Atomic Rooster, The Moody Blues, Blue Öyster Cult, Flash, Cheech and Chong, Black oak Arkansas, CCR, Jimi, Janus, Jefferson Airplane, Foghat, REO, Mountain( this was a FM DJ's favorite Nantucket Sleighride @ 31+minutes, as long as the record didn't skip you were set to take nap, lol.) and so many many more.
At 55, I consider myself an old stoner. I think I've tried( and probably fried) every way there was to self medicate and had a lot of fun doing it. Marijuana, LSD, coca in all it's different flavors, opium in all it's different flavors, Lemmons/714, mushroom, cactus, barbital in all there different flavors, bensos in all there different flavors, and PCP once(that was enough).

Marijuana, LSD
If you had those two, it was ALL stoner rock. I did my share of "bungee jumping for the Id" back in the day.
Has anyone mentioned Hawkwind? Jaime Brockett - Remember the Wind and the Rain (still available but expensive) and John Manning. I think he only did one album (1971) good luck finding it or any mention of it.
I'm listening to Spirit- Twelve dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. It's one of my favorite CD from way back. It's to bad I never seen them. And I've seen a lot of good groups; Pink Floyd in 73 and 78, Kansas with L skyndard, Atomic Rooster in 1971, Alice Cooper in 1971 @ the Pepsi Colosseum @ Indianapolis, Uriah Hemp @ Tendal Armory 1972 Indianapolis, Kiss with Bob Seagar, talk about screwed a up line up, and so many more.
Just ask and I've probably seen them.

Well if you a big Grateful Dead Fan here is the 72 !!! CD set of the entire Europe 72 tour.

A David Crosby old song` Orleans ` in the new just cute remix : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKdMrNT3JSU
a much more challenging discussion would've been naming a 70s rock that's not 'stoner'.
You are right.
Abba.
Carpenters.
Captain & Tennille.
The Partridge Family.
And some would debate even those. A lot would depend on the stoner in question.
Here's one not-perfect list of 70s rock bands:

Mountain "Climbing" (Mississippi Queen album) "Nantucket Sleghride"
Jefferson Airplane "Surrealistic Pillow"
Wishbone Ash "Wishbone Ash", "Pilgrimage"
Country Joe and the Fish - (self titled)

And for the record; "It's A Beautiful Day" had three albums as It's a Beautiful day; First one (original white bird album), "Marrying Maiden" & "Choice Quality Stuff/Anytime". I have all three plus pretty much whatever else I ccould find (Patty Santos crap etc.)
Oh and "Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder" got featured whenever Nikki Hopkins sat in with Quicksilver.

Someone, i think it was Zen-Mod, mentioned MAGMA at the beginning of this thread and i would like to point to one of their best pieces, currently available at youtube.
It is Part 3 of the Theusz Hamtaahk-Trilogy and it is called Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh.
http://youtu.be/61cIieQOdac
All 3 Parts are available on DVD. Excellent stuff!
Some info about Magma:
