I'm a sucker for psychedelic rock and the crassly named Stoner Rock....I love bands from Spirit to Spacemen3 to Monster Magnet and Kyuss and the more recent fabulous Dead Meadow.

What psychedelic prog would you recommend?  are Brainticket the band for me?

Oh I adore PT   but I'm looking for something much heavier something that really pushes the boundries of psychedelica to the extreme!

If you like Kyuss, you'll probably like Hawkwind.

They don't get a lot more psychedelic than those 3!

Amon Duul II are excellent and yes im a little bit of a fan of Hawkwind, Infact I saw them a few months back and for the first time in years i was one of the youngest ones at the gig  

Hillage, Gong and Pink Floyd are all OK.

Ozric Tentacles sound brilliant ( How come i havn't heard any of theirs.. they seem to have a trillion albums too!)  What album do people recommend?  

I will investigate Vanilla Fudge too. But i really want to hear some Brainticket after reading the archives, especially their first album it looks right up my street.

Petra

From the Ozrics huge collection I would strongly recommend 'Erpland' 'Strangeitude' and 'Jurassic Shift'

All their albums after 'Pungent Effulgent'  - their first I think -  sound very similar, but in a good way . They are underated and pretty much self financed and promoted as far as I know.

Um, didn't he used to play for Gong...?

The Orb and System 7 are other Hillage related projects worth checking out.

Did I ever mention the fact I once played bass for the Ozrics...? Great band!

If you haven't spotted how psychedelic Hawkwind, Gong and Floyd are, then you just haven't got into the psychedelic thing quite heavily enough, I would humbly suggest

Then there's Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Pepper.

But I would guess that true psychedelia is a whole world away from "stoner rock" (I have no idea what that is - I'm lost with all these new terms).

Cert:

'Stoner rock' ?? Not familar with that myself, but I'm guessing its some kind of 'yoof' speak, some sort of nadsat for 'Psychedelia. Psychedelia is to difficult to say or to spell for todays kids.

Welcome.

Early Hawkwind, the first Soft Machine album, Steve Howe's former mid 60's group Tomorrow, (their biggest hit, My White Bicycle, has a touch Syd Barrett about it). Spirit's 12 Dreams Of Doctor Sardonicus (for American post-psychedelia). And from the last 10 years, Porcupine Tree (you know already) and the Welsh band Sons of Selina  - while the former are Floyd-like the latter Hawkwind-like (check out the Delerium Records label and their very cheap  sampler Pick'n'Mix which will supply a few extra band names). And I guess the US independent band Donnamatrix's first couple of albums (via www.waterw.com/~donnamx) have a new slant on psychedelia and heavy too.

Arzachel, The Cosmic Jokers, Eloy (Dawn), Pulsar (Halloween), Can (Tago Mago), Ash Ra Tempel (Debut), Annexu Quam, Algarnus Tradgard (Delyaed), Amon Duul 2 (Yeti).  I'm sure you've already listened to Brainticket  and of course, hawkwind, gong and floyd.  If you like Cottonwood Hill by brainticket, check out tago mago by can, both very f***ed up albums, IMO.

According to most of the PF websites I belong to, which have a huge percentage of members under the age of 20...  Pink Floyd is still the kings of "Stoner Rock".  I'm sure thats a title they are so proud of....

You are probably right there, but i have listened to a fair amount of Floyd, Gong and the Hurdy Gurdy man himself, i just want something different

Blacksword ..I'm not one of these 'yoofs' you talk of  but look at  http://stonerrock.com/home.asp . You will  probably hate it but what the hec!
