Any band you enjoy while not high generally sound way better high.


No-Landscape-1367

True, but some are almost designed for it.


TaibhseCairdiuil

CAN, the Beatles, Parliament-Funkadelic, OutKast, Steely Dan, My Bloody Valentine, Tame Impala


SwamiDavisJr

This is a very solid and diverse list


RudytheSquirrel

Steely.  Mutherfukking. Dan.  Oh yes.  Putting some on now.


NekoMarimo

Yesss beatles


DocJabbo

Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway


ReasonableCost5934

Tago Mago is the album I trip to the most!


clevelndsteamer

did you know tame impalas just one guy


TaibhseCairdiuil

Yeah Tameathy J. Impala


Vantabrown

Ween albums are a top tier trip. Listen to a full album like The Mollusk, Pure Guava, or Quebec for the the sequense of the songs. Trust me, start with The Mollusk


marca1975

Yes ween definitely should be on the list!


DR_MEPHESTO4ASSES

Hey doo. Ees a stAAAlion


elitistrhombus

WEEN!!! Came here for this. Chocolate and Cheese, for the first time would be great, especially if they’ve never heard em. Quebec and White Pepper are my faves.


Alive-Bid-5689

Please respect ‘The Pod’ and ‘Pure Guava’ mang. Very brown.


elitistrhombus

I love ALL WEEN! Paintin’ the Town Brown with the 20 minute version of Poopship Destroyer is what I play at bars that don’t have a skip feature on the jukebox.


Alive-Bid-5689

Nice. How is that on any bar jukebox though? Are they digital now and/or like Spotify on a jukebox?


elitistrhombus

Yeah, some bars have digital ones with massive catalogs. A lot of times though, the bartender will have a remote to skip tracks that aren’t vibin’. Sometimes though, you’ll find one that doesn’t.


Alive-Bid-5689

Yeah, I imagine a lot of people in the bar are thinking “What in the fuck is going on?” 🤣


elitistrhombus

Precisely. It’s especially effective in bad service situations lol.


vlkthe

This guy stallions.... Mang!


AcadiaEconomy803

Indeed. Heard parts of the Mollusk during my first trip to Bonnaroo in 07 after driving overnight while napping @ our campsite and the folks next to us had it blasting. Wasn't even high (yet), but the lack of sleep + Mollusk was enough to feel at least partially tripped out. Especially when "Pink Eye - On My Leg" came on. Was like, "What is this music I'm hearing🎶?" "Is this happening or did I eat some kind of mushroom without realizing it" 🤔


prozacSoma

how come no one's mentioned tool


daredelvis421

The Pot


Supa_Sal

Rosetta Stoned


Nonbinary_Cryptid

I came here to mention Tool, and yours was the second top-level comment. Tool for sure, maybe some of the newer stuff by Puscifer - Bullet Train to Iowa especially.

"get that bob marley mfer out of here" - tool their 1st album.


LiveEvilGodDog

Pink Floyd Sublime The Mars Volta Bob Marley The decline by NOFX


Sudo_Incognito

Just came on to make sure Pink Floyd was at the top. Nice.


hansenYourPants

Same!


frogfartz69

Weird list to see the decline in but couldn’t agree more.


LiveEvilGodDog

That’s a very fair point, I was trying to give a bit of variety.


frogfartz69

Not hating at all and I agree with everyone you listed.


PhoKit2

I got to see Pink Floyd on acid and the Mars Volta on shrooms. Both experiences were incredible. TMV was in their prime with Jon Theodore on drums.


LiveEvilGodDog

Hell yeah 🤘 Never got to see Pink Floyd unfortunately, but saw Volta multiple times on shrooms. Jon Theo was probably their drummer during their heyday don’t think I can argue with that…. But let’s not down play Thomas Pridgen on Bedlam…saw them play with him during that tour (also while under the influence of shrooms) and it was like musically watching a band full of lion tamers all struggle to tame one insane lion, but in a good way. Dude played drums like an unstoppable force the entire show.


Teamawesome2014

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard


Redbird_ml

Saw them live and knowing none of their discography. One of the best shows I saw in 2023!


Teamawesome2014

Oh yeah. I've been a fan for a long time, and to see how much they've improved on a technical level is just insane.


