I don''t hear much stoner rock on the radio or music channels, and I don''t often hear people mention stoner rock bands. So I just wanted to see if anyone here does listen to it. I''ve been listening to it for a little while now, and it''s one of my favorite forms of rock. For those of you unfamiliar with stoner rock, I''ll try giving a brief explanation. I can''t really describe the sound of it beyond saying that it uses distorted guitar sounds (think Jimmi Hendrix), but won''t necessarily be true for all stoner rock bands. I find that it works well for driving music; Fu Manchu is one band that sings about driving and cars. Some stoner rock bands are Fu Manchu, Atomic Bitchwax, Electric Wizard, and Kyuss. For more information, check out StonerRock.com.

The title of the music doesn''t appeal to someone who is sXe... so I''ll assume the music won''t either.

The name doesn''t mean that the bands are under the influence of drugs or that the music is for stoners. I''m straightedge and I still like the music.

If you want a song to try, listen to "Pure Rock Fury" by Clutch. I can''t help but dance along to it.

You can''t judge someone by what they put in their bodies. I listen to everything. As long as the lyrics are intelligent and the music is decent, I''ll listen to it. I doubt there are many bands out there today who''s members don''t enjoy the green stuff.

Yeah... I like Fu Manchu and Queens of the Stone Age... and as for those who complain about the name "stoner rock" isn''t it also classified as "doom metal" sometimes?

Heh, yeah, bet that makes it worse for as many people as it makes it better.

I''ve never heard that term before, but I can imagine it being applied to bands like Electric Wizard. Other names I''ve heard are heavy-psychedelia and dessert rock.

If you're willing to take a little bit of time, my stoner sci-fi rock band, Solar EXtract, has a couple of FREE MP3's at my website. You may be pleasantly surprised, let me know.
