So what you think of the list so far, dear readers? A bit of a bumpy start, but I think it's coming along nicely.
We've now made it to The Mushroom River Band, a hard rock/stoner/whatever band which featured the powerhouse vocals of Christian "Spice" Sjöstrand, also of Kayser and Spice & The RJ Band, and previously of Spiritual Beggars whom he left to devote his time to The Mushroom River Band full time.
Didn't quite work out that way, as the band split up after his their second album. A damn shame as in my opinion this kicks the arse of anything Spiritual Beggars have ever done. A lot of the material on here could've easily been taken from Spiritual Beggars' 2000 album Ad Astra (which is not only their best album but also their last with Spice) only even better.
Even louder, even heavier, even more attitude, ever more hard-as-rock anthems that stink to high heaven of diesel, beer and bongwater. All topped off with Spice's godly pipes. I could marry a pair of vocals chords, I'd pick his. It saddens me that The Mushroom River Band never made another record, as they could've taken off big time.
Oh well, at least we still have Spice & The RJ Band which carry the torch nicely.

Well, I've just heard Machine Head's and Probot's albums these days, thanks to your recommendations. Pretty, pretty good. I can't wait to know the rest.
