So, I started getting high a few years ago...
Was never massively into Cannabis until I discovered vaporising and edibles.

Over the years weed has definitely influenced my tastes in music.
I mainly used to listen to hip hop and some metal but recently I've found my taste changing.

I've always liked Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss but have had a real urge to listen to more of this kind of stuff.

I'm looking for something a bit more chilled, not as loud, but music that sounds like it belongs in the desert. I like blues tinged music and impressive guitar work. Don't mind if it gets a bit psychedelic either so long as it's quite 'rocky'. Basically I waht to get high and feel like I'm driving around in the desert...

To give you an idea of other bands that I like (but aren't stoner rock/metal)

Led Zeppelin
The Black Keys
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The White Stripes
Jimi Hendricks
Wolfmother
Tool

I love Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss as well.

Any good recommendation?

 

[Ultima_5]

Does Dinosaur Jr count?

Regardless everyone should listen to more dinosaur jr.

 

[Laieon]

Some of these aren't necessarily metal, but I think they fit the bill anyway based on what you like.

Arctic Monkeys
Hevisaurus
The Decemberists
Coheed and Cambria
Cage the Elephant
Led Zeppelin
Moon Taxi
Protomen
Them Crooked Vultures (Especially since you like QOTSA)

 

[Camp Lo]

You don't want any SKA? No 311? No The Supervillians?

 

[Mistel]

Shpongle. Not that I've actually gotten high.

 

[runningjoke]

My favourite band right now is Clutch, does get loud with the latest album but earlier stuff better fits your description

 

[kris.]

Church of Misery
Electric Wizard

Electric Wizard has fucking powers, man. listen to that song with some amazing headphones and just feel the fuzz surround you.

 

[Carcetti]

Monster Magnet

 

[wilder.Boy]

I'll suggest:

Fu Manchu - pure stoner rock

and The Brew - awesome lose rock

 

[Ultima_5]

You don't want any SKA? No 311? No The Supervillians?

ooooooo

bomb the music industry
operation ivy
arrogant sons of bitches
the specials
streetlight manifesto
the expendables
mustard plug


though none of that stuff is really what the OP is looking for

Yeah was thinking of getting into Clutch next as heard they're pretty good.
Any albums in particular that you'd recommend since they have a few.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I can't really stand to listen to them anymore but there is Electric Wizard, they're more like industrial stoner metal but I think they're kind of intense. They're like a really twisted version of black sabbath.

Also there is this other neat band called Sleep, not a very unique name but they've got this awesome tune.

[Dark Octave]

It's not hard metal or anything but one of my favorite songs of all times. Definitely stoner though.

Don't Fear the Reaper- Blue Öyster Cult .

I do actually like Dinosaur Jr, not sure that they count but good band though.

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

You don't want any SKA? No 311? No The Supervillians?

Man, SKA and Dub are so fucking good while high. Much better than rock in my opinion.

 

[Ultima_5]

Did you check out the new album Jeff just released with that guy from fake problems? Just came out the other day or so I believe

 

[Alucrid]

[EatChildren]

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone a quintessential doom/stoner metal album. Essential listening.

http://reallyrecords.bigcartel.com/product/jeff-rosenstock-is-gettin-me-stoked-shirt

Really records is his new record label thing. pretty sure the shirts were made to order. I'm sure he will have more in the near future as the sites only been around for a little bit. I ordered vacation on vinyl from them too. Guessing it's being run out of his apartment.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Morning Telepprtation. Produced by Isaac Brock and combines the best aspects of psychedelic, indie, and general insanity.

Check our their whole album too. Probably my favorite album ever.

Don't Fear the Reaper- Blue Öyster Cult .

Agreed. This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Funnily enough I've never listed to any of their other stuff. Is it all good?

 

[Facism]

Earthless - Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky is pretty good. 3 tracks, about 45 minutes long.

[JimiNutz]

Shit, maybe we should check it out, they might be brilliant.
It's crazy that I like that song so much but never bothered to try our any of their other stuff...

 

[ComputerBlue]

Dark Side of The Moon

The Doors

Loads of great psychedelic rock, just check out youtube, you'll find plenty of great music in the genre.

Ahn, Jurrich.

Yes, this is the blog I write for NutJobJim.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Check out desert sessions by Josh Homme. It's exactly the vibe you're looking for.

Other than that butthole surfers and some Tom Waits may do the trick.

 

[squidhands]

Yeah was thinking of getting into Clutch next as heard they're pretty good.
Any albums in particular that you'd recommend since they have a few.

I second Dozer. The lead singer for Clutch guests on the Beyond Colossal album.

Also, Open Hand is a great band that fits into what you're looking for. Criminally unnoticed.
Hard Night

 

[omgkitty]

No mention of Tame Impala? For shame!