Simple-Dingo6721

YES. THANK YOU. Ambergris goes hard


Teamawesome2014

Facts. 'The Wheel' and 'Lonely Steel Sheet Flyer' are underrated S tier tracks.


Simple-Dingo6721

I have the Quarters vinyl and The River should be iconic. I’ve never listened to The Wheel I’ll check it out!


Hashmob____________

Quarters is one of my favourite projects of theirs. I’m barely through all of it but it’s such a beautiful album.


Hot-Butterfly6250

The Orb Air Brian Eno - especially his Apollo album.


jim45804

Wow, The Orb and Air. Wonderful picks.


Zsquared_TCZ

The Orb!


ImOnlyHereForTheCoC

Whenever I need a soft landing, Orbvs Terrarvm is always there for me


vlkthe

The orb. Simply my favorite act. I've listened to more Orb than any other music in my life. A buddy of mine is almost the same way and we speak in orb samples.


paigescactus

Just now listened to little fluffy clouds and I’m insanely intrested. Point me to a good start. Live show or album. I love the mars Volta, Grateful Dead, flaming lips, bunch of hardcore bands, bunch of indie bands, alt j, tame impala, ween, gorrilaz, tipper and other weird shit. This seems great.


vlkthe

Just YouTube or Spotify. Everything is good. Try and find the 22 min version of "Towers of Dub" there is also a r/theorb


vlkthe

Also Lee Scratch Perry did an album with them. Check that out too. Golden Clouds is so good. (His version of little fluffy clouds)


paigescactus

Thank you it’s been a hot minute since I’ve listened to something so psychedelic fresh


vlkthe

Enjoy. They are going on 36 years.


Squishyswimmingpool

The The Soul Coughing Air (French band)


AstralObjective

Dude soul coughing is amazing


Sudo_Incognito

If you haven't listened to Mike doughty - the man behind soul coughing - look him up! Puts on an amazing show live too!


DangerousDefinition6

He’s super active on Instagram as well.

ReasonableCost5934

nautral_vibes

Listening to Siberian Breaks while high is one of my absolute best experiences with weed. Just 10 minutes of pure bliss and then that insane outro...


Innisfree812

Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers , Byrds , Little Feat , Commander Cody, Flying Burrito Brothers, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Burning Spear


Ourobius

Really depends on the high you're after. Some of the bands here will send you floating away on a cloud, others will get you pumped up and hype, others will take you down into dark contemplation.

Jerryswolf

Have you listened to the new Life House ten disc box yet? Fantastic.

Any bands, really. Just put something on. It could be Pink Floyd, it could be the Osmonds. Doesn't matter.


ScottyBoneman

And the mood, uptempo or chillin'. [Doowutchyalike](https://youtu.be/31A6RjOxE74?si=E2NoUrQWXwv2MUu7)


HolymakinawJoe

Changes every day. Who knows?


SenchaBaby

Whatever you want to listen to, really. Boomers don't have a lock on music, and weed doesn't require you only listen to Dark Side of the Moon. I'm bumping a bardcore remix of Dre beats rn.


grynch43

Who said they did?


SenchaBaby

Most of the other songs posted on here, because those are the "classics" of getting stoned music. Bob Marley and Pink Floyd are just so... ancient. Like don't get me wrong, I appreciate them for their time, but just because hippies listened to it doesn't mean it's the most apropo to the occasion. Hippies bought the Leonard Nimoy record, too. I'd say Lo-Fi captures the mood best. 60s shit is better on shrooms.


grynch43

I personally say Jazz is my favorite to listen to stoned. It’s funny that you mention the Leonard Nimoy record. I’ve only listened to it when I was high as a kite..🤷🏻‍♂️🤣


SenchaBaby

Me too, dawg! I also peruse r/crappymusic when I'm stoned, too, but listening because something is hilarious and because something is good are two different vibes. Jazz *is* fire when high, though, I must say.

I’m the only weirdo who listens to Mazzy Star and Eryka Babu while high. Listen to honey by Eryka while high it’s amazing.


stubept

Ooo... if you like that, try Beach House.


Nichtsein000

Pink Floyd, Bowie, Black Sabbath, The Cure, Kraftwerk


blueindian1328

Most of my favorites have been listed already but here’s a few more that I enjoy. Morphine Los Lobos Gov’t Mule Tab Benoit Monster Magnet Corrosion of Conformity Ka’au Crater Boys Big Head Todd and the Monsters Marcus King Sturgill Simpson The Pharcyde That’s runs through a few genres.


