Pot-head music

[Commie Rat]

all mi frirends rekon i listne to stoner music ??? i like the vines, the datsuns, the killers, green day and almost any indie rock stuff and a little punk

doesn't sound like stoner shit to me ???

[Don't Change Your Name]

You mean "stoner rock"???

Because that's really far from it. Your friends are potheads I guess.

[Commie Rat]

nah there not there all pop-tarts and wiggers

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

And thus, music by stoners about being stoned is not necessarily stoner music.

Who wants to start a sXe Phish cover band?!
Get shitfaced and cover Minor threat?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

wiggers?!
Am I the only who has a huge problem with this shit? Not only does it constitute as use of the word "nigger", but it also implies that actions can make someone black. Implying that all the stereotypes are real and not lies perpetuated by the bourgeoisie to weaken the African-American community. Fuck!

...not to go off topic =D

[Commie Rat]

sry about that its jsu commonly used slang and though i realise that it it po

Edit: kids that listen to rap music

[Urban Rubble]

Yeah, Yeah, the word wigger sucks.

What the fuck is Stoner music ? Cheech and Chong albums ? The Dazed and Confused soundtrack ?

I like to listen to reggae or anything acoustic and melodic when I'm stoned. But some people prefer blaring buttrock, it's all a prefernce. There is no stoner music.

baaaahahahahahaaa

i agree with tyler. you are your own fortune cookie. stoner music is what you make of it.

[The Forum Idiot]

"Stoner rock" is a genre but can include a lot depending on the people listening. There does tend to be common ideas in it but its a bit like "geek rock" i.e. there is no strict definition.

Commonly known as stoner rock are:

Queens Of The Stone Age
Soundgarden
Green Day (to some extent)
The Datsuns (to some extent)
A lot of psychadelia


I myself would probably put on some Vaselines or Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP if I ever get stoned. Its a hard to describe genre. I could easily see some classical music as stoner music.

[Hate Is Art]

Getting stoned is so boring, hence those bands you mentioned being boring.

[Commie Rat]

Yay the Datsuns are rad u heard Super Gyration?

[SittingBull47]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Sublime yet.
Every hardcore stoner I know always has one of their cd's in rotation. (of course I know alot of non-stoners who enjoy them as well).

[Rockfan]

the datsuns are mean, new zealand rock is as good as an other countrys but jus dosen't seem to be as big, oh well mabey im just biesit lol since i live a few kms from the home town cambrige (not fucking england either)

[Palmares]

Most stoners I know say stoner music is like chill out kinda music. Like music you can listen to and not think too hard about. Mellow, soft, and... stoner-like.

I prefer hard stuff for being stoned. Makes me think I'm getting lost in the music. Consumed by it almost. Like you are in the music.

But honestly, when it comes donw to it, it makes fuck all of a difference to me really. :wacko:

[Ian]

Pink Floyd.

Have you ever actually been stoned? Or even tried a little dope? Clearly not, I've never been stoned but just a little bit of weed is goooooooood. And way before I'd tried weed I adored plenty of "stoner bands"...And its true that what's counted as a soner band varies from person to person. So, by saying all stoner bands are boring, therefore you think all music is boring. Dumbass.

I know some trippy bands as well!

Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Music
Nouvelle Vague
All psychadelia
Loads of prog

[refuse_resist]

When I'm stoned I listen to just about anything. Punk, hardcore, metal, etc.


Get shitfaced and cover Minor threat?
I used to play Minor Threat all the time when I was drunk and stoned. One of the first songs I learned on guitar was by them actually. :)

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

You ever get around to listening to some prog, idiot? Or wasn't it you who vehemently argued with me against progressive rock?

"Stoner rock" is probably one the worst and most useless attempts at categorizing music. I've heard people say that anything from Led Zeppelin to Cake is stoner music. So that term does absolutely nothing to help define a style.

[The Forum Idiot]

Everything can be categorized as stoner music and in the same way everything can not be stoner music...Its hard to explain what I'm trying to say...To you listening to prog could be considered stoner music while with me it could be The Vaselines...However, a genre under that name has evolved called stoner rock which is mainly QOTSA/Soundgarden style music along with other stuff...Its a bit like how plenty of heavy metal isn't actually that heavy....

