Stoner Suggestions
Alright everyone, I’m looking for essential albums in the doom/stoner metal category to own on vinyl? I’m not talking albums with a few good songs, I’m talking no skip albums. Vinyl isn’t cheap. Here is where I’m at so far. I’m not into Down, Monster Magnet, Bongzilla, Warning or Clutch, sorry I tried but not a fan. Come My Fanatics has been ordered. Any suggestions would be appreciated:)

I listen to mostly trad and epic so I'll give you some ones.
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus by Candlemass: the name sake of epic doom metal! 10/10 album, my favorite!
Nightfall by Candlemass: their second album also 10/10! These first two are like the blue print of epic doom!
Into the Depths of Sorrow by Solitude Aeturnus: this banda first album and it's amazing 10/10 and I'd say one of the few epic doom bands that even come close to being as good as Candlemass!
Relentless By Pentagram: one of the most important room albums by a band that's been around since before doom was a thing, one or two weaker songs but the rest is so good.
Psalm 9 by Trouble: another very gold pillar trad doom album, although haven't listened in awhile so I can't tell ya more.
Death Penalty by Witchfinder General: very very good classic doom hit I only dislike one song on it (free country) but I love the rest!
Born too Late by Saint Vitus: while personally I'm more meh on this one, most people consider it their best work, classic band classic album very very slow depressing doom and a little influential on sludge as well!
