One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
Not sure if it fits the assignment, but the first two Human League albums from the 70s (Reproduction and Travelogue) are analogue synth brilliance. If you can find the expanded version of Reproduction with the Dignity of Labour EP & flexidisc conversation added, even better.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of the Moon
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - K.G.
Pendulum - Immersion
Swans - The Seer
KOAN Sound - Polychrome. Everything these guys do is amazing but I feel like this album in particular has an unmatched vibe.

Music by Cavelight by Blockhead. My fav stoned album of all time, probably.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the album Medulla by Bjork. If I’m not mistaken it was made entirely with mouth sounds. Has a really unique feeling to it.
Oh I listened to this as a kid but never knew about the mouth noises thing ! I can barely remember the music too. I should give it a fresh listen with 20 years’ perspective
Nice pick, it’s a very unique album for sure. Oceania has got to be one of her greatest vocal performances ever.
Savage sinusoid - Igorrr
Not Spirituality & Distortion?
Cheval is a whole assortment of vibes
Live at the Old Quarter, Townes Van Zandt. Townes at the height of power, and before the years took too much of a toll, a live album including just the perfect amount of chatter and ambience to give an impression of what the night was like, the goofy dad-humor blending into some of the best American songs ever written. I won’t argue that he was better than Dylan, but I prefer him, and with a slightly different lyrical style he was absolutely worthy to be mentioned in the same breath.
I don’t know this specific recording but I love his music since I first heard it in The Big Lebowski. I learned to play Dead Flowers too. Will give this a listen, cheers
I actually enjoy his buddy Guy Clark a little more, and respect him very nearly as much, but Guy is just a little more country and didn’t have quite that same level of soul-deep hurt that you need to really cross genres as a “beautiful loser” icon.
Zappa - Apostrophe
Perfect while being stoned
The consequences album by Godley and creme. I don’t think I’ve ever found another fan haha
Days of Future’s Past by the Moody Blues, the one with the London Symphony.
I haven’t done it in a long time, but I used to turn out all the lights and lay on the floor and listen to this album from start to finish, it’s so good.