And I'm sorry for ranting on about the prog stuff...I was talking out of my ass and had been misguided by certain sources...No I have not listened to any prog really (well...I remember someone saying Frank Zappa and QOTSA are prog and I've listened to lots of QOTSA and a little Zappa) but am willing to try it (but there's none around so meh - except one CD of my pa's (Pink Floyd) if that counts).

[Vanilla Coke Kid]

Some stoner rock bands I know of (Some already mentioned, but WTF):

QOTSA
Smashing Pumpkins (Earlier stuff, at least)
Sublime
Pink Floyd
Frank Zappa
Hendrix, to an extent

Fuck, even The Beatles would qualify as 'Stoner Rock'.

[Free Spirit]

To call it stoner music gives only a bad picture it's called Psychedelic music or Acid music. It's not about being stones, it's simply about the experience as something above all rules of nature, it's about excess of a minds creation and art piece in front of your eyes. I myself listen to psychedelic rock from 60's and 70's and those are the times when most of the music had lyrics of psychedelia.
Another band from that area would be Jefferson Airplane. I mean look at Woodstock, it's rock n roll history but psychedelic, the whole 60's area was psychedelic and inspired music. From inspiration to inspiration there's even psychedelic art. It's telling the same experience as the music does except visually.

[The Forum Idiot]

Acid and Stoner are very different. The drugs they are associated with are VERY different. Queens Of The Stone Age and Soundgarden are not in any way psychadelic. A trip-head could like them and listen to them but as far as generally accepted genres go the two are very different.

[Ian]

Get Soulseek, download the leaked album 'France the Mute' by The Mars Volta. Get stoned and listen.

[dopediana]

for me when i listen to hard music when i´m stoned, i feel overwhelmed. but if it´s some pink floyd or some desmond dekker or some nice mellow acoustic stuff i feel wonderful and just let it wash over me.

Pft. Art piece? GIve me a fucking break. Cliched wank-prog is not about art, it's about being too out-of-it to construct a real and challenging, or at least exciting, situation. gilbert switzer are about an [anti-]art emerging in front of you.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

post-dadaist? That fucking rocks!

And prog owns, so shut it! :P

QOTSA are not very progressive. Maybe prog-metal....
Zappa isn't very progressive either. They just call it that because it's hard to fit into anything else and it fits the description of 'alternative' methods, prolonged instrumentals, and unusual time signatures, key signatures, tempo changes, etc.

What Zappa albums do you have?

[Free Spirit]

It's just different way of seeing it. I mean "purple haze" that gives you a nice picture. That's artistic, it's a nice vision but surely can be seen in your way as well. What mean is art is not everything but certainly can be found in anything!

as an african-american the word "wigger" means to me someone that is pushing the sterotype of blacks. it does not make them black it makes them funny. what i cant stand is when you see a group of wiggers that dont even have any black friends. But yet the whole "wigger" problem is only really a white people problem. black people could care less if some white boy talks like me or dresses like me yet raps like ever CD he owns.

[celtopunk]

How about the white "rastafarians" that speak with a faux Jamacian accent? That's about as bad as it gets.

I always thought wigger was a stupid term, does that make m&m a wrapper?

I have a grand total of....None...I was at my drummer's house and he put on some weird song about snow and penguins or something....and a couple other songs...we were mostly laughing though...

And on teh Wiggers topic I agree with Celtopunk

Then the stuff he jots lyrics on can be called Wrapping Paper.

[Don't Change Your Name]

Excuse me everyone, but I always thought "stoner rock" was Black Sabbath, Queens Of The Stone Age and such bands.


And I'm sorry for ranting on about the prog stuff...I was talking out of my ass and had been misguided by certain sources...No I have not listened to any prog really (well...I remember someone saying Frank Zappa and QOTSA are prog and I've listened to lots of QOTSA and a little Zappa) but am willing to try it (but there's none around so meh - except one CD of my pa's (Pink Floyd) if that counts).

Go here (http://www.progarchives.com/) and download some songs by bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel, Gentle Giant, Can, Jethro Tull, Anglagard and Caravan (you could also download something from Emerson, Lake & Palmer but it's a very "hit or miss" band so it might give you a bad impression of prog rock). That will give you an idea.
If you want to check out Pink Floyd, be careful. Try Dark Side..., Animals, Meddle, The Wall, Wish You Were Here and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, in that order.


Cliched wank-prog is not about art, it's about being too out-of-it to construct a real and challenging, or at least exciting, situation.

?


By the way, what do you all think of Syd Barrett?

