Which would mean you sit on the chicks, if you sit on the cans....

Yeah, I agree. I'm pretty appaled at your lack of doom and it's affiliates in the list. I suggest you at least add that section.

I was drunk and lazy when I made the list, but I will add to it. Also don't want to add too much, ya knows? I'll update the OP when I add stuff, and then I'll make a new post announcing the changes. Requests for bands/albums/genres will be taken into account, so... suggest ****.

Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity [stoner]
Eyehategod - Take as Needed for Pain [sludge]
Baroness - Purple (their new album!) [sludge]
Unholy - The Second Ring of Power [death-doom]
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer [doom... I guess?]
The Black Angels - Passover (from the end credits of the first episode of True Detective) [stoner]

More like if I'm missing anything egregious it would be nice to be notified. I guess you should just suggest genres, as you do have a point (*******). Albums should be up to me... I guess (*******).

That's more like it. I might add Age of Winters then.

Artist: Black Angels
Album: Passover (2006)
Category: Doom/Stoner/Sludge

The thing with stoner rock, along with a few other genres I like, is no matter how formulaic it is, it always manages to impress me. This album was certainly no exception. It wasn't necessarily stoner metal (as the majority of these bands are interchangeable) but that didn't stop me from appreciating it. Like Batlord said, it's more like if stoner rock was invented in the 60's, and this definitely shows through the Jim Morrison-esque hazy atmosphere, the bluesy guitars, and their Velvet Underground worship (their very name is a reference to "The Black Angel's Death Song").

I'd like to complain about the lack of variety, or the length. But I just can't being myself to do it. It's just a solid record altogether. I can't really find any major flaws in this, but it still isn't my favorite album.

Thus, I give it a 9/10.

I have only heard one song by them and that is Don't Play with Guns off of their 2013 LP Indigo Meadow. It sounded more Psychedelic than Stoner/Sludge. I'll have to listen to the rest of their stuff for sure though.

It was more psychedlic blues rock imo. Though, all stoner really is is psych blues metal, so it wasn't far enough off to not classify.
