best stoner music

[datasuspect]

what is your favorite stoner rock/song?

[MoseyWalker]

1. I think it was Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun

Pink Floyd, of course

My vote for other didn't show up, but when I went back to try to do it again, it said I had already voted. so. Add one to "other" when the poll is finished.

[Popol Vuh]

5. Ahhh yes....Set the Controls

for the Heart of the Sun. Clicky

:)

[catbert836]

40. What about "Careful With That Axe, Eugene"?

Delightfully creepy. I'd get stoned to either of those songs any day.

[CabalPowered]

76. I just caught a Widespread Panic show and they played that!

The night that Syd died. It was a great rendition. :thumbsup:

[Taverner]

2. And if you see your mother today, can ya tell her I said

SATAN
SATAN
SATAN
SATAN

Loaf all the way

[Popol Vuh]

3. I am with MoseyWalker on this one.

Pink Floyd, of course. But going off your list, its Jimi Hendrix.

[datasuspect]

4. do you like soft machine?

kinda pink floydy at times, but more prolific and tripped out.

[Popol Vuh]

9. To be honest

I haven't heard of Soft Machine. But if they're Pink Floydy and more tripped out sounding. I'd probably like them.

I'll check them out next time I buy more music.. :)

[jpgray]

17. Be careful--can't just buy anything Soft Machine

The most like Floyd (and that's early Floyd) would be their first two albums. Anything after that is going to be jazz fusiony, with mixed results.

[asthmaticeog]

6. May I submit something of a more recent vintage?

Any of Oneida's albums are of the type to do the job for altered individuals.



Not exactly classic stoner/doom, but definitely psychedelic, in an eccentric way.

[seemunkee]

7. Tangerine Dream

Ricochet or Stratosfear

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. Atlantic Bridges is better

-but only because it has my favorite TD tune- TimeSquare.

Rockoon is pretty great, too.

[Gatchaman]

8. Fu Manchu, Fireball Ministry, sHEAVY

Just a few great "stoner metal" bands. These guys listened to waaaay too much Black Sabbath when they were kids, and I, for one, am forever grateful that they did.

If you've heard that song by Wolfmother, you've got a basic idea of what these bands sound like, but they are all much better than the MTV stuff like Wolfmother and The Sword.

[MrSlayer]

54. How about Orange Goblin?

Pretty good stoner shit there too.

[Blue_In_AK]

10. I like Hendrix

but Country Joe and the Fish were my favorites for serious tripping or the Moody Blues.

[Jackson Roykirk]

13. Timothy Leary's Dead or...

In a gadda da vida ,baby

[Blue_In_AK]

14. How many times did we listen to that relic?

:rofl: What does that MEAN anyway???

[LanternWaste]

44. Don't hold me to this...

I was told one time that Inna Gogga Da Vidda was simply a very bad take in the recording studio that everyone loved. It was supposed to be "In the garden of Eden, baby...".

Don't hold me to it, though. It's just hearsay from an acid burnout I used to work with...

[Lilith Velkor]

12. Beatles - the White Album - n/t

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

15. Hendrix is awesome

[Benfea]

16. "Dimension Hatross" by Voivod

It's a concept album, and just reading a synopsis of the story told in the album makes ya feel kinda trippy. "You see, this dude is born in a particle accelerator and then he visits these tribal dudes and..."

Well, see for yourself.

[jpgray]

18. Can is tops for stoners

[Mz Pip]

19. Led Zeppelin

How could you leave off Led Zeppelin????

"Good Times, Bad Times", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" Can't get much better than that.

Or the Doors "When the Music's Over... turn out the lights."

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Jack from Charlotte]

34. Hence the name.... Led for your head. (nt)

*

[IndyBob]

20. Pink Floyd

Dark Side of the Moon works for this old stoner.

[wildhorses]

21. of course Jimi is always good....for a change of pace

Joe Satriani or Robin Trower...maybe a little Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Moody Blues and Quicksilver Messenger Service:shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

25. Good ones...

Remember "Bridge of Sighs" in the movie "Rush"? What a perfect mood-setter.

[Throd]

22. City on Flames with Rock-n-Roll

By Blue Oyster Cult.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

31. Hells yes.

"My heart is black, and my lips are cold..."

[martymar64]

48. Stairway to the Stars

Think I'll write Good Health to You!

[sakabatou]

23. "Ina Godda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly

[idgiehkt]

24. The End -- The Doors

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CafYe94wI4&search=The%20Doors%20The%20End

I just watched about 10 seconds and I already feel stoned.

