Stoner Rock
My knowledge of the genre is a bit limited, but I like some of the originals from Kyuss through Nebula/QOTSA, but I've never managed to get a handle of what some of the best of this genre (roughly is.)
I've started a playlist <a href="http://open.spotify.com/user/schteeeeve/playlist/0F47MOTUXPX2hC9VkBtZPr">here</a>;. Feel free to help me out compile a playlist of awesome Stoner ish rock, or suggest them here and I'll stick them in the list.

Eyeless Gaze All Eye / Don't Tell The Riverman from the album Feathers by Dead Meadow
...or basically any Dead Meadow song
Howls From the Hills
is the Dead Meadow album to get if you want to hear someone perfectly nailing Jimmy Page's Presence-era guitar sound, it's pretty neat.
Stoner rock is probably the genre with the highest shit-to-gem ratio
But that said, I'd recommend
Acrimony: Tumuli Shroomaroom
Church of Misery: The Second Coming
High Rise: Destination (The Best of High Rise)
Melvins: Hostile Ambient Takeover
Monster Magnet: self-titled EP
F-i: Space Mantra
Loop: A Gilded Eternity
Circle: Sunrise
Good call on Circle
Truckfighters!
The Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound album Ekranoplan is awesome, and Earthless' Sonic Prayer rules also.
My mate just got into Truckfighters
so i started checking them out as well.
it does funny things to my downstairs parts and my heart.
I dun like Kyuss or QOTSA
but I like the "Black" bands: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Black Mountain, Black Angels...
You have great taste!
Torche's 'Neanderthal'
Here's a little taster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxi_elo3BFc
*Meanderthal
Fu Manchu
Goatsnake
grand magus
Hermano (singer from Kyuss band)
Orange Goblin
Eyehategod
Monster Magnet
Lost Coves

Master of Reality by Black Sabbath
Not stoner rock per se, but a fucking classic that formed the blueprint for bands like Kyuss.
It's a jag
but this only got put up last night (and as a free download).
http://thebluescreenofdeath.bandcamp.com/track/widdecombe
It's very much a stoner song about Ann Widdecombe.
Thoughts and feelings on this would be mega.
Otherwise True Widow as reviewed here is rather ace:

I saw Church of Misery on Saturday night.
They were bloody brilliant.
Fuck! I'm jealous
Friend of mine saw them like 5 years ago and is still raving about it.
a few Noun-verb-er bands operating in this idiom
Weedeater
More on the sludgy side of things, pretty damn excellent nonetheless.
Slabdragger
Relatively new band, LP due out on Holy Roar at some point. Their track 'Murky Fen' has one of the catchiest riffs I've heard this year.
Sunsmasher
Crusty sludge from Glasgow, with a seriously mean fucking groove.
Bongripper
Misanthropic, instrumental nastiness. Listen to their Sex Tape/Snuff Film 7"
Also, to be very literal with the 'stoner' aspect
pretty much everyone should be forced to listen to these weed-themed metal masterpieces until their mind collapses:
Sleep-Dopesmoker
Electric Wizard-Dopethrone
Don't forget...
Sleep's holy Mountain
What about Acid King?
Read about them today but haven't heard any. Faris from the Horrors had them in his list of fav records in Uncut.
Magna Saga
See what you think

sleep- dopesmoker needs to be mentioned again
proceeds the weedian...Nazareth!
Witch Mountain
Vocalist is a bit of a novelty (she's good), and the music is solid to back her up. I really like the production on the album too tbh.
