This thread needs more Nebula

and Monster Magnet

and Kyuss. Really though 10 replies about stoner rock and no Kyuss... for shame.

^ Well, there was some QOTSA self-titled, which is pretty close. Kind of. Though all in all, I pretty much consider Homme to be the godfather, founder, and prime force behind stoner rock as we know it. There's a reason all the good stoner rock bands come from southern California.

Bluesy instrumental psych-stoner rock from Palm Desert

everyone knows High on Fire, the ex-sleepers that teeter on the edge of thrash, fronted by the perpetually high and angry Matt Pike

I think you're giving him too much credit. He's definitely one of the primary reasons why the style has broken through the mainstream but groups like Monster Magnet and Fu Manchu had been fuzzing out for years while he was still learning to play Polka tunes on his first guitar.

Really though, as far as godfathers, founders, and prime forces behind stoner rock go it's freaking Black Sabbath and Hawkwind

Haha, no. Kyuss was actually formed around the same time as both those bands.

My favorite too, it found them at a good time when they were bridging the gap between the sound of Kyuss and the more structured QOTSA. And what, QOTSA hate? Is this real life?

I thought they'd be too synonymous with stoner rock, like mentioning Led Zeppelin in a 70s hard rock thread. But since you brought it up...

My favorite Kyuss song. I love the prog undertones of it

Sprinkle on top with this:

It's all Sabbath with a splash of psychedelia really but who cares!
