Monster Magnet came crawling out of Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1989 with Dave Wyndorf on vocals and guitar, John McBain on guitar and Tim Cronin on vocals and drums, and the lineup has shuffled ever since around the one fixed point: Wyndorf. What he wanted was rock as a trip, all fuzz, swirl and cosmic swagger, riffs slow and heavy enough to feel like weather, and he got it. Along with Masters of Reality, Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Sleep, they get the credit for inventing and spreading the gospel of stoner rock.

Dopes to Infinity, in 1995, brought "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", a riff-heavy space-age blast with Ed Mundell's guitar squalling like a ray gun. Powertrip, in 1998, took the swagger to stadium size with "Space Lord", a big, leering, fist-in-the-air stomper, and God Says No followed in 2000 with "Silver Future". Those two '90s hits are still the band's calling cards, but Wyndorf has kept the ship flying for decades, through 11 studio albums and counting.
