edna Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I think of Jefferson Airplane, too....maybe it's just White Rabbit They always sung about drugs, sex, revolution... and their music is quite good to let your mind fly. We used to listen a lot to JA, King Crimson, Santana, Pink Floyd, some Deep Purple, Stones (Mick taylor years), Janis& Bigbrother, Quicksilver MS...

Shawna Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Tommy James' "Crimson and Clover" is a complete trip down that yellow brick road all by itself. No outside influences necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I recall hearing in my youth that the best way (and for some, the only way) to appreciate Frank Zappa was through herbal enhancement. ... whatever THAT means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtstuff Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Speaking of stoner music the other night when I was on the set of the Marshall movie they were using a somke machine to produce an effect in the movie theater. I got cracked up when I overheard one of the camera guys say that he felt like he was watching a scene from that infamous old classic, "Reefer Madness". rtstuff smoked in Huntington, West Virginia.

Batman Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I recall hearing in my youth that the best way (and for some, the only way) to appreciate Frank Zappa was through herbal enhancement. ... whatever THAT means. The only way? Preposterous! I just watched "Live at Pompeii" by Pink Floyd, and Gilmour says "people often associate us with drugs, but we don't do that...you can trust us" and then he looks straight at the camera and grins.

Steel2Velvet Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 The only way? Preposterous! Then it's a good thing you never met some of my more herbal friends from those days, Batman. There were a few that could not enjoy a great sunset without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few that could not enjoy a great sunset without help. That's pretty unfortunate...come to think about it, that's probably how I'll be describing a lot of my friends in a few years. It's not classic rock (it's a 90's album) but I don't think I've ever heard music that was more marijuana influenced than "Sleep's Holy Mountain" by Sleep.

bluesboy Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 songs like - the long version of Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well David Crosby - Laughing Traction in the Rain actually most of his first solo album. I'd Love to Change the World - Ten Years After Pipeline - the Chantays Alone Again Or - Love Whispering Pines - the Band Surfer Girl - Beach Boys and the Grateful Dead had their own chemist in the late '60s. albums like A Better Day - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express Blows Against the Empire - Paul Kantner's first solo effort Surf's Up - Beach Boys Side 2 of Abbey Road - Beatles Number 5 (side 1) - Steve Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Then it's a good thing you never met some of my more herbal friends from those days, Batman. There were a few that could not enjoy a great sunset without help. That´s pretty stupid and sad... drugs were supposed to enhance our wild imagination, not to turn us into brainless people. I believe you just had to do it in the beginnings, take it as en experience just like going to the movies or falling or love or... but not as God Allmighty. I stoped triping in my head some years after I started and now I remember that as a a part of my youth. And I´m happy I knew it... Blows Against the Empire - Paul Kantner's first solo effort Side 2 of Abbey Road - Beatles Those are some of my fave albums, though I came late to "Blows against the Empire", I wasn´t getting that stoned by the mid 70s anymore. I still love it with no chemical help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 maybe it was regional, but we did not have "stoners." We had "lodies" (as in loaded) Right, Cee Cee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I bought the video diary on the making of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" album. It's a look back, as opposed to being something that was filmed at the time. In it, Lindsay Buckingham strips down the different vocal elements on "Gold Dust Woman" and several others, and when all you hear is the primal screaming and weird noises of the band, it's eerie. Anyway, while he's at the mixer doing this, Lindsay looks straight at the camera and says - with a big smile - "There was a lot of drugs involved with making this record."

I left at 13, young and innocent! Here it was stoners. Stoners, jocks, and rednecks, the big 3 in social classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 In my college daze, there were 'stoners' and 'juicers', but I never saw any reason to limit myself. Amazingly, there were a few stoner/jocks around. "Mitt-head" was the term my younger brother used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think any song you listen to while high could be considered stoner music..... I think one can get high to just about any song. Therefore, most every song can be considered "stoner music". I'm listening to "stoner music" on the television right now...."McDonald's, I'm lovin' it!"

We had "lodies" (as in loaded) Marc, I grew up in SoCal, also (San Diego) and we had the loadies, the goat-ropers, the socs (pronounced "sosh" - long o, like socialite), the fish and the jocks. And then there was me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 They grew into preps. Penny loafers, pastel technicolor burp madras shirts (or I-Zod) and chinos. woof...