[Redneck Socialist]

26. C'mon man, Jerry and the boys of course

:smoke:

[Stardust]

64. Did you see the Happy Birthday tribute to Jerry on C&L? Beautiful//

[MrScorpio]

27. Later Beatles tunes

Very stonerish

[bridgit]

28. before i vote...which drug?

:shrug:

[Deep13]

37. "stoner" usually implies marijuana.

But hey, who can say for sure.

[Deep13]

38. Rocky Mountain Way--Joe Walsh

[Blue_In_AK]

45. Oh - I was thinking psychedelics

when I made my selections. But they work for pot, too. :hippie:

[bridgit]

56. then please god just not 'hotel california' i hate that fucking song...

x( but here's a clue fer'ya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNRwCPMRGYE&search=band%20of%20gypsies :hippie:

[datasuspect]

67. pot, acid, beer

leave "best cocaine music" for another poll.

[CanuckAmok]

29. Sleep's Holy Mountain, Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun, Swans - Holy Money

[swag]

30. Stranglers "Black and White"

[sendero]

52. Or even better..

... "Meninblack", if you are stoned enough :)

[swag]

57. Yeah, that's pretty good after a few heavy-duty bong hits when

your brain is still relatively virgin territory.

The first six Stranglers studio albums were big with me during my formative marijuana years.

[sendero]

75. They are classics..

... well underappreciated by the American audience :)

[NMMNG]

32. Pink Floyd- Animals (Entire album)

[catbert836]

39. That's special.

I would have thought that that particular album is far too brooding for a normal stoning. Unless, of course, you're taking LSD and want to have a bad trip.

Not that I'm a stoner, but if I were to be one, I'd say I'd use "Meddle" by the same band- especially Echoes.

[Blue_In_AK]

46. No, the best one of all is

Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

[datasuspect]

68. that is the only pink floyd i can listen to

i know the rest of their stuff is supposed to be sacred, but . . .

[NMMNG]

58. The lyrics aren't all that important--it's the music

Once upon a time my friend and I listened to the Cure quite a bit when blazing up. There was one particular song that I'd heard several times when suddenly I realized...."This song has words in it????". My friend thought that was a real laugh riot. :rofl:

[NC_Nurse]

51. Pink Floyd - any

no contest.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

33. You forgot Donovan in your poll

I mean come on!

Where Your Love Like Heaven

Color and sky brush and blue
Scarlet fleece changes you
Crimson ball sinks from view

Wear your love like heaven
Wear your love like heaven
Wear your love like heaven

Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Kiss me once more
So I may, so I may

Wear my love like heaven
Wear my love like heaven
Wear my love like heaven

Color sky heaven alic
Color sky rose carithe
Arisari and crimson

Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Kiss me once more
So I may, so I may

Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Kiss me once more
So I may, so I may

Cannot believe what I see
All I have wished for will be
All of our race proud and free

Lord kiss me once more
Fill me with song
Kiss me once more
So I may, so I may

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Remember "Legend of a Girl Child Linda"?

I loved that one since it's my name.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

49. Oh yeah, that's great one!

[datasuspect]

69. Atlantis?

The continent of Atlantis was an island
which lay before the great flood
in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
those beautiful sailors journeyed
to the South and the North Americas with ease,
in their ships with painted sails.

To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea
miles.
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian
culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the
Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah

[HughBeaumont]

73. Yeah, and every time I hear this song, WHAT do I think of?

Billy Batts getting double teamed by Tommy DeVito and Jimmy Conway!

[WoodyTobiasJr]

81. I guess it's safe to say that all Donovan songs are stoner music

Donovan's awesome


Celia Of The Seals

Should you wander this land to the North,
And few seldom do,
Should you follow the song of the gull
To enchanted western isles,
Coax a fisherman to take you out
Where the silky seals are seen,
Hear the stories that they tell about
The maiden who is their queen,
The maiden who is their queen.

Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals.
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"

Seal hunters are not brave and bold,
They murder her poor wee seals
And cut off their skins to be sold,
Cursed be he who deals.
There's no reason for this slaughtering,
They're left on the rocks to bleed
He's not a man who does this thing,
It's a cruel and a heartless deed,
A cruel and a-heartless deed.

Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals.

Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
She knows just how they feel,
Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
Celia of the seals,
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay"
"Voyna, voyna, voyna, voyna voyna vay


Mellow Yellow

I'm just mad about Saffron.
A-Saffron's mad about me.
I'm-a just mad about Saffron.
She's just mad about me.

