the "genres" of stoner metal, sludge, and post-metal all seem to bleed/flow together at various times so playing metal bartender, i've cooked up this list of albums those interested in the genres can use as suggestions/starting points. this is just a basic primer with 25 albums... not a definitive list by any stretch. just albums i love. some are landmark releases that helped define the genre... while others are recent releases from cool bands that MS/labels have helped me uncover. Enjoy.

1.Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops

2.Baroness - Blue Record

3.Down - Nola

4.High On Fire - Death Is This Communion

5.Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun
