Sleep are pretty arguably the best of the three big stoner metal bands (Kyuss, Electric Wizard, Sleep [Stoner Metal fans I know there's more then just those three, but for sake of argument I'll say those are the three most popular]).
I wouldn't start you off on Dopesmoker though, unless you're a pothead and really into stoner metal. Their '93 album Sleep's Holy Mountain would probably be the best place to begin.
