I'm a bit late to the party but this thread simply could not be left without the following additions.
ORANGE GOBLIN. One of the most intense live bands I've ever seen. Total testosterone-fuelled, no bull****, stoner rock/metal.
BONGZILLA. More on the sludge/doom side of things but still qualifies. Nice little sample of Reservoir Dogs too.
Maybe this track from GOATSNAKE is a little too clean and not bass-y enough to be considered stoner? I dont know but it's damn good.
Hawkwind-esque stoner/space rock from WHITE HILLS. A beautiful album. It only gets better the more I listen to it.
THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX. Really retro sounding stoner/psych rock. The odd little solo here and there, which isnt always a feature of the genre.
RED FANG. A more modern example of stoner rock. Very tight, very solid album. Maybe would have benefited from being made a few years earlier.
I was trying not to include bands that have already been mentioned. Also ELECTRIC WIZARD are more sludge/doom than stoner. However you cant deny they are rooted in the genre and I'll take any excuse to post about them. Live version of Return Trip. Why are they often referred to as "the heaviest band in the universe"? This is why.
