuff across this chat, and beyond QotSA albums, we touched on Pink Floyd, the World Cup, the ever-awesome Phil Collins, and more.
In this case, more means a bunch of different things, but I'd like to focus specifically on his growing local empire of trivia nights, which has sprung from once a week to Sunday-Thursday affairs, all in different locations. Follow Sammy on Instagram at @sammysanchez1123 and peep his bio to see the spots.
Always grateful for Sammy's time and insight. Couldn't do this series without him.
