Lemmy said many times that they were the model for Motörhead and quite a few people have covered MC5 dongs so they've had quite a lasting influence. I guess on a guitar forum they'll be relatively well known, back in the real world they'd be considered obscure.
Fantastic if you like that sort of thing - a little heavier than At The Gates and other melodeath bands. Really cool music and vibe.
But here's a selection:
The Soft Boys
Here & Now
Black Angels
Circulus
Brian Jonestown Massacre
Wooden Shjips/ Moon Duo
Neu!
Wolf People
Dengue Fever
Broadcast
Mellow Candle
Levitation etc., etc.
I would add Gong, Hawkwind (pre-1979!), MC5, Spacemen3, Robyn Hitchcock and The Church, but I think they are pretty well-known too, although not to people I work with, haha.
There's a lot of obscure stoner rock bands I'm into who I've found via YouTube.
Bang
Mayblitz
Crushed Butler
Captain Beyond
Buffalo
Bodkin
Medieval Steel
Warlord
Q5
Cirith Ungol
Holy Terror
Atheist
Sa Slayer
Trespass
Mind Over 4
Amebix
Dr Shrinker
And recent bands
Torture chain
Mgla
Stone Dagger
In Solitude
Warning
An essex based band who self-published a superb album called "Sobgod", which still gets loads of airtime at home.
My feedback thread is here.

I'll have to check if they're right....
A couple of those bands are hugely influential and couple have links to other very well known bands, Stone Dagger however have so far only one the one demo tape which was then released on 7".
Have you heard Sir Lord Baltimore? ...And High tide-Sea shanties LP? Id imagine you have, but if not, they're great albums and would be right up your street i reckon.
Just to be a bit of a smartarse, I'll say it. Mr Floyd Rose. Great first album, horrendous second album (IMO, of course).
For what it's worth, I must admit I've only heard of seven or eight of the bands on your list. None of the recent ones.
Adorable - albums out of print, not on iTunes. Largely forgotten and overlooked early 90's indie band who were dropped by Creation. Against perfection remains one of my favourite albums.
