this is what english sci fi looks like to americans

boom boom boom boom by the vengaboys probably

Vengaboys were awesome, there's a great remix of vengabus floating around.

This?

No, this

Do you know they're actually still doing live performances in Ibiza and shit? Well they were before covid anyway

Incredible, screw covid

Barbie girl

good one

wake up now

I found a Nana Mouskouri vinyl in my collection a while ago, it was a plant I didn't buy it, honest.

Wilson Phillips - Hold On

dayam

The Mr Blobby song! It brings back memories lol

The Frey ~ How to save a life -_-

please keep this between us

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune

It is a great tune. Ignore the haters!

Electric 6 were good
Gay bar is a tune too but they had better tracks

Let’s start a war!

Start a nuclear war!

I've got something to put IN YOU!

I was afraid someone would take it there

Lol, I'm surprised that I was the first! Couldn't resist, too funny

When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.

Doo da Dee da Dee Dee dodo, Dee da do do do! That was too catchy.

Mm bop, Hansen,
The album it’s off is a little pop jewel

I gave that album away lol

ok so i have 2 now :)

You’re winning Frizzy lol

First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.

On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.

I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)

Cheers BB

Jolene is a classic! Try play it on 33 speed sounds Evan better!

Need to try this

Gotta love dolly, a clever funny sexy woman.
Her blue grass albums are superb.

Lil bit ashamed to say, but that’s a fucking tune pal ! !

New Order, cant tell whats new/old/remix or Alzheimers.

Tangerine Dream even more of this

Friday is my day off and therefore my get as stoned as possible day.... I usually end up putting at least parts of this on every week. A great watch/listen if you like pantera or metal really. Or if you play guitar. Takes a few minutes to get going. And I know it's not an album in the slightest. Sorry for rambling on.. It is Friday.

I'll also throw this album in for indica fans.

Zero 7 - Simple Things

Takes me back to the early 90's......that and Moon Safari by Air stand out for me. I listened to Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld by the Orb a lot back then too. I still roll this one out - another great toking album.

Big favourite back in the day.
https://youtu.be/Z7If6GODLFc

Unless I missed it, how has no one mentioned Dark Side of the Moon?!

It's possibly the only album that can get you high with no supply!

Haven't listened to the K&D sessions for ages! Well thats my morning soundtrack sorted.

Strange Cargo 3 by William Orbit is good toking album.

Alt-J - An Awesome Wave

Trip Hop
Portishead - Dummy
Massive Attack - Protection
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
DJ Cam - Underground Vibes

Techno
Richie Hawtin - DE9 Closer To The Edit
Pan-Pot - Confronted
Robert Hood - Internal Empire
Actress - Splazsh

Drum & Bass
Logical Progression Sessions 1 & 2

Ambient
Loscil - Endless Falls

Logical Progression Sessions remind me of when I first started enjoying the high. 20 years later, I'm rediscovering it.

Yessssss.....+1 Logical Progression. I'll be dusting that vinyl off this weekend.

Gotta be up there alongside. Genesis and Then There Were Three.

Its a personal choice and each to their own taste however if there is a list of great albums to listen to when stoned then Fleetwood Mac - Rumours has to be on it.If you have never heard it then you are missing out on one of the greatest albums ever made.

Rumours takes on a totally new life when stoned. I wish I had the songwriting gene!

+1 for Rumours - there is a great documentary about the making of it...well, about the whole band, how they formed etc. They were basically hating each other when that album was made (which is obvious when you listen to the lyrics). Have a look for it on the iPlayer - well worth a look

Discovered Double Negative by Low last year and have listened to it whilst toking many times now. Went straight into my stoner music list... Sounds awesome on vinyl..

Gotta be Cypress hill - black Sunday

https://youtu.be/6fQ28dTEUd0

My guitar teacher switched me on to these guys way back. Nowadays, I appreciate this much more than I did then!

Lucky enough to see Ozrics at several free festivals in late eighties and nineties, once so caned on micro dots I thought I was watching floyd from the meddle era.
Great band , nice guys.
In similar vein try the ;porcupine tree’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJvQx5QQbHE&t=738s (Saucers)

From avenged sevenfold through to chopin and everything in between. This is really awesome to listen to. If you want a nice hour musical journey one of the best albums I could listen to from start to finish is Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream, and it's not traditionally my fav music. Or anything Led Zep.

I'll check that out - thanks for the tip

Siamese Dream... That was an album.

Just been listening to 1995 by k&d , nice, sort of orbital meets urban jazz.

K&D are (were) the Dons! Love those guys I'd put Cinematic Orchestra up there too. Worth checking out if you've not heard their stuff.

Love cinematic orchestra, pink martini I think are similarly talented,

Oooh not heard of Pink Martini - will check them out

Will see if on tidal

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

It’s a great Tolkien Album!

