Get Stoned!
Here are 50 stoner rock/stoner metal albums you should give a try. Only greg, jethro and a few select others seem to listen to this excellent genre. |
| 1 |  | Kyuss
Welcome to Sky Valley
the fathers of stoner rock; an absolute classic |
| 2 |  | Electric Wizard
dOPETHrone
as heavy as the genre probably gets |
| 3 |  | Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf
probably the most popular album, excellent nevertheless |
| 4 |  | Down
NOLA
manliest album out there probably, shits at pantera |
| 5 |  | Clutch
Blast Tyrant
if you don't like this, you suck |
| 6 |  | Boris
Akuma no Uta
the best of Boris' "stoner" albums; crushing and energetic |
| 7 |  | Sleep
Sleep's Holy Mountain
much, much, much better than Dopesmoker |
| 8 |  | Monster Magnet
Dopes to Infinity
the best album from these stoner giants; trippy as hell |
| 9 |  | Trouble
Manic Frustration
doom band turned to pure stoner metal on this one (probably slightly worse than Psalm 9 and self-titled) |
| 10 |  | Colour Haze
Los Sounds de Krauts
a definite must for stoner fans who like longer jams |
| 11 |  | Eternal Elysium
Spiritualized D
heavy (not) stoner rock from japan |
| 12 |  | Cathedral
The Ethereal Mirror
heavier than your average stoner album with a unique vocalist (they dont seem to give a shit nowadays, though) |
| 13 |  | Spiritual Beggars
Ad Astra
has that hard rock/(aor) vibe I usually despise but it works surprisingly well here |
| 14 |  | Witchcraft
Witchcraft
your favourite sabbath rip-offs; album is fucking fantastic |
| 15 |  | Melvins
Stoner Witch
I think they succeed much more when incorporating more sludge into their music, but "Stoner Witch" rocks hard |
| 16 |  | Unida
Coping With the Urban Coyote
John Garcia is like the Kanye West of stoner rock/metal (or not), he's fucking everywhere --> Unida might be the best post-Kyuss material from him |
| 17 |  | Spirit Caravan
Jug Fulla Sun
Scott Weinrich (Wino) is nearly just as good; "Jug Fulla Sun" is a mesmerizing album |
| 18 |  | Ufomammut
Snailking
really heavy and trippy stoner/doom (like everything these guys have put out) |
| 19 |  | Brant Bjork
Jalamanta
the relaxing kind of stoner rock; you'll feel high by just listening to this |
| 20 |  | Om
Conference of the Birds
they don't always hit but there is so much brilliance in here |
| 21 |  | Karma to Burn
Almost Heathen
the sonic equivalent of "fuck yeah" |
| 22 |  | High on Fire
Blessed Black Wings
more straightforward stoner/sludge but heavy |
| 23 |  | Acrimony
Tumuli Shroomaroom
the album name might tell you what to expect |
| 24 |  | Graveyard
Graveyard
their sophomore effort is just as good, but I'd prefer this; psychedelic stoner rock |
| 25 |  | Fu Manchu
Eatin' Dust
reminds me of skateboarding and shit |
| 26 |  | Kylesa
Static Tensions
got really popular when it hit in 2009 and the "fame" it got is justified; the drummer kicks asses |
| 27 |  | Dozer
Through the Eyes of Heathens
RIFFS |
| 28 |  | Solace
13
the album everyone just has to fucking check out; this rocks so much it's unbelievable |

Liquid
like floating in space, seriously |
| 32 |  | Corrosion of Conformity

harsh, southern-y stoner rock (reminds me of Sabbath and ZZ Top) |
| 33 |  | Orange Goblin

stoner rock/metal with a really spacey atmosphere |
| 34 |  | Earthless
Rhythms From a Cosmic Sky
long-ass psych solos and head-nodding |

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (+stoner) |

very fuzzy guitars, good production, pretty harmonies, and vocals that don't try to sound stoner |

| 42 | | The Heads
Relaxing With...
you WILL be pretty relaxed when listening to this |
