GROOVY sTONER rOCK PLEASE
you know, i like Kyuss. You know, i really like them. But what other bands are worth considering in the not one chord dirges about the dark arts category of stoner rock? Bands with a bit of vip, a bit of zazz, a bit of oosh. Also, records by said bands
Fu Manchu, Unida that sort of thing

Bumsnogger
New High On Fire is pretty cool
I think all the other stoner rock stuff I like is either too doomy or stuff you'll already have heard of.
i've heard of stuff, but not really explored
any recommendations are welcome
well, I take it you've heard of Boris,
but Heavy Rocks is awesome, and great fun. The most straight up rock they've ever been. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Caiqd13u8&feature=related
Goatsnake are another one I'd recommend, they may include Sunn O)))'s Greg Anderson, but they're suprisingly upbeat and groovey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Fv5gJJAqo
And the new Motorpsycho. Heavy Metal Fruits is one of my favourite albums released so far this year. Not as heavy as the others though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoBNBBo05oA
Dead Meadow
Black Math Horseman

Did you see Dom's article on the Bardo Pond re-issue?
would submit them as well, though maybe more space rock etc etc
maybe
Dark Castle. Two-piece Florida sludge band. Their album from last year is called Spirited Migration. They're doing a tour with Kylesa, but they're slower than that. Electric Wizard styled cool tricked out riffs and twin vocals. you might like.

Couple of heavier options:
The Sword - The Sword
Pretty much Stoner/Sludge meets Heavy Mithril. Massive tunes, seismic riffs, hilarious lyrics.
Baroness - Red Album/Blue Record
Proper amazing. All I can really say.
I'll second Baroness
And add in Torche
Fuck Baroness...
The Sword are amazing.
P.s I really like Baroness I just LOVE The Sword.
Yah The Sword
are wicked good.
What about the classics?
Sir Lord Baltimore are ace if you're a sabbath fan.
you might dig weedeater
id also recommend church of misery, blood ceremony, saviours, anything Wino has been involved in (st vitus/hidden hand/obsessed/spirit caravan/shrinebuilder etc), pentagram
Also...
I made this a while back with all the slightly more random stoner / doom I used to listen to when I was younger.

Bongzilla!
ultra groovy and totally stoned.
Sleep
(Basically sound a bit like Sabbath...)
The Heads
they're a little more "driving" rock at the moment but "Undersided" was psych/stoner masterpiece.
http://www.myspace.com/theheadsrock
new Moon Duo album?
It's the dude from Wooden Shjips
Ohhhh
What about White Hills?
http://www.myspace.com/whitehills
Touring w/ Pontiak atm, also a good shout.
http://www.myspace.com/pontiak
saw them both last night.
AWESOME
who the fuck tagged micropenis?
they are utterly the worst band ever.
i am angered
it was perfectly good tagging up until that point.
Clutch. Lots of Clutch.
Sixty Watt Shamen
Solace
Truckfighters
Sorry, I forgot the records
Clutch - Blast Tyrant, Elephant Riders or Pure Rock Fury.
Solace - 13
Sixty Watt Shamen - Seed of Decades
Truckfighters - Gravity X
Also Karma to Burn - Wild Wonderful Purgatory and Almost Heathen.
For some sun-kissed Kyuss-esque blissed-out stoner doom, UK style...
... you need the late 90s Rise Above Records unholy trinity:
Ten Days Before Summer - HANGNAIL
Frequencies From Planet Ten - ORANGE GOBLIN
Sally - SALLY
HUUGY BEAR, OH YEAH!!!