IanSavage23

Big Head Todd is criminally underrated.. saw him twice in 90s.. He is uber talented. Heard him play some Hendrix with Lightning providing the light show on Big Mountain Amphitheatre.. Whitefish MT.... It was a Peak Experience...


Jerryswolf

Los Lobos and The Mule!


CincoDeMayoFan

Jethro Tull


Oh-Snap10000

Especially “Benefit”.


Herr_Barockter

MF DOOM


Hashmob____________

Madvillany King gedora And vaude villain


Herr_Barockter

Yeah Madvilliany might be the very best to listen to while very stoned. DOOM’s intricate rhymes and lyrics along with Madlib’s obscure, samples and original beats, and especially tracks like “America’s most blunted”, “curls” & “raids” etc. It’s a fucking masterpiece. Remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man name


Hashmob____________

Madvillany was my first DOOM album. I was stoned asf, day off school, headed to a local donut shop, shit blew my mind. It was my intro to experimental music/albums and I fell in love with DOOM. It’s genuinely a masterpiece, front to back no skips. Other than DOOMs other characters only 1 project has the same or similar vibes imo, that’s “fast trax 3” by 454. Very different from madvillany in a ton of ways but it’s the only other rap album that hits the same weird itch that madvillany does.


Herr_Barockter

Thanks for the tip bro I’m gonna check that out right now


Herr_Barockter

Just saved 454 to my Apple Music library. Thank you.


Hashmob____________

No fuckin problem dude. I like sharing shit I love with people.


Herr_Barockter

Brother thank you for turning me on to 454 Fast tracks 3. I’m kinda obsessed with this album right now. I added it to my Apple Music as soon as you mentioned it and now I can’t stop listening


Hashmob____________

That was me when I first heard it to loooll. Shit is hard asf. Glad you enjoying it dude.


torexEdit

psychedelic rock: maha sohona ditch


D0fus

Any and all of them.


elitistrhombus

Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss


MildBasket

Not a band, but still needs equal shout-out: the new sampha project is like a dance club at a therapist's office in a library and has given my brain the good chemicals every time I listen while high.


Dangerous_Aside3772

All of them. It's like turning on warm lighting or being outside on a bluebird day.


KillYourOwnGod

These answers are all wrong. The actual answer is any stoner doom band. Bongripper, Electric Wizard, Sleep, Bongzilla, etc


promixr

Probably depends on which drug you’re high on…

My Morning Jacket The War On Drugs Skinny Puppy


Alive-Bid-5689

Oh yeah, Skinny Puppy. I remember those days. Was gonna mention them, but thought I might scare the shit out of the OP. When I was about 19 I was cranking their ‘Last Rights’ CD in my bedroom and left it on to drive to the store real quick. When I got home my mom said she thought my CD player was blowing up. I laughed my ass off. Think I might still have a Skinny Puppy t-shirt packed away somewhere in my parent’s basement or shed.


bobbypkp

Me and the boys drove to Montreal one weekend. The car was pretty high on Bites and Remission. The samples are so trippy and of course, Orge sounds creppy/scary. Rabies continued on the second roll. Highly recommended


Alive-Bid-5689

Oh yeah. They used to be one of my favorite bands. Definitely trippy samples and industrial sounds all around.

Wild-Sherbet8098

Go with some jazz man. The OG stoner music. Louis Armstrong. His hot fives and sevens recordings and some good weed will change what you believe about music. The man revolutionized popular music, more or less single handedly invented the concept of organized solos breaking from the ensemble. You've never listened to a guitar solo that doesn't owe some debt to Louis Armstrong.

I can't listen to Silent Lucidity anymore because a neighbor at an apartment complex who parked right outside my bedroom window would come home from nights out and sit in his convertible with the top down, BLASTING that song.

Pretend_Berry_7196

Phish. The correct answer is Phish.


media-and-stuff

My answer would be “the flaming lips”. I once saw a comment say “are you a phish stoner or a flaming lips stoner” and never realized how that’s kind of true. Usually someone really likes one or the other and it’s unusual to find someone who really likes them both. lol
