Hmm, in the vein of Pentagram, there was a band called "Lucifer Was" in the 70s. They are kinda like Black Sabbath meets Jethro Tull.
Have you listened to much Saint Vitus or the Obsessed? Wino's original bands. "Born too Late" and "V" are awesome Saint Vitus albums, the only Obsessed album I love is "The Church Within" but it's wicked!
Pearls & Brass: Very Clutch esque... don't know how easy it is to find their stuff.
Monster Magnet: Specifically the "25...tab" album. I heard it was the stuff that was too drawn out/trippy for the first album. Which was drawn out/trippy on it's own, so you know thats good!
Acrimony: I'm pretty sure they are Welsh... I forget though. Doom metalish, really big on Sleep.
Witchfinder General: If you like Pentagram, you'll like these guys, very similar... great lyrics too, "Look out for me... lets trip on LSD."
Deep 
at least you know they are stoner rock.
First of all this band's website is awesome. Their music is equally great...I'll definitely be getting into these guys. Good one, thanks!nad said:

I have "Incarnate" by the Obsessed, which is pretty rad. I have one track fom "The Church Within" Blind Lightning, which is good...I'll have to pick up the whole record. I'm ashamed to say I never got into St. Vitus...sounds like it's about time.
Witchfinder General RULES! Haven't listened to them in a while though.
I'll check out the other bands too, thanks Matt!

Colour Haze rocks. I own two of their albums. I've seen 'm live a couple of times as well, over here in Belgium. They've got very nice gigs!
Anyone into BigElf?
I listened to a few clips opn their site and they sound pretty good. They have a kinda theatric sounding approach to psychedilic doom. I'm curious to hear more

I love the Hidden Hand! my Favorite Wino band!
Have you heard Place of Skulls?
Also check out Karma to Burn, Liquid Visions, Poseidotica, and Negative Reaction.
All of those bands can be found on Stonerrock.com
Oh man i am a huge fan of the stoner rock scene. I'd say my fav is definately Kyuss. Others would be Atomic Bitchwax, Fireball Ministry, Acid House, Fu Manchu, QOTSA, and Screaming Trees which is semi-stoner rock.

The plight of the Weedian People to get to the Riff-filled Land, that's pure class right there. 
Listening to the Melvins right now. Also been spinning a lot of Wino lately, Spirit Caravan in particular. Orange Goblin, more Colour Haze, and Kyuss of course.
I've been on a massive stoner kick for almost 2 years now, the only thing that really shakes me from it is Pearl Jam, Neurosis, and Meshuggah.

I wouldn't count Neurosis out....Times of Grace is WOW whilst on chemicals.....

Djee... Listen some more to 'Through the Eyes of Heathens'. It isn't straight stoner anymore but that's what it makes a better album!
Dopesmoker/Jerusalem fans should check out YOB. Awesome sonic doom...I got their newest EP recently. Reminds me of later Sleep mixed with Isis. Very dense and epic sounding. Good stuff. Invalid Link Removed
