    Floyd obviously.
    Zeppelin has some of the greatest stoner tunes, but not enough on any given album.  We made a custom Zep stoner mix back in our day that was ridiculously good.  Ultimate Zep we called it.
    Yield is good.

    We like anything by Railroad Earth for buzzin.
    Citizen Cope and Ben Harper.

    Citizen Cope as Stoner music?  Interesting!

    not my thing, but i would say anything by Kyuss
    I don't see them as stoner rock at all?!?

    Phish and GD are my top two guesses as I don't smoke and I like Kyuss.
    really?  i thought they were one of the more notable stoner rock bands out there.
    I'll backtrack for a second there.  Slow burner albums can be considered as stoner rock so I'll agree to an extent.

    Anybody ever listen to Tallest Man On Earth?

    Interesting description.

    So I guess Monster Magnet and Soundgarden could be considered Stoner Rock too then?

    I always pictured Pink Floyd, Doors, Beatles songs like Paperback Writer and stuff like that.  Mostly 70's stuff.  I never thought modern music was stoner too but I get it after reading the description.  Never put much stock into it.

    I used to joke with a buddy of mine that introduced me to Tallest Man On Earth and I said u like "dope smoking music" and he replied, "yes", lol.

    So I now fully understand what a Stoner Rock band is!

    I know about doom metal/Stoner rock but I didn’t think this thread meant that.  Some of my favorite bands like Elder & This Will Destroy You are Doom/Stoner, but it’s not music I listen to when I’m baked.

    stoner rock is just the term for slowed down doom, because it’s like the musicians are stoned, not the listener.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I thought the same. I'm a Kyuss fan and never smoked, but do associate them with that seen.

    Blues for the Red Sun is superb!!

    If we're talking Randy California, I always liked Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus during those hazy moments of bygone years.
    I would definitely go with Electric Ladyland over Axis.

    the cover of twelve dreams is a giveaway of its stoner rockness.
