Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?
#31
I tend to lump anything that is Stoner/Sludge/Doom/(Insert one of the plethora of other subgenre names here) under Stoner. It's waaay to hard to differentiate between them all, and explaining the differences to someone hearing this type for the first time is daunting. I also feel like some of the more experimental metal bands like Isis and Neurosis should get a mention, too, despite not being "strictly" part of the subgenre.

IMO, the Stoner genre has given us some of the most satisfying music over the last two decades. Huge, fat, fuzzy riffs, coupled with the psychedelic feel of the late 60's/early 70's and the "screw the standard song structure" feel of jazz. I have tons of respect for bands like Kyuss and Karma to Burn who can keep albums interesting with half the material being instrumentals.

Some favs:
Kyuss
Karma To Burn
Mammoth Volume
Corrosion of Conformity
Sloth
High on Fire
Orange Goblin
Electric Wizard (maybe the heaviest band ever)
Down
Cathedral
Hermano

I prefer not to because I don't really like Stoner (except for Electric Wizard) and I like other forms of Doom.
