Got any good stonerrock bands you'd like people to discover?
Here's a few for the openminded who wants so hear heavy-ass music without the necessary long black hair and tattoos:

Kyuss (first stop for the new stonerrocker)
Black Sabbath (we all know them)
Electric Wizard (Distortion, anyone?)
Zebulon (great swedish stoner)
Spiritual Beggars (yet more good swedish stoner)
Dozer (swedish stoner, getting obvious where the shit is produced?;))
Rollerball (aussie stoner, the stuff)
12 Stones (sweet jox)
Gas Giant (I think they're Danish, or was that Gammera?)
Gammera (are they the danes?)
Karma to Burn (mostly instrumental, <b>very</b> good and sharp stuff, music of the gods)
Halfway to Gone (not my cup of tea when it comes to stoner, still quality though)
Koma (ditto)
Queens of the Stoneage (they brought stoner to the masses, good nevertheless)

There's plenty more, anyone care to continiue?
Obscure music can be discussed aswell:)

Dirty Americans - Strange Generation, brilliant album...prefer this lot to QOTSA.

Kyuss is great.
Queens of the Stoneage are even better. (even though Josh Hommes and Nick Oliveri from QOTSA were IN Kyuss.
I really like their first album and Rated R.
Not crazy about Songs for the Deaf.

And Black Sabbath is the greatest thing that ever happened to rock and roll, since the Beatles.

Thats right, I said it.

Ugh....how could you not list pink floyd!? :confused:

Que? Pink Floyd was a revolution to rock in general, even more so the Progressive Rock, but not really stoner man...

Lets not forget Pentagram

Well, they were on plenty of drugs, but they were on drugs of a different sort.
So yeah, they aren't quite stoner rock.

I prefer their sort of drugs anyway :D

Monster Magnet are one that's alright. Some cruddy songs.

Oh yeah...and borderline, but do the Butthole Surfers qualify? :p