[Pawn Power]

When I am high and relaxing I always enjoy some Grateful Dead.........

[Kronic.SoLjAh]

I find the chill some soft Tool, with a bit of Clutch, or Pink Floyd, The Doors are also a nice listen. I feel getting stoned makes me really feel the music, which obviously makes me more intune with the artist. This leads to the casual techno song with perfectly placed beats.

[Tupac-Amaru]

Dont forget Mystic Roots. All of their songs are about getting stoned. :lol:

And Frank Zappa is da BEST! I have all his albums (but then again with Zappa, you never know, he's always full of surprises :D ).

[Invader Zim]

Yea, well you know...that's what fans do: they spend a shit load of money on unnecessary stuff, i have all the movies about him too. :o :lol:

But funnily enough, you guys are all talking about stoners or woteva, Frank Zappa was totaly against drugs, you'd think from his music that he was a smack addict, but he wasnt. :huh: :)

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

You have all of his albums?! wow! He had an absolutely massive catalogue. The only band whose entire collection I'm even close to owning is The Beatles, but they only about a dozen studio albums...

[The Forum Idiot]

I have all the Nirvana albums...I need the singles box if that counts (which it shouldn't) and some dodgy tribute/interview CDs (definately shouldn't count). Not only do I have all their albums (8 including the new box set) but about 8 or 9 bootlegs (about half of which I downloaded from places like nirva.nu). I also only need Pod by the Breeders to have the set of...err...3 CDs...and I have it on tape anyway. Hmm...and the Vaselines (1 CD comprising all their released music...Got it for like £8.99)

[DayGloSunshine]

Acid and Stoner are very different. The drugs they are associated with are VERY different.

I disagree, the Grateful Dead (who could be the best band of all time) are the zenith of stoner/acid rock. They were notorious for smoking pot and very much involved in the acid scene. They are key when talking about stoner/acid rock.

My mum used to have all the origional LP's, ep's, singles, etc from when they were first released. The full collection everything they ever released. Pity she lost them when she got divorced.

The most albums I have by one band is 9, and thats the manic street preachers.

Ohh and i have like 10 smashing pumpkins albums, though most of them are pirate, so it doesn't really count.

[cormacobear]

When I get high I listen to audio-books; political, history, theology, and ..... yes I must admit some Bernard Cornwell and Terry Pratchett. :blink:

Acid rock tends to be more psychadelic, QOTSA are not pyschadelic but very stoner rock.

The Grateful Dead are associated more with marijuana than the bands your talking about. Granted I dont listen to the radio much, but they are the headlining drug band.

Also when I get baked I would hate to think of the power chords droning on in background. As I said I dont listen to the radio much, but from what I can remember Green Day is just a power chord band embraced by the MTV following crowd.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

The most albums I have by one band in eight studio albums by the Beatles, plus two Anthologies.
Then I have 5 albums by the who, 6 by Zeppelin, 5 by Pink Floyd, 5 by the Stones. I try to diversify my music collection as much as possible, so I avoid getting too many albums by the same group or of the same genre...

[The Forum Idiot]

I focus on certain bands but I like trying different genres...I'm probably the only 13 year old who listens to both thrash metal and Paul Simon

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

I think that listening to "oh yeah'' by yello whilst inhaling succulent marijuana fumes would be amusing.

[Polish Prince]

there is no such thing as stoner music everyon ehas a preference when they r stoned

Being the forum stoner.

BOB MARLEY!!!!

[Purple]

stoner music, after my opinion the best, even dough im strongly against drugs:

Air (Playground Love, Cherry Blossom Girl, Venus, Another Day)
Nine Inch Nails (Driver Down, The Day The World Went Away)
Prince (Darling Nikki, Computer Blue, Damn U, Arrogance)
Malsain (Cement Forest)
Mad Caddies (All American Badass, Theres Something Wrong At The Playground)
Metallica (Bleeding Me, Sanitarium)
Le People le Herb

[Dysfunctional_Literate]

The craziest trip song I have ever listend to is Aqueous Transmission by Incubus. It has an oriental vibe to it and has all sorts of crazy sound effects like streams and crickets and frogs. When your tripping this is quintisential(sp)

Ermm....Pearl Jam are (or at least were originally) very anti-drug...They probably smoked a bit of weed but they weren't heavy druggies...I guess its completely possible to create druggy music without taking drugs but I personally wouldn't turn on PJ if I got stoned (to fast and angry on Ten).
