LOL I was sooo stoned I dont remember! (oh thats not what were talking about!? doh forget I even mentioned it

) but i vaguely remember listening to Foghat Live, thats a good one or Rolling Stones Some Girls. I think I wore the grooves out of that one!

To corral some of the loose horses...

we're talking about the genre of 'stoner rock', not 'rock that in my opinion is good to get stoned to'.

The band Sleep's record Jerusalem is a cornerstone of the genre. I also second the recommendation of Electric Wizard's Dopethrone record, never was a recording so suited to listening in a car REALLY REALLY LOUD. Subwoofer mandatory.

oh man... you're right in the heart of ween territory, aren't you... that oh/pa/nj circuit.. you lucky dog.

i saw ween in atlanta when they were touring for pure guava, and then with their first full band for chocolate and cheese. the first show they were so gone it was just funny. the second show was unfreakinbelievable. still ranks as one of the best live shows i've ever seen.

Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun for me

I second what MichaelFranks mentioned...check out Isis

 

[feedtherobot]

what headphones do you guys prefer for this kind of music?

i'm heavily into a lot of psychadelic/stoner music right now so i'm pretty curious.

any comments about 225's or 595's with these genres?

So coincidental, but without seeing this thread, I was listening to Kyuss Blues for the Red Sun this a.m. on my commute (with my iPod 4G and Meier Porta Corda and Sennheiser HD-25s...nice!). Modern "stoner rock" is definitely what the initial replies to this thread have referred, altho there's lots of music that folks enjoy in the other state o' mind.

I have a lot of Kyuss and Kyuss derivative bands and just picked up one of the "desert sessions" cd's. I do love this sabbath offshoot type stuff. The riffs...

- walkman

Aye! As is their "remake," Dopesmoker.

I also love Matt Pike's new band, High on Fire, especially Surrounded By Thieves, which I am simply unable to contemplate removing from my car's 6 disc CD changer.

For a band that would make you swear Kyuss were back together, check out Lowrider. They're pretty shameless, but they rock real good. Their last album was called ODE TO IO. With song titles like "Dust Settlin'" and "Sun Devil" leave little doubt as to the style of rock these Swedes play. To quote Allmusic.com: "serious fans of stoner rock are encouraged to put aside their prejudice and give Lowrider a chance."

I don't know what happened to them. This album is a few years old already.
Their split cd with Nebula on Meteor City is a definate must-have as well. Both bands deliver very memorable tunes that rival anything on their full-lengths.

High On Fire-Blessed Black Wings check it out! What a fantastic album!

I don't think anyone has mentioned St. Vitus and the Obsessed. Both bands are worth checking out for their heavy Sabbath style riffing (St. Vitus is brutally slow, Obsessed a bit more animated), but between both bands, they probably have about 1 full cd of worthwhile songs. Wino (The Obsessed was Wino's main band, but he joined St. Vitus for a few years as well) just isn't the best lyricist that ever was, but both bands do have some classic tunes. There used to be a St. Vitus comp called HEAVIER THAN THOU (on SST) which pretty much sums up their early stuff and contains most of their best songs ("Born Too Late", "Windowpane" and "Look Behind You"). The Obsessed have a couple albums and a comp out as well (look for THE CHURCH WITHIN in a cut-out bin near you).

Ive also been listening to the new COC-In the Arms of God cd. It's classic, southern, sludge, stoner metal. Definitely worth a spin. It's filthy.

 

[braker218]

First off i wanna say thanks to you all for such great recommendations. I have so many new cd's to listen to: it is awesome.

Anyways, i have been looking everywhere for the Masters of Reality Self Titled cd and can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where i could possibly find it?
