Pink Floyd

California Girls and Good Vibrations - Beach Boys

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

[Smoker29]

One of the coolest experiences I ever had was with The Beatles.

It was Within You Without You.

R.I.P. George.

I could see the music and could pick out all of the layers of the song one by one. I was like a living mixing console.

[classicgrrl]

I was a straight-edger....

actually I was incredibly un popular and had no friends but this doesnt sound near as cool does it?

classic

[classicgrrl]

Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues

[classicgrrl]

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

[shivui]

got that cheeba cheeba
luke vibert

[Murphy]

Rainy Day Women #12 & #35 Bob Dylan ( if we're talking about song about pot)

And if we're talking about what to listen to while stoned, man, my list would be long but off the top of my head, a good album is
Ultramarine - every man and woman is a star
"I've got lights in my brain..."

[shivui]

ooh almost forgot...

storm the legion
!!!

i myself don't smoke the weed

[LouP]

"Vinnie's Hooch" -Johnny Socko

Lou Pickney
Tampa, FL
LouPickney.com

[Merkaba]

See you auntie..

[foolsgold]

...but I didn't inhale.

But....if I did, accidentally, at a snowboarding party, my votes would be:

Foolsgold - Stone Roses
Cop Shoot Cop (or, really anything by Spiritualized or Spaceman 3)
Any shoegaze (Mmmm Sigur Ros)
Jesus and Mary Chain


Really, anything that is dense, layer and thick as lead...

[MissKitty]

"Drugs" -Terminal Cheesecake
"Wouldn't Have Did What I Did If I Hadn't Been High"- Duke Tumatoe
"Stone Me"-Wire Train
"Weed Bus"-The Stairs
"Feel Good Hit of The Summer"-Queens of The Stone Age
"Let's Go Smoke Some Pot"-Dash Rip Rock

And pretty much anything by Hawkwind hits the spot...

[weezer6]

hands down, my number one stoner tune is.............

maggot brain - funkadelic


the first time i heard it, i was taking a nap w/ the radio playing, and the tune came on. i started waking up in the middle of it, it is about 10 minutes long, and i think the song itself stoned me out. oddly enough, i have never heard it while stoned. i have cranked it up and laid on the floor in my living room, vegged out, on numerous occasions.

old black sabbath is not too shabby in the altered state, either.

[yoyo]

Don't smoke, BUT know what would sound good...

The Cure (the entire cd of) The Top
Cypress Hill - natch!
Deadicated (grateful deard remakes)
Dre

[pathogen.b]

Redman - How to roll a blunt

[MissKitty]

Pato Banton- "Don't Sniff Coke" (with the fab refrain "I do not sniff the coke, I only smoke marajuana...")
Bob Marley- "Kaya"
Peter Tosh- "Legalize It"
Dada- "I Get High"
Tooba Blooz (and many others)- "The Vipers Drag"

[goodlovin']

The whole Sublime 40 oz. album
ie.
Smoke 2 joints
Let's go get stoned
Badfish

Random side note- try watching MTV muted with a cd playing when you're stoned- it's so odd to see the videos play to the music on the cd

[vicious]

it's been a good long time, but i'll list what i remember enjoying, i think.

stoned with friends:
smashing pumpkins - gish, siamese dream
built to spill - perfect from now on
pavement - crooked rain
otis redding
ween - chocolate and cheese

stoned with family:
black sabbath - war pigs
led zepplin II and IV
jimi hendrix - axis: bold as love, band of gypsies

[Quark]

I was coming onto this board to find out who did the acoustic version of "Baby one more time" and could not resist dropping in on this thread.
I may have stopped smokin' (Oh OK, I've stopped buying!) but I remember what songs jumped out at me when I was altitudinally enhanced. Most of what stood out was older as I stopped noticing songs about pot when they stopped being tabu.
As for what to listen to when high, any good music is great for a buzz and quite a bit of bad music too!
As for songs about pot, here are a few classics you may not know of;

I Got Stoned and I Missed It - Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
Don't Bogart Me - Fraternity of Man (on Easy Riders soundtrack)
Henry - New Riders of the Purple Sage (My Favorite! about a truck driver who makes a weed run to Mexico for all the hippies back home!)

Those are a few off the top of my head. Check 'em out if you can. They're a lot of fun!

And thanks Slow Dog! It's good of you to remind everybody that we are talking about something that's against the law. Just because the cops don't usually bother the common stoner, it's still utter bulls**t that they have that option if they feel like it!
Click the link and raise some hell! It's the Rock-n-Roll way!

[indymike3872]

Anything sounds good

[MrApples]

Get up stand up or Time. Where's the culture gone to these days...

Gah, I was about to say !!!

I can't say I smoke too often at all (three times a year maybe?) but I would probably be a total trip to spin around to !!!.

