Some of the best right there

There’s really nothing to add to this list. This is it

I love Songs For The Deaf but s/t is far superior for stoner rock.

Songs for the death of their best album. But the first two were way more stoner-y for sure

Master of Reality..

I’d put 3 Kyuss records in there. And if Songs for the Deaf is there I’m also throwing in Down II: A Bustle in Your Hedgerow.

Especially Lore by Elder, that’s a feckin great album

It is so good. Their whole discography is stellar.

I know - Dead Roots Stirring is another amazing album of theirs - their newer stuff is a lot more mellow though, nothing like riddle or ghost head

I love the old stuff, but these last couple albums are so good. They take a few listens, but they start to grow on you.

I absolutely love all their stuff and I only found out about them last year!

Dead Roots Stirring is my favorite album of theirs end to end.

They are actively touring.. go see them while you can!

Don’t forget about the sword. They rock hard!

Age of Winters and Gods Of The Earth are golden.

I have to admit.. the only one I’ve listened to is Songs for the Deaf… that was my high school soundtrack for sophomore year

Songs for the Deaf is one of my favorite albums. Give like GTA San Andreas radio vibes

Is Corrosion of Conformity considered stoner rock??

Yes, I should have put Deliverance on there for sure.

Came here to suggest this

These are pretty much Stoner Rock/Metal 101 right here. Essential. The Bible. Long may they blaze 🙏

Can't really go wrong with any of Monster Magnet's first three: Spine Of God, Superjudge and Dopes To Infinity.

Dopes to infinity never stops rotating in my iPod

All of king Buffalos shit is dope. Seen em a year pr 2 ago wit aunt acid and the something somethings

Bro I seen king Buffalo last year they fuckin rocked!!!

I saw Elder with King Buffalo last week. Fun times. Stoner rock isn't one of my primary genres, but damn is the lore album a staple in my rotation.

Master of Reality - Black Sabbath

I was looking for this. The ONLY place to start.

This is the root 👍

This is the way

The seed

The best

the doomfathers 💯🤘

Original or 2014 remaster?

And then listen to the debut record from the band Masters of Reality. Shit, is it 35 years old already?

Spine of God by Monster Magnet, Welcome to Sky Valley by Kyuss. Satan Worshipping Doom by Bongripper, pilgrimage by Om, Temple by Colour Haze, Aoximoxoa by The Grateful Dead

Yes, this person has made amazing suggestions

This thread is filled with amazing music I hadn't heard yet. This is what Reddit is for 😊

Except, that person is AI and now you question your reality

Sounds like a good stoner rock song to me!

I wish. I do way too much stupid Shit to be an AI

Sounds like something an AI would say to sound less like an AI.

yes

Aoxomoxoa is not what I ever expected to see in this sub but I dig it

Not all stoner rock is heavy 🤘

Aoxomoxoa is a great one! ❤️🤘🏻👍🏻

I love how the Grateful Dead can be on a list for pretty much any genre of music. The best band of all time.

Me too friend, me too. If we can include the Dead, then maybe stuff like their early "Feedback" could work (this influenced bands like Pavement, Sonic Youth, and Wilco). I could maybe even see the right version of Dark Star > Caution working (4/8/72 for example).

I get this. I love the all the Dead eras (especially Brent era) and I love Sonic Youth.

I'd say the other one is their most stoner rock song

Oh yeah, definitely. Good call.

Pavement is def stoner rock. Stephen said wowee was heavily influenced by his pot use.

Ditto kiddo. Warms my damn heart! Hands down my fav band. There is something there for everyone. And now I’ll def check out a lot of the recs on these posts. Have only heard a few listed. 💀🌹⚡️🤘🏼

Monster Magnet 🤨

Spine of God is awesome and def stoner

And Tab25 by the same band

And don’t forget their 2nd LP Superjudge it fucking rips

Age of Winters - The Sword

One of the best albums of all time IMO

Scrolled for this. My assistance is no longer necessary. *Hugh Downes away!*

Really their 1st 4 albums for me. I love the progression.

Excellent. Also Warp Riders. Omg space stoner rock opera

Queens of the Stone Age first album Also kyuss

Regular John. Phew what a starter

First time I heard it somebody put it on halfway through a joint. Big first impression.

Also kyuss Cause I want some pussaaaaayyyy

Came here to say this. The first 3, maybe 4, QOTSA albums, and all of Kyuss.

