Best stoner albums

  • Besides the obvious, Dopesmoker by Sleep and Monoliths and Dimensions by Sunn O))), I would say Satan Worshiping Doom by Bongripper can be very heavy, limb melting music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsDz5qphC3c

    I guess everyone has their own version of "stoner" music. I lean more toward the doom. As far as just stoner rock, I recommend All Them Witches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjZXmJJc2Gs
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th

    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2

    Sleep for sure
    Weedeater
    Chron Goblin (local pride - they're from Calgary!)
    Clutch - self titled from 1995
    Explosions in the Sky - especially the NPR show (on YouTube) from the 9:30 Club. I zone out to it almost once a week. 


    Definitely Weedeater. If you dig them, you should check out Black Tomb.

    forgot about this one:


    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.

    Very cool to see this one up here.  I found a nice promo copy of this in a thrift store early this year for a couple dollars.  Was thrilled!

    looked for cover art credit for that dream syndicate on discogs. didnt see any.

    appears like a  ripoff of Alex Grey and what TOOL does for their art...

    The Dream Syndicate cover art is by Alex Aliuem who ripped off his first name from Alex Grey, lol. 
    Well, if you're gonna borrow, borrow from the best, right? 
    The music itself is marvelous, textured, mysterious and moody at times, a lot of it definitely psychedelic.  They really got out there on some this work this time. Steve Wynn wanted the group to perform the entire album live (which would have been quite a feat) but it came out right as the pandemic hit.  It probably won't happen now as the band is finishing up another album and Wynn is working on a memoir.

    Alex Grey's work is fantastic.  I have an oversized book of his art work.  Also used to have a signed copy of his more literary The Mission of Art that I sold years ago.  Pretty good book and I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't inscribed to me so no reason to keep it and I needed the money.
