That is quite the list. I've always enjoyed Whitesnake.

Big fan of both Red Fang and Uncle Acid. I'm digging back too, firing up some Witchfinder General today.

The lists of bass players and drummers are equally impressive. If there's one thing Coverdale knew, it was how to surround himself with exceptional musicians.

Electric Citizen is pretty bad ass too. I'd put them right up there.

I used to be into Electric Wizard but man they veered off into the deep end. They're more smack than stoner...

I hadn't heard Electric Citizen before but that tune is pretty killer...

You mentioned City Gardens, fun fact Jon Stewart used to bartend there back in the day when he was a struggling comedian. I actually read an interview where he talked about his time there.

Wore this tape OUT crusing Dodge street in the late 80's...

Stoner/Doom fans with an adversion to gruff vocals, or any vocals at all, should check out Bongripper from Chicago.

All these dudes work like regular IT jobs, and self record, produce and tour (throughout the world) on their own dime. They refuse to sign with a label to keep it their own despite labels lining up to sign them.

The Bongripper name is a spoof/nod to Sleep's Dopesmoker album.

EDIT: I actually have a pair of Bongripper sweatpants

Nanowar of Steel is the place to go for metal parodies.

One of the best newer bands is Nemophila out of Japan.

Lately I have been really getting into Vanden Plas, a prog metal outfit from Germany.

for me - Purple Sabbath, Martin era Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio Sabbath, Oz Sabbath, Dio. But it is all pretty close.

1 - 19 in order, left to right. Forbidden is omitted because I have never listened to the album in one go.

Draconian is an amazing mix of beautifully haunting clean vocals and brutal vocals.
