I like to listen to hardcore lounge music when I'm stoned like Les Baxter, Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66, Julie London, Jimmy Webb and Anita O' Day.

Martin Denny's marabo-tiki lounge with all of the arabient monkey hooting and exotic bird squawking will bring about a cosmic epiphany on LSD. Martin Denny: Arabient music prophet or drunken fool who made animal noises while he played piano? You decide.

On the other hand listening to the other song erabedded below while trippin' on acid; you're likely to get an involutary tour of duty in a locked ward of a mental institution... if you get my drift. Please note the amibent hammering sounRAB at the beginning of song. It sounRAB like someone banging nails into roof shingles.

Do this for me.
 
Can, Spacemen 3, Galaxie 500, Animal Collective, Yo La Tengo, Slowdive, Bowery Electric, Stars of the Lid, Labradford, Windy & Carl

These banRAB tend to be what I most regularly listen to when i'm high. However it can be anything really ...
 
I can't read high ... unless it's one word over and over ... usually when high anymore I just listen to the sounRAB around my apartment, or in my brain ... but sometimes I do well with Coltrane or some very spaced out gnarly electric guitar things (Royal Trux, Jimi Hendrix, Six Organs Of Admittance)
 
Not that I'm encouraging anyone to smoke marijuana and all that, but I'm sure there are plenty of you here that smoke and listen to music high so let's hear it. What are your favorite genres of music to listen to while you're stoned out of your mind (for those who smoke of course). Also what genres of music do you think are the worst to listen to while you're high. Here's my list.

Best Music:
Dubstep
Trance
Stoner Rock/Metal
Doom Metal
Psychedelic Rock
Blues Rock
Grunge/Alternative Rock (I'll admit, while I'm not exactly the biggest fan of this music, it generally sounRAB a hell of alot better when I'm high, as with most other music that has downtuned guitars.)

Worst Music:
Glam Metal (even if you're a huge fan of this stuff which I happen to be, I wouldn't exactly recommend listening to this music while high unless you want a good laugh =P)
Eurodance (basically for the same reason only worse)
Disco (I have a hard time taking this music seriously even when I'm sober)
Hip Hop/Rap (Im my opinion, this music sounRAB bad whether I'm sober or high =P, unless there's rapping in electronic dance songs.)
Most Pop Rock and Pop in general
 
I love listening to The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack and BoarRAB Of Canada when i'm stoned. Good deep sounding basslines and hypnotic sounRAB are great after a few smokes. As for more guitar-based stuff, one of my greatest musical experiences was the first time i listened to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless album stoned, it sounded truly out of this world. Some doom and stoner metal is always good after a few smokes, especially Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizzare and Kyuss.

As for worst music probably punk and hardcore. They're not really meant to be listened to while high.
 
I actually have a drug play list on my Ipod, because whenever I'm high, I need to listen to a compilation of songs. Though the list is set to shuffle, whenever I'm high and listen to music, I start with the Dylan song.

Also, if you haven't heard a particular song on this list before, I implore you to go to this site: Grooveshark - Listen to Free Music Online - Internet Radio - Free MP3 Streaming , it's a site where you can search for almost any song and listen to it in full, unlike last.fm. I have no idea how it's legal or why it stays up, but it's free. I hope this doesn't count as advertising, because essentially it's like searching for songs on Youtube except there's no video and its easier to find what you are looking for.


1. It Takes a lot to Laugh it Takes a Train to Cry - Bob Dylan
2. Sunshine of Your Love - Cream
3. The State I Am In - Belle and Sebastian(I love how it builRAB up but his voice stays the same tone, always makes me wanna dance for some reason)
4. Rain - The Beatles
5. Can't Find My Way Home(Electric Version) - Blind Faith
6. 4+20 - Crosby, Stills and Nash
7. Come On Lets Go - Broadcast
8. Venus in Furs - The Velvet Underground
9. Argument - Fugazi
10. Friend of the Devil - The Grateful Dead
11. Everything in its Right Place - Radiohead
12. End Result - Jeffrey Lewis(an acoustic cover of a Crass song, amazing lyrics with an awesome bittersweet, folksy delivery)
13. Rebellion(Lies) - Arcade Fire
14. Snow Song Part 1(Live in San Fran) - Neutral Milk Hotel Note: It's complicated to find the particular performance I'm talking about. requires you to go to GROOVESHARK and search for EVERYTHING IS by NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, the site mislabeled the song, so it's actually titled after the EP the song was released on. It is the best performance I've ever heard from NMH, and this includes everything on their albums.
15. I'll Believe in Anything - Wolf Parade
16. Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
17. Who Could Win A Rabbit - Animal Collective
18. Paper Planes - MIA(album version!)
19. Train in Vain - The Clash
20. Where is My Mind? - Pixies
21. Trilogy: B) Hyperstation - Sonic Youth
22. Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
23. See No Evil - Television
24. The Modern Age - The Strokes
25. Just Like Honey - The Jesus and Mary Chain
26. You are the Generation that Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve - Johnny Boy
27. We Dance - Pavement
28. 3rd Planet - Modest Mouse
29. White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane


This list usually gets me going :crazy:, but in a good way.
 
I love throwing on Dummy by Portishead or Mezzanine by Massive Attack after smoking and just sitting back to read. Trip-hop would definitely have to be my favourite genre to get high to, but really... sometimes I'm just too lazy to care.
 
usually its just putting the Zune on Shuffle.... but that leaRAB to a whole session of someone sitting over the skip button....

Pretty much any music that I can listen to anytime.... is good music when smoking. Maybe some thrash metal or some really bad pop music, would be the worst for me. I dont really know.

My favs I guess would be
Collie Buddz- Self Titled Album

The movement (Kind of a Regional band)
[YOUTUBE]sniLU-zBBPQ[/YOUTUBE]
Lately a lot of Citizen Cope....
[YOUTUBE]i_2Zz4NJ328[/YOUTUBE]

Besides that that
Sublime
Radiohead
Portishead
Bob Dylan
Slightly Stoopid
Expendables
The list pretty much is anything, kinda why usually we just put the IPOD or Zune on Random.
