Best music to be stoned to?

[UpsideDownFlag]

Poll question: Best music to be stoned to?

i should mention that i vote for The Doors.

Jim Morrison's voice has that nice, haunting effect.

[Rick Myers]

1. Marley outright, but...

Pink Floyd if you wanna get a bit depressed!!!

[vajraroshana]

18. "Wish You Were Here" isn't depressing to me...

but I can see how it might be.....

One of the greatest stoner albums......

[GainesT1958]

2. Can't help it...

When it comes to listening stoned, I'm a TRADITIONALIST!:eyes:

B-)

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. Anything played on the didgeridoo

[EstimatedProphet]

49. With digeridoo music you don't need to be stoned!

It does it for you
I was at a music and arts festival a few years ago and they had a performance act with a couple people wearing giant masks and a digeridoo. Both they and the music were very slow, and there seemed to be a pattern I noticed after a few minutes to the music, kind of a fugue that kept repeating, With no chemical aids, I kind of started tripping. Very weird.

[southpaw]

56. What up, skater bro?

[EnfantTerrible]

4. All of the above

:smoke:

[LoZoccolo]

5. 70s dub.

I have the Trojan dub box sets 1 & 2 full of this stuff.

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. Jazz is good. Preferably one of Miles' quintet albums, Monk, or Coltrane.

Also electronica...Orbital, Orb (The Orb's album "Live '93" is especially good)...and classical. I need complexity and multilayered sound.

[sundog]

7. dub or trip hop or bossa nova

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[RapidCreek]

28. I thought I was the only one!

I particularly like burning a fatty to the theme music from "Thief".

RC

[SilasSoule]

66. Vangelis noticeably missing from that Electronic list.

[Dogmudgeon]

17. When I was young and foolish ... before I found Jeebus ...

... I used to take Bad Persons' Drugs. You know, Drugs that only Bad People take.

And when I took those Bad Persons' Drugs, I'd turn the radio on to one of the easy-listening stations, close my eyes, and "take a voyage" in my sinfully drugged mind.

Right about that time, a new kind of much better easy-listening music started being made, so today, we have artists like Brian Eno and Harold Budd and Lori Carson and the Echoes radio program to listen to.

You know, sometimes I really miss my Bad Persons' Drugs.

I didn't include Marley because most of you already know his stuff. I wanted to show you some reggae most of you have never heard of, but you would like a lot.

I've got about 300 reggae songs on my computer if you want to know some more good ones, but try those for starters.
