I’m so glad there are so many others out there that refused to give up the herb and hash, even when we had to "grow up and be responsible".
Some great suggestions already given, but I’ll second the already mentioned "Animals" by Floyd -- you got to be crazy not to enjoy Gilmour’s Strat on "Dogs". See what I did there? Another previously mentioned artist, Billy Thorpe, and his album "Children of the Sun" tripped me out the first time I heard it -- on headphones. If you know it, you know why.
I haven’t seen Robin Trower mentioned -- "Bridge of Sighs" is a slab of vinyl just made for Lebanese Blonde on a pin under a glass. Add "Tales of Mystery and Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe" by Alan Parsons Project, ELP’s "Brain Salad Surgery", and "Nursery Cryme" by Genesis to the hash list.
A band that flew under a lot of stoner’s radar, unfortunately, was Mahogany Rush, led by guitarist Frank Marino. The 1972 debut, "Maxoom", 1976’s "Mahogany Rush IV", and 1979’s "Tales of the Unexpected", are prime for sharing a bong with friends. When I want to visit current offerings from Stoner bands my go to is any album by King Buffalo or Elder. Absolutely killer bands.
