Searching for a Good Stoner Rock Band
 

I listen to a lot of metal bands but I feel like listening to something different thats more laid back so please enlighten me with your infinite wisdom

I'm sure you're aware of Sublime...

I assume you're also aware of the 'main' bands in the genre (Sleep, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Nebula, Spiritual Beggars, etc)?

Kyuss- ''...And The Circus Leaves Town''

Kyuss
Queens of the Stone Age

Colour Haze. Good German stoner band.

when i'm wantin to just chill out, i can never go wrong with the allman brothers,...old school yes,....but brilliant,....

also,...govt mule, derek trucks, and the toadies,....

oh oh oh and,.... ben harper,....
robert randolf,....
and the black crowes

bad wizardddddddddddd.

I have to say what I have heard of Electric Wizard (DOPETHRONE) I'm not impressed. lazy Sabbath-esque riffs that have been heard a thousand times before. I much prefer ST.VITUS DANCE which is a Sabbath song and a great band from the early 90's

Sleep is pretty good.

Your'e telling me! I'm knackered!

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:

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.

Om

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... :D

Wiki is a great start=!

Pink floyd

although i hate how people hurt the name of this great band by calling it "stoner" rock

Pink Floyd is my favorite,turn the lights off, the music up and just sit back and enjoy the show!!

Priestess. Their debut album was great.

Yet you mention them in a stoner rock thread? :crazy:

Fu Manchu, stoner music for the stoned at heart. Also Nebula, Monster Magnet and Cathedral

he asked for nice laid back music... never used the word stoner in his actual qustion

Umm, yeah but the title of the thread is Searching for a Good Stoner Rock Band.

Queens of the Stone Age
Desert Sessions

try Ill Scarlett, they are pretty good.

pink floyd

yeah pink floyd for sure it's such a typical stoner thing but its so amazing.......frist time I got high with my best friend we listen to it and laughed at the fact we were stoned and listening to pink floyd but really its amazing

Not much you can do though. It is the best stoner rock anywhere!!

Ahh Floyd. . .

OM have split up.

This is terrible news, because I never saw them live.

Listen to OM.

Check out Torche....they're pretty good

No they haven't, but Chris has left. It's still a shame though... :/

From the Om website & myspace

Well at least they're not done.

I too wonder how different the sound will be, Chris and Al were the proper duo who had worked together for years.

Citizen Cope.

I drop acid to Dying Fetus and Circle of Dead Children.

I drop dead children in a circle of acid.

I second Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics, although all Wizard is good.

I second Monster Magnet, Kyuss, Sleep (especially Dopesmoker), The Sword, Om and a few others already mentioned in this thread.

Ill add:-

Evoken - Shades of Night Descending
Pentagram - Relentless
Bongzilla - Gateway
Sunn o))) and Boris - Altar (collab)
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Left Hand Solution - Fevered
Loop - Wolf Flow
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans
Trouble - The Skull
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty

And, it may not be stoner rock but Opeth - Damnation

I absolutely detest Candlemass. Had the misfortune to see them live many years ago. they stank. Good call on Loop though. I much refer A Gilded Eternity though and they occupied the shoegaze side of Indie but still a great band. Witchfinder General-now that is a blast from the past. I loved them. I will have to get some stuff by them. Nice varied list.

Death Penalty is a fantastic Witchfinder album. Friends of Hell wasnt as good.
