Stoner rock generally has chugging bass lines, sludgy power-chord driven guitars and that retro-70's low-fi sound.

Black Sabbath is the mother of stoner rock. Kyuss perfected it. Stoner rock bands I love:

Kyuss
Fu Manchu
Queens of the Stone Age (1st two albums are probably the only ones I would classify as 'Stoner Rock')
Orange Goblin
Mondo Generator
The Dwarves
Clutch


Rock on...