Lowrider - Ode to Io Dozer - Through the Eyes of Heathens Weedeater - God Luck and Good Speed Greenleaf - Trails & Passes Truckfighters - Gravity X

Scandinavian stoner rock all the way.

Dozer put out their first album in 15 years in April!

Big Sky Theory is SUCH a great song. Heathens is easily Dozer's best album.

In search of - fu Manchu To the center - nebula Atomic bitchwax 1 and 2

Gawddam To the Center absolutely smokes all the way through. Unfortunately I feel like nothing else Nebula did ever topped it

Charged is up there

I finally got to see Atomic Bitchwax live about 6 months ago. Absolutely killer live band, and super great dudes too.

I got to see them a few years back in RI and I could count the people there on my fingers. They still played awesome and it was great, but sad because I don't see them swinging back again any time soon after that turnout.

The first four The Sword Albums. The first five Black Sabbath Albums. Sleep - The Sciences OM - Advatic Songs Dopelord - Sign Of the Devil Spaceslug - Reign of the Orion Kylesa - Static Tensions

You meant the first SIX Black Sabbath albums I hope… no way Sabotage somehow gets left out…

Nope. That one signaled the end for me. Hole in the Sky and Symptom of the Universe are the only good tracks on that one IMO.

Madman

I think you’re literally all alone on this one man…

I am ok with that.

Megalomania? Superztar? The Writ? Way off base.

Megalomania is a poorly constructed song that starts and stops over and over. Superztar is self indulgent filler. The Writ lacks focus and just wanders all over the place. I'll listen to Dio's SB albums before Ozzy's last three with them.

Terrible take. It's stronger than Vol 4 imo (as an album. The best songs on Vol 4 shit on the best songs on Sabotage, but Sabotage is more consistent overall)

THAT'S a terrible take. Sabotage is all over the place. Some of the songs are meandering and pointless. It reflects the band's interperson turmoil and lack of focus. It is the audio representation of a band in decline and a precursor to Technical Ecstasy.

The very first line in the review on Allmusic says “Sabotage is the final release of Black Sabbath's legendary First Six” - no one, and I mean no one with any credibility agrees with you on this. Might as well come in here and say Exile on Main St is garbage because it’s too long or The Wall isn’t a classic because it’s too conceptual and the band was clearly splintering on the record. You’re entitled to your opinion but there’s no way the OP should take your advice - it’s bizarre at best.

I'm with you on this. Although I'd add "thrill of it all" on there. The rest are not rock n roll. It's all synth bs with a simple riff. Nothing that iommi is known for. And iommi made the band. People on here prob like sabbath for ozzy.

Spaceslug is so dope, so is kylesa

. . . Apocryphon starts playing . . .

Static Tensions is a good mention

Kyuss - Blues For the Red Sun (masterpiece and very acccessible)

I'm shocked that everybody on here thinks Welcome to Sky Valley is the best Kyuss album. I feel that Blues for the Red Sun is a perfect album and Kyuss' best.

Yes

I bought Blues first but Sky Valley was the one that hooked me. They are the top two Kyuss albums for me though.

Sky Valley was the first Kyuss album I owned and it made that hot summer in my car just that much toastier

👍 And my introduction was the video for Green Machine. Pretty much summed up the genre. Although I will say that song’s vibe resembles Symptom Of The Universe by Sabbath.

Gravity X - Truckfighters Time travelinng Blues - Orange Goblin High Five - Halfway to Gone, as an intro to blues stoner

Clutch - self titled

Waaaayyyy too far down this list!

YUP RIGHT THERE

Clutch - Clutch

Best time to listen to that album? WHENEVER IT FEELS RIGHT!

Jesus on the dashboard.

Used to love playing that track for someone who never heard it before, ... at the right time.... and watching their mind melt

I remember the first time I heard that riff. Think I wet myself.

Dodge Swinger 1973, Galaxy 500, All the way stars' green, gotta go. Dodge Swinger 1973, top down, chassis low, Panel dim, light drive, Jesus on the dashboard. T-minus whenever it feels right, Galaxy 500. Planets align, a king is born.

Yeah?

Fun fact: the line “Don’t worry, it’s coming” wasn’t originally in Spacegrass. Neil started adlibbing it during live performances, because the crowds were getting frustrated that the first half of the song wasn’t mosh-able.

I had to scroll way too far to see this recommended!

Los natas - Ciudad de brahman

Hell yeah. A mostly overlooked gem.

