Josh Homme, the frontman of the American rock band Queens of the Stone Age, has named Björk's 2001 album 'Homogenic' as one of his nine favorite albums of all time. Queens of the Stone Age is scheduled to perform in Iceland for a special concert in Laugardalshöll this autumn.

The music publication Far Out compiled a list of Homme's top nine albums, which features 'Homogenic' alongside punk records from Black Flag and GBH, Nirvana's debut album, and works by Iggy Pop, Can, and Ween. 'Homogenic,' Björk's third album, is described as having a diverse and electronic soundscape.

Homme is known for his eclectic musical taste, often expressing his ability to enjoy a wide range of genres, from Britney Spears' pop hit 'Toxic' to raw punk. He believes musicians should not limit their taste by genre or preconceived notions. His first significant musical love was American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, whose album 'Running on Empty' deeply influenced him at the age of eight.

Homogenic is one of the nine best albums of all time.
