My song would have to be a good old favourite...
DOWN - On March The Saints

song of my childhood

I'm a bit late to the party but this thread simply could not be left without the following additions.

ORANGE GOBLIN. One of the most intense live bands I've ever seen. Total testosterone-fuelled, no bull****, stoner rock/metal.

BONGZILLA. More on the sludge/doom side of things but still qualifies. Nice little sample of Reservoir Dogs too.

Maybe this track from GOATSNAKE is a little too clean and not bass-y enough to be considered stoner? I dont know but it's damn good.

Hawkwind-esque stoner/space rock from WHITE HILLS. A beautiful album. It only gets better the more I listen to it.

THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX. Really retro sounding stoner/psych rock. The odd little solo here and there, which isnt always a feature of the genre.

RED FANG. A more modern example of stoner rock. Very tight, very solid album. Maybe would have benefited from being made a few years earlier.

I was trying not to include bands that have already been mentioned. Also ELECTRIC WIZARD are more sludge/doom than stoner. However you cant deny they are rooted in the genre and I'll take any excuse to post about them. Live version of Return Trip. Why are they often referred to as "the heaviest band in the universe"? This is why.

**** i missed this god mother****ing damnit.

This band might be more doomy but iv got to post something. Checking out all your links right now!

Birch Hill Dam

@mojopunk I want to plant a big kiss on your face. Didnt see your post till now. The atomic bitchwax is an incredible band as you can tell by my user title. If you havnt listened to 1-3 and their new album I strongly suggest it as they are all amazing. Also dont forget the live album Boxrif as its top notch!

Also that Goatsnake album is great. I would have posted Flower of Disease as that is an amazing start to any heavy album. Do you know if they only have that one album out? Id love to listen to more.

Lastly I hope you have listened to Frquencies From Planet Ten and Time Traveling Blues as they are easily just as good as The Big Black. Scorpiana thogh is one killer song. Their is a live version on the deluxe album.

I lied, lastly is actually a kudos for posting red fang. Their videos are always funny and low budget. I havent listened to White Hills, what would you suggest I start with?

ps: I think you would really like Birch Hill Dam if you dont know them. Id gladly send you a link.

Tool is definitely not stoner rock.

Although PRS guitars are pretty sweet. I really like their SE 1. Its like a melody maker with 1 p90 in the bridge.
