My favorite stoner metal album has to be Sleep’s Dopesmoker. Unbelievably epic.
High on Fire’s Blessed Black Wings
Kyuss – Welcome to Sky Valley
Learned about these guys when I went to a Ween show in Austin like 20 years ago and QOTSA was the opener
All time favorite stoner metal record has to go to Kyuss- welcome to sky valley.
Kyuss – Welcome to Sky Valley

‘Blues for the Red Sun’ by Kyuss is my favorite.
Down NOLA not sure if it’s technically stoner metal but has a few good dope smoking songs
I’m new to stoner metal, but Sleep’s The Sciences is my all-time favorite album in this genre!
Weedeater’s “God Luck and Good Speed”
No Coss No Crown by Corrosion of Conformity
Sleep’s “Dopesmoker” obviously.
ELECTRIC WIZARD DOPETHRONE
Sleep-Dopesmoker
Melvin’s stoner witch!
My all time favorite stoner metal album is Witch’s self-titled album
Dopesmoker
Sleep, Dopesmoker
Electric Wizard – Dopethrone.
Probably Sleep-Dopesmoker
Sleep Dopesmoker
God luck and good speed by weedeater
My favorite stoner metal album if all time is Wild Wonderful Purgatory from Karma to Burn.
It’s actually Sleep’s Holy Mountain :: that’s the one that meat-hooked me into the whole world. Whatta slab.
The Obsessed – The Church Within
Predictably Sleep, Holy Mountain. But I came back to that after going through Kyuss and the Melvins. Also need to add Gensho by Boris as a close second.
Electric Wizard ‘Come My Fanatics…’
Cathedral – Forest of Equilibrium is the go to blunt album.
Kyuss – And the Circus Leaves Town – it was my first time hearing Kyuss and the genre. That did it for me. \M/
Eyehategod — Confederacy of Ruined Lives.
Tie between Electric Wizard – Dopethrone and Saint Vitus – Born Too Late. One introduced me to the genre and the other rewrote and expanded it for me.
Kyuss – Welcome to Sky Valley