They call me Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow.

I'm just mad about Frontine.
A-Frontine's mad about me.
I'm-a just mad about-a Frontine.
A-She's just mad about me.

They call me Mellow Yellow.
They call me Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow.

Born-a high forever to fly.
Wind-a velocity nil.
Born-a high forever to fly.
If you want your cup, I will fill.

They call me Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow.

So mellow yellow..

Electrical banana

Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase.

They call it Mellow Yellow,
Quite rightly.
They call me Mellow Yellow,

They call me Mellow Yellow.

[HughBeaumont]

35. Song would be Sweet Leaf, although Sweat Loaf is a fitting tribute.

Album - Dopesmoker by Sleep. 63 minutes of bong-bath dirge.

Groups - Gong, Black Sabbath, Butthole Surfers, Hawkwind, Bongzilla, Sleep, Electric Wizard, Church of Misery, Sunn o)))), Melvins, Khanate, Jesu, 500 Ft of Pipe, Captain Beyond, Spaceboy and High on Fire's first albums, Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed and Operator Generator.

[datasuspect]

70. hawkwind

yes.

wow. long time since i heard that name.

i remember at least two years ago, some radio station in chicago had an overnight (i think 2-4 am) where they played progressive/drug music.

the announcer came on after a few songs and said "that is probably one of the few times you will ever hear hawkwind and tyrannosaurus rex back to back on chicago radio."

[Jack from Charlotte]

36. Cream... specifically.... "White Room," which is......

the best song ever recorded. Clapton's little slow moving solo toward the end is unsurpassed.

[datasuspect]

71. SWLABR

she walks like a bearded rainbow. good guitar track on that one too.

[Ron Green]

41. Blind Faith n/t

[IronLionZion]

42. Pink Floyd - anything EOM

[livetohike]

43. Any Hendrix - it all still sounds good

:-). Try "1983: A Merman I Should Be" from Electric Ladyland.

[Elidor]

50. EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!

My god, I thought I was the only person in the world who likes that song. Usually when I mention it, people go "huh?" The extended psychedelic improv section more than makes up for the incredibly sappy lyrics. Some of Hendrix's very best work.

These days, I like my trippy music a bit lighter and less grungy:


Eclipse: a Journey of Permanence & Impermanence, by various artists (almost all of the groups having Simon Posford in them)

[livetohike]

80. I love 1983 - always have

:-). It never gets any radio play and I have lived all over the US. I have heard "Hey Joe" more times than I can count though and it is my least favorite Hendrix song.

[njdemocrat106]

63. I think "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" would be appropriate

I've never smoked weed, however, so what do I know?

[datasuspect]

72. voodoo child - 16 minute version

i float in liquid gardens
in jupiter's sulphur mines,
way down by the methane seas.

THAT is the coolest lyric i have heard woven into a blues song.

[livetohike]

79. It's been a long time since I've smoked pot but

Voodoo Child and 1983 always get me high when I listen to them. I get lost in the lyrics and the music :-).

[MrSlayer]

53. Led Zeppelin I is great stoner music.

"Dazed and Confused" makes you feel high even when you aren't.

[Strawman]

55. Oh and by the way if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her

SATAN! SATAN! SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!

[grannylib]

59. Robin Trower...

"Bridge of Sighs"
headphones...waterbed...doobies....incense...classic.
:smoke:

[On the Road]

60. Dragonfly, Jefferson Starship

Very head-trippy, full of space imagery and soaring harmonies.

[JVS]

61. Get Isao Tomita's album of Debussy's music done on sythesizers

If you've ever heard the credit music for the PBS show "Star Gazer" with Jack Horkheimer that's the Arabesque from the album. The name of the album is "Snowflakes are Dancing"

[taught_me_patience]

62. Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow

Funkadelic. Definately some serious stoner music.

[RoyGBiv]

65. Floyd ...

Just ... Floyd.

[HuskerDU]

66. Black Sabbath's 'Planet Caravan' always sets me in the

right mood. Also Muddy Waters' 'Champaign and Reefer' and the entire album 'Eat a Peach' by the Allman Brothers. And once in a while the trippy shit on the first few Meat Puppets albums.

[billyskank]

74. The whole 'Headhunters' album

Brilliant when sober, exquisite when baked. :smoke:

[CabalPowered]

77. Widespread Panic's Everyday

Pleas, Hatfield, Pickin' up the Pieces, Pilgrims, all great tunes.

[liberalpress]

78. Ummm. what?
