Point Me In The Direction Of Great Stoner Rock
I already got Sleep / Kyuss / Karma to Burn / Gas Giant / Fu Manchu bases covered.
Anymore for anymore? I can listen to it and pretend I'm driving through the Arizona desert smoking a fattie in a convertable rather than working in a freezing windowless office in a grey London.

When you say you've got the Kyuss base covered
does that include the post Kyuss projects liek Che, Unida, Slo Burn, Hermano and Brant Bjorks solo stuff? If not, it should.
Personally I prefer riffs to sludge and off the top of my head I can heartily recommend:
Clutch
Sixty Watt Shamen
Solace
Roachpowder
The Sword
THE SWORD cannot be associated with GREAT STONER ROCK. Get out of here.
Oh, and of course Monster Magnet
Dopes to Infinity is essential.
Anything on the Rise Above in the late 90s.
Before the label became concerned with doom or dusting down old obscure prog, they released nothing but good quality stoner rock. In particular
- the first two Orange Goblin records (FFPT and TTB - which can be bought as a cheapo double CD)
- Sally
- Hangnail
Huggy bear oh yeaaaah!
yeah

Wow, Sep 09?
Good fine, cheers!
electric wizard
and torche i guess
The new Bongripper album
Is superb. Disgusting, down-tuned instrumental stuff. Can't really go wrong with an album consisting of four 10+ minute tracks called Hail, Satan, Worship and Doom.
Wicked
P.S. Tweak Bird rule too...
Ufomammut
Only heard Snailking but it's good.
acid king & suplecs & warhorse & all the post kyuss stuff
dunno if it qualifies but
swervedriver
I presume you already know Masters of Reality
and a little known band called Queens of the Stone Age.
Listening to
Bongzilla - Gateway at the moment. Sounds pretty good so far.
cool
I love the vocals on that album. the groove is swinging too.
JAG
thought this would be the best place to put this..
we've just released our new single for free here -
http://bydefinition.bandcamp.com
Stoner Metal ala Clutch, COC, Down..
I do like this
Weedeater
The Disappears.
Seek out the original demos for Sgt. Sunshine. Uber-Geigh name, but smoking deep fuzz with rich grooves. Their releases spawned from this original masterpiece and they ruined some underground classic tracks by polishing them up, and mixing the vox completely wrong.
Seems the bases have been covered with the classic stuff (Spine of God, Kyuss, Fu, Sleep).
Pontiak is another that jams out
White Hills
Bong (homegrown talent)
Lots of stuff signed to Thrill Jockey
Try
The debut album by Gonga.
was going to mention Gonga, but the vocals (Joe Volk) are irritating after a few spins. I guess the one solid band that could be spawned from the mention of Gonga could be The Heads.
The genre has become so blurred..used to decribe the southern cali fuzzed out, downtuned goodness, but now you see bands like Weedeater (horrid shit, btw), High on Fire and even hardcore and sludge bands lumped into it.
Bardo Pond
The Reads..
i'm not sure they can just be labeled as 'rock' but they make a great sound track to a recreational smoking session. I caught their album launch in Chester last month and i've been championing them ever since. the album was produced by a guy called Jim Spencer who has worked alot with the Charalatans and New Order, and its a really varried well written album.. i've been calling it this years best kept secret, but i don't think it will be much longer.
light up and listen
