I'm really into "stoner rock" right now.....bands such as Clutch, Artimus Pyledriver, Weedeater, High On Fire, etc...
A few that I just discovered, although some have been around for a while...
The Sword (if you only check out one of these bands, check this one out) Hermano The Company Band Bloodhorse Electric Wizard 60 Watt Shaman Abramis Brama
Anybody else listen to "stoner rock"?

Another band I forgot to list...
Protest The Hero
Some serious shredding by these guys...They are straight up metal, or prog metal...not a "stoner rock" band. The music reminds me a lot of Dream Theater or Liquid Tension Experiment.

The only band I've ever heard described as "stoner rock" is Queens of the Stone Age, but everybody's heard of them. Well, and Kyuss, but I don't like Kyuss very much.

Oh, Kyuss is another one of my favorites.... I never could get into the Queens Of The Stoneage. I know "stoner rock" isn't really a genre, but it should be.. ;D If ya'll have never checked out this site, then check it out... www.stonerrock.comI've discovered a bunch of bad ass bands on this page... Figured I'd list a few more of my favs.... Neurosis Isis (pronounced I - Sis) Nebula

I've definitely been able to get into some of the "stoner rock" bands, but I haven't heard too many. I also prefer to call it NĂ¼-Grunge. I'll try to check out some of those bands you mentioned. The only one I've listened to so far, is Clutch, which I can dig.

Clutch is the king of the stoner rock bands.....
The Company Band that I mentioned earlier features Neil Fallon (Clutch vocalist) on vocals...

Yeah, well I love QOTSA, and I've only ever heard them reffered as "desert rock"...Stupid Wikipedia. I love the atmosphere of their songs.

I've never heard of them being referred to as "desert rock". Seems like every band has their own genre these days...
Funny you mentioned that, people are starting to refer to my band as "swamp rock". haha....

I listen to a lot of Fu Manchu; I think they're great. That's about it for Stoner Rock and me though.