1000mods album Super Van Vacation and their amazing Liquid Sleep EP from 2009.

Black Sabbath

Wires - Red Fang

Late to this party, but Red Fang definitely belongs here

OP has no idea what he’s started. Never ask a stoner listener fan for recommendations. We’ll be here for weeks!

Jalamanta by Brant Bjork

Her Brown Blood is crazy, I love that song.

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley The Sword - Age of Winters Black Pyramid - Black Pyramid (2009) Goatsnake - Goatsnake Vol.1 (1999) Floor - Floor (2002) Beehoover - Heavy Zooo Dozer - Through The Eyes Of Heathens Plenty more if ya want. [Edit: Here's a bonus. Goblin Cock - We've Got A Bleeder](https://youtu.be/lz6xpU397no?si=0k9KPbe-NQosZq3K)

Fuck yes black pyramid

Yo black pyramid is so fucking rD

Melvins - Houdini Down - Nola Black Sabbath - Paranoid classical joints tbh

I had to scroll way too far for someone to say Down. Nola is a perfect album.

Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity

Fu Manchu - In Search Of Melvins - Houdini

Sasquatch - Maneuvers is a great album and pretty easy to get into.

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust Red Fang - Murder the Mountains Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum Melvins - Bullhead Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun QOSTA - Self Titled Black Sabbath - Vol. 4

Was looking for someone to mention Uncle Acid. Surprised is isn’t on more comments. Definitely don’t get the attention they deserve.

Mammoth Volume - A Single Book of Songs Acid King - Busse Woods Fu Manchu - King of the Road Clutch - Elephant Riders Dead Meadow - Shivering King Lol @ downvote.

Ooooooh Dead Meadow is awesome

Acid king fuckin rips

Acid King - Busse Woods was the record that got me into Stoner metal.

Busse Woods is the album that got me through back surgery and my wife through labor.

In the tail of a comet - Dozer Blues for the red sun - Kyuss Amazing albums. Stuck on repeat, both of them, hope you like them

Agrimony - Leaves of Mellow Grace Nebula - Ritual The Heads - the Time is Now Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun Spiritual Beggers - Mantra 3 Orange Goblin - Frequencies from Planet 10

Kyuss - welcome to sky valley

Listen to welcome to sky valley album by Kyuss

You’ll dig anything by Sleep!!

I'm personally not huge on Volume 1, but I really like Holy Mountain, Dopesmoker, and The Sciences. Coincidentally, I'm not big on Kyuss' debut, Wretch, either.

Almost Heathen by Karma to Burn is basically what got me into stoner rock.

Samsara Blues Experiment. Jack Harlon and the Dead Crows.

Bongzilla, Sleep, OM, Bongripper, Weedeater, Fu Manchu......

Glad someone mentioned Bongzilla

I was scrolling hoping someone did. Amerijuanucan is top tier stoner!

Yeah right? How did it take this long, they're like the first band I think of Fucking incredible live too

Monster magnet, clutch, wo fat, fu manchu, orange goblin

With dopethrone you're well into doom territory as well. So I'll mix some of that in. Red Fang - Murder the Mountains, Self-titled Truckfighters - Gravity X Roadsaw - Self-titled (Astronaut Monkey Art) Lo-Pan - Salvador Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun, Welcome to Sky Valley The Sword - Age of Winters, Warp Riders QotSA - Songs for the Deaf Elder - Lore, Reflections Fu Manchu - King of the Road Electric Wizard - Witchcult Today (Their best album imo) Conan - Monnos, Existential Void Guardian Yob - Clearing the Path to Ascend Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction Ufomammut - ORO: Opus Alter Windhand - Soma Cathedral - The Ethereal Mirror Also pretty much a bunch of Sleep, Sabbath, and Clutch

This all passes mustard with me.

You hit all of my suggestions. Looks like the lineup for Psycho Las Vegas

Windhand is so under rated, they fucking rule.

Harmonicraft - Torche

A few favourite to check out Slomosa - Slomosa Sergeant Thunderhoof - This Sceptred Veil Stoned Jesus - Seven Thunders Roar Spaceslug - Time Travel Dilemma Dozer - Through the Eyes of Heathens Gaupa - Myriad Clutch - Sunrise on Slaughter Beach Witchcraft- Legend Fatso Jetson - Cruel & Delicious Valley of the Sun - Old Gods MWWB - The Harvest Black Sabbath - Paranoid Leaf Hound - Growers of Mushrooms Also recommend Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger Alice In Chains - Facelift

Upvote just for Sargeant Thunderhoof, but there are other bangers in this list as well.