[chicodaman]

It's been a long time, but here goes:

Janes Addiction - Sumertime Rolls
Pink Floyd - Time, Comfortably Numb
Led Zepplin - Going To California
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Timothy Leary - You Can Be Anything This Time Around (this song is sooo intense, best when really, really high)

[Makeshift]

Elliott Smith-Everything Means Nothing to Me
Cave In- Anything from the album 'Jupiter'

[Uncle Perv]

Alan Parsons Project - I Robot

Kraftwerk - Computer World <- This one used to fuck me up so bad I had to pull the car over.

Disclaimer: I don't smoke that shit anymore, but if you wanna, go ahead. Just stay out of my Oreos.

[yvette7ica]

I plead the 5th amendment...but if I had....

Eric Clapton's accoustic Classical Gas
Camina Burana-the first piece that's in all kinds of movies
Anything by Frank Zappa
Monkees the Head album
Art Bell


What's also fun, whether your stoned or not...watch Night of the Living Dead with the sound turned off with Mr. Bungle as the soundtrack...very interesting...

I had that same experience! The different kinds of drums and instruments were different levels of the spirit world talking to each other.

[coreyhemp]

I can't believe no one's mentioned the KRS-ONE song, "I'm a blunt getting smoked and I can't wake up". That song is wonderful, hearing him talk about dreaming about being a blunt.

Everlast took a pull and passed me to Cypress Hill
Cypress Hill took a pull, lungs are full
Who's next? I'm bein passed to Das EFX
As they took a mad pull, smoke blows in heaps
It's really smoky but I can still see Black Sheep
Whoa! Black Sheep gets me, relights me
Room is proper, now I'm passed off to Shabba
Shabba's voice gets low like a tuba
He said, "Me no folllow no rumor" and passed me to Grand Puba
I wasn't burnin right so Puba got mad at me
And said, "Who rolled this?" and passed it to Kid Capri
Kid Capri said, "I won't front!
Pass it to Redman, he knows how to roll a blunt"
Redman said, "No need to re-roll"
He hit, relit it, and passed me to De La Soul
De La Soul took a hit and kept hittin
Now they're buggin cause they passed me to Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton said, "I'll smoke but I won't inhale
I'll only hit it twice," he got slapped by Greg Nice
Now I fell on the floor, Greg Nice picked me up
I'm bein smoked and I can't wake up
Everlast took a pull and passed me to Cypress Hill

I would also reccommend sigur Ros, Pink Floyd - Animals (or any actually) and Flaming lips - Soft Bulletin (like someone else said, really loud!!!!)

[LiceKrispy]

The one that seems trippiest to me is "Tomorrow Never Knows" (by the Beatles.)

In addition, I'll second that Monkees "Head" album (but you should see the movie first) and add two of their others, "Headquarters" and especially "Pisces Aquarious Capricorn & Jones, Ltd." But of course, nothing beats Pink Floyd and the Beatles. That stuff was made for that stuff.

[mongoose]

I used to make whole tapes that were good to listen to stoned, but then I was stoned all the time anyway.

A couple that stand out:
Desert Kisses - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Butthole Surfers - 1st song on Hairway to Steven (or just about anything from their first few albums)
Skinny Puppy - Love
...ah now I'm drawing a blank, don't know why I wouldn't be able to remember any, hmmmm...

[hp1]

Smoking Pot in the Hot City
-Archers Of Loaf

[El Matador]

Who's got the herb?
Stealing happy hours
Hydroponic
My stoney baby

-lots o' 311, come to think of it

[motorcitysonics]

Didn' touch the stuff until I was 27 and now I love it, but rarely partake these days.


"Aquarius" by Boards Of Canada (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47B17DD49A57020C79D2F41D0A27CEA29D64C EE831F29461BDFBA3C54840979EF48FE8792FDFB75AB7BAAE0 2CA45A0B9FCBEC5CFDD86C393A9D8EDB&sql=10:nu3m967ogep1)

The song has nothing to do with pot, but it's just cool to listen to when altered.

[Buzzstein]

Morcheeba

[paranoidandroid]

uh what about that one song...you know the one that goes...mmmmm...errrrr....what's it called??

oh well probably any song you listen to while on your high horse is the best one. no?

[frizgolf]

I always wondered...
Is Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty a metaphor for quitting smoking? Or did it just hit (oof) me that way on a really good buzz?

[KaceySlater]

The Supersuckers - Non-Addictive Marijuana
Ween - Puffy Cloud

[coreyhemp]

For some reason hip hop beats just really get me when I partake. Lately it hasn't been too much, but sometimes it's still enjoyable.

I love some MADVILLAIN beats.....ahhhh

How about The orb's - Little Fluffy Clouds is great

[tobedawg]

Dash Rip Rock - "Let's go Smoke Some Pot"..


Or for the season, The Toyes - "Monster Hash"!!
