Ooo yeah
I LOVE a bit of Stoner rock (would Dead Meadow count or is that a little light?)
Recommendations welcome!
I like Dead Meadow cept the songs are all the same.
and yes Dead Meadow would definitely qualify in my opinion.
what he said ^
plus some Kyuss, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Cathedral, Orange Goblin and the first 4 Black Sabbath albums to see where it all comes from..
All the Sabbath records
...up to Sabotage.
A couple of awesome British groups.
Hey Colossus
The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers
K Y U S S
obvious much, sorry.
At a push see also
Karma to Burn, Orange Gobline, Slo-Burn, Brant Bjork (with or without the bros), Dozer....I may return with better ones.
I am a clot
there is clearly no e in goblin.
Boris
!
Has to be Dead Meadow - Feathers
Really good hazey album. I try Black Mountain's Into the Future as well.
YES YES YES
in regards to Elfrim's post. Feathers is brilliant. If you ever get a chance to see Dead Meadow live as well I heartily recommend it!
what are dead meadow like?
they're playing end of the road i think and I wanna know what to expect.
Cool
fucking cool
sludgy rock but not in a crappy way.
kind of a sludgy Creedence Clearwater
worth checking out, I not sold on them yet though.
Lgordon
you MUST see Dead Meadow - live they are a force to be reckoned with! Really f**king good! I didn't know they were playing - I might definitely have to show for that! If you catch 'em I'll be the midget dancing her ass off..
I agree: BORIS
!
Harvey Milk
Dunno if they count as stoner rock, exactly...
If they don't it doesn't matter
they are good.
Not good
FUCKING AWESOME :D
Just bought Melvins tickets
they are playing in Yellowstone Valley Brewing in Billings, Montana- a tiny venue- I can't beleive my luck.
Anything by Spirit Caravan
Stoner in a Black Sabbath way
Black Angels
Bardo Pond
Spacemen3/Spiritualized
Black Mountain
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Keys (lots of "black" bands!)
Crystal Antlers
Retribution Gospel Choir
.
www.myspace.com/mothertrucker
Sleep
Kyuss
Bullhead by Melvins
Fu Manchu
Monster Magnet
Unida
Slo Burn
Valiant Thorr
Saw them at download, a great, fun band to watch. Sort of MC5 meets Fu Manchu meets old school metal.
http://www.myspace.com/valientthorr
Most
Of the best one's have been mentioned, but may I add:
Comets on Fire
Clutch
Solace
Unida
Goatsnake
...and you could just go to stonerrock.com and pillage their jukebox. You'll have to wade through a halluva lot of sub-Sabbath balls though, but the gems are more than worth it.
Back to the 80's
you got to try a bit of...
Loop
Om
Om
Om
Om
Dudes - show some love for the UK
Orange Goblin
Electric Wizard
Cathedral
Moss
Hangnail
and everything else on Rise Above Records
but mainly Orange Goblin
yeah.....kyuss
or Helmet
Kyuss
Masters of Reality
but also surprised no one has mentioned Monster Magnet, they def have their moments!
I believe they did get mentioned
somewhere on here, but more than worth a couple more recommendations.
Get 'Dopes to Infinity' or 'Superjudge.' Or 'Spine of God.' All class.
yep!
sorry my mistake just noticed they indeed have been mentioned. I like Powertrip and God Says No albums too.
big business
Big business
are class, grounds for divorce is some tune
Fu Manchu
"In Search Of" is immense
"The Action is Go" is good too.
ooh and Kyuss
Circus Leaves Town
Sleep
Awesome choices so far
I thought Moss were more of a Dooooom band but I guess they could fall under the stoner umbrella too.
I'd also recommend
Humanfly
Sons Of Alpa Centauri
and Gentlemens Pistols
Nebula
The Heads
Weedeater
Bongzilla
Birds of Maya
Blue Cheer
Colour Haze
Lesbian
Capricorns
Stinking Lizaveta
Most of what has already been mentioned
add Karp to the list as well
Glad you mentioned Weedeater
totally boss
I always mention
Weedeater in these stoner rock threads but it's only cause they are the schiznit.
Dobermann!
They're awesome.
Definitely Clutch!
Kyuss
Gonga
Puny Human

Its a crime
that no one has said Hawkwind. They practically invented the genre.
GET SPACE RITUAL
NOW
Eternal Elysium
and Greenmachine are worth a looksee.
Eternal Elysium have an interesting cover of Maiden's Innocent Exile too.
Roadsaw's Nationwide album is a stormer as well.
I second Masters Of Reality. Blue Garden has some great desert rock sounding songs. Criminal that Chris Goss' contribution to that sound is sometimes overlooked.
^ Agreed
Though I've always prefered Sunrise on the Sufferbus. It's not really stoner but still.
Cheers guys
As most of the good ones have been said
I'm gonna recommend a local band I know called Jecano. They're fucking awesome.
http://www.myspace.com/jecano
The
Mars Volta are a bit stoner rock.
^^
Okay I take that back, I'm sorry.