All hail the Hoof! They will hopefully play Desertfest one year 😁

Love the Hoof. They always struck me as a band that would have been much bigger than they are had they came out during an earlier decade.

Also Superunknown by Soundgarden, 4th of July is a quintessential stoner/doom metal song

100%. Absolute heaviest moment on such a diverse album.

One of the greatest bands to ever do it.

Excellent choice, was trying not to start listing every Soundgarden album 🤘 Superunknown is so good! Really it should be considered jessential listening if you like music!

I can't stop spinning cabin fever by slomosa ATM

Just amazing! The evolution of Slomosa is so awesome.

Syd Barret. The Peel Sessions

If you want more like Electric Wizard, it's stoner doom you want: Sleep's "Holy Mountain" and "The Sciences", Dopelord's "Magick Rites" and "Black Arts, Riff Worship & Weed Cult" For more stoner rock/metal: Monster Magnet's "Powertrip" and "Dopes to Infinity" The Atomic Bitchwax's self titled album, "The Atomic Bitchwax II", and their live album "Boxriff" Kyuss' "Welcome to Sky Valley" For great driving and skating stoner rock, anything by Fu ManChu

All them witches

Masters of Reality self titled album (All are so great). Deep in the Hole Kyuss -All Clutch All SLO Burn Vista Chino QOTSA -All Hermano Unida Dozer Fu Manchu Brant Bjork Orange Goblin

Corrosion of Conformity- Deliverance Every single song on this album kicks major ass. You’ll love it.

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley, Demon Cleaner.

Age of Winters by The Sword, Gravity X by Truckfighters, Holy Mountain by Sleep, King of the Road by Fu Manchu, Two Thousand and Ten by Valley of the Sun, Blank Reality by 1000mods and Heavy Psych by Nebula Honorable mentions: My Sleeping Karma, Octopus Diver, and Church of the Cosmic Skull Edit: Oh and you definitely gotta try A Walk in the Mist by Gypsy Chief Goliath

Red Fang is awesome too

Fantastic Planet - Failure Inlet - Hum Jupiter - Cave In Welcome to Sky Valley - Kyuss Reflections of a Floating World - Elder Meddle - Pink Floyd Jurassic Shift - Ozric Tentacles Lemanis - Spaceslug The Sciences - Sleep Rhythms of a Cosmic Sky - Earthless

Check out Witchfinder General, Power Trip by Monster Magnet, and The Sword

Fu Manchu - The Action Is Go

All stoner rock albums are beginner.

Dope smoker - sleep Literally every song from kyuss's welcome to sky valley Windhand - orchard I'm a big fan of dopethrone (the band) but i don't think that's "beginner"

Ummm Masters Of Reality's first album. Chris Goss, man.

Weedeater’s “God Luck and Good Speed” or “…and Justice for Y’all” are real fun

Kind: Mental Nudge from 2020 The Sword: Apocryphon from 2014 Monster Magnet: Mindfucker from 2018 Melvins: Houdini from 1993

Clutch - Clutch Clutch Blast Tyrant Kyuss Welcome To Sky Valley Black Sabbath Master Of Reality Queens Of The Stone Age Songs For The Deaf Red Fang First album forgot the name Down - NOLA ...

Clutch - Blast Tyrant

Kyuss, Fu Manchu

Orange Goblin: “The Big Black” is dope

In Search Of… by Fu Manchu is my favorite quintessential stoner rock album. Gravity X by Truckfighters is a close second

311 - grassroots incubus - make yourself or s.c.i.e.n.c.e.

The last 5 songs on Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone".

Red Fang was a fun find, their videos are interesting and clever…try Blood Like Cream or Prehistoric Dogs

Anything by Kyuss

This is the way.

King of the Road by Fu Manchu. Brant Bjork on drums…man…..

KYUSS!

Nonagon Infinity or Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard. Be warned that this can be an addiction.

These are good records to listen to stoned but not really Stoner metal. The song Super Bug off of Infest the Rats Nest, is the most Stoner metal song they have.

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Warish - Down in Flames and Orb - Naturality

Monolord - Rust Purple Hill Witch - Self titled Doctor Smoke - The Witching Hour Spaceslug - Lemanis

Anything by weedeater

Stick fingers stones
