Come My Fanatics is a sick album. Return Trip is probably one of my favourite songs.

I second Colour Haze, I have a few albums and they are consistently amazing. Artistic and beautiful enough but with that characteristic fuzz. Mmhm.

On the topic of liking CH, Los Natas are good to check out. Meanwhile I think Fatso Jetson and Yawning Man are a must, reason being both bands include the founders of desert rock, the Lalli brothers, who are never dull.

And you know they're good when Brant Bjork talks about you like this:

Quote:

Yawning Man was the sickest desert band of all time. You’d just be up there in the desert, everybody’d just be hanging, partying. And they’d show up in their van and just, mellow, drag out their **** and set up right about the time the sun was goin’ down, set up the generators, sometimes they’d just go up there and drink beers and barbecue. Sometimes it would be a scene; sometimes it would be very intimate. It was very casual and loose and everybody would like, while they’re playing, everyone would just lounge around. They were kinda like a house band. It wasn’t militant like Black Flag. It was very drugged, very stone-y, it was very mystical. Everyone’s just tripping, and they’re just playing away, for hours. Oh, they’re the GREATEST band I’ve ever seen.

Well, Electric Wizard tends to be sludgier than a lot of stoner doom.

You might like Sahg - I. It's much more upbeat than EW and is one of my favourite stoner albums, behind Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley, which is of course the holy grail.

The Sword - "Age of Winters"

You might also like The Black Keys (more of a blues/rock band - not metal). Try their album "Rubber Factory" or "Magic Potion".

Hey here are some suggestions
john frusciante, allman brothers, circa survive, cat stevens, fleetwood mac, John Butler Trio, The killers ( i really enjoy there lasted album when I am stoned)
Xavier Rudd, Kinski and Silver Chair. I would try listening to an whole album straight when you are smoking, playlists can sometimes wreak the vibes

I love Stoner rock, you've got to jus listen to what everyone has suggested and pick out what you like and then ask for bands which are similar...

Wiki is a great start=!

pboldingh · 01-13-2008, 04:01 PM