Badum chahhhhh! :-)

https://youtube.com/watch?v=8iU8LPEa4o0

Not an album as such, but I absolutely love uplifting and mellow jazz beats such as this when high...

can't beat a bit of BOC

Kudos to the above and 'in no particular order':

Miles Davis - "Miles in the Sky"
Steve Hillage - "Rainbow Dome Musick"
Neil Young - "Ragged Glory", "Live Rust"
Ozrics - "Pungent Effulgent"
Led Zep "II"
Gong - "Angel's Egg", "You"
Phish - any live Summer Jams on YouTube
Dylan - "Blonde on Blonde"
Thievery Corp - "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi"
Zappa - "Absolutely Free", "Hot Rats"
Mike Oldfield - "Hergest Ridge", "Ommadawn"
& most (live) Dead "Dark Star(s)" & "Eyes...."
+ checking out the recommendations here...

Have a cup of tea, have another one....

First time I heard Miles Davis on sketches of Spain i could feel the sun and smell the olive trees, Rare a record truly transports you so effectively.

Hot rats :)

Not many artists can make me laugh out loud, Zappa did often.

Ticks all round.

Tripping to this right now thanks to this post!

My go to is Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, followed by Dave Matthews ‘Before These Crowded Streets’ or ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ and First Aid Kit ‘Ruins’

Just had a quick listen and sound good! Gave it a like and next time I smoke I'll put this on in the back, cheers!

Saw Phaeleh at Kendal Calling 10 years ago and he played this album in full. Been in love with it ever since. My go to.

This is a bad boy for chilling to, and the artist not very well known so give it a whirl.

K&D Sessions and DJ Kicks albums are legendary!

Ah I have quite a few Waiwan tracks! Excellent selection...will give that a try!

Waiwan is my favourite ‘unknown’ artist - really low key releases that are mind blowing. Got a couple of his remixes on vinyl will try and find them and upload here!

You have great taste sir!

You too bruv ;-)

Had to add this

Just watched 10 minutes of that - awesome! I'm an amateur music producer and love tweaking the knobs and dials so I will be watching this in full over the weekend - thanks for sharing

This & Massive Attack - Blue Lines

YES! You have good taste in cameras and music, Carver.

This is still also a stone cold classic - lovely

Or as we used to call it....the ultimate album come down album! Not that this happens anymore, but...put this on as the last album of the night/morning after a night of raving and loads of mdma! Perfect!! Thanks for reminding me of this, been about 15 years since I listened to this beast!

You know it - that's how I first discovered it too. And yeah, It's been waaaayyyyy too long since I had one of those nights. As soon as the world gets back to normal I'm going to recreate 'the old days' :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

The wall.

Any, post Syd, Floyd for me- as long as it’s an album start to finish, for the full experience

Yeah, you need the full experience. Imagine a single from Dark side or animals. Even worse, wish you were here. Damn pesky kids don’t know what a single is. Bah humbug.

Ha ha. Those darn whippersnappers.

I'll throw this in... A bit obscure... Gets the old red eyes pumping and gets a nice on the go, too.

Nice! Thanks, dude.

Personally afro man hits the wisker on my chin,

lol use to flat out play this. tried to listen again recently though and I feel it hasn't aged well. the beats aren't great!

It's all relative I guess eh! I still love it personally and feel it holds up well after 22 years....but Jesus, reminds me how old I am!

keep rollin' that tumbleweed brother ;D

Great album alright,recently rediscovering how good the klf-chill out album is,well worth a listen,albeit a little less electronic but ye,cant go wrong with the k&d sessions either!

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll get into that over the weekend

Carbon Based Lifeforms for that ambient chill.

Come on Eileen, it is the worst thing ever created. Can’t stand the guys voice.

That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol

If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.

Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.

Ob-la-fuckin-di, ob-la-fuckin-da

Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.

D'yer Maker by those Blood and Fire Roots Reggae Heroes Led Zep.
Why? Because it's 'kin awful

all the weed on lb couldnt get me through this

I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

Not often you hear Zeppelin and fuckin awful.

Sometimes they stole good shit....Sometimes they stole fucking awful shit.

All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.

Yeah I know, I was just trying to be funny. They're still my favourite band from that era.

Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family

Best Zeppelin

zep had range

Anything by Ed Sheeran

surely anything by Celine Dion or the like

Gotta have house music!

As the 90's started I'll admit to being into American Rock artists like Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt and Kiss. Also liked a bitta Journey, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon. Still have a lot of my tapes and records from back in the day. I've converted one room into a Music room. Got a tape deck, turntable, CD and MP3 player all wired into a decent set of speakers. But back to the 90's.

Must have been summer 92 that I went to my first rave. I live in NI so we those that are fimilar with things will remember Kellys in Portrush. Spent many saturday nights dancing to some amazing house music. Some epic tunes by artists who'se names I never did get, to loved up to care! As long as there was a big beat, piano break, hands in the air we didn't care. #goodtimes

gotta love house!

A great decade for punk / hardcore. Fugazi. Gorilla Biscuits. Rollins, before he disappeared up his own arse. Sweaty gigs in tiny venues. I miss those days.

In the early to mid 90's I loved nothing more than a night of bouncing, banging techno, followed by Marley/Floyd type of thing as I eased down the next day.
*DTB shivers while recalling those next days*
Changed lots over the years and is now trip hop with a jazz angle, classical & opera, Cash, Floyd, Zeppelin, Fleetwood, Dylan, and a bit of Postmodern Jukebox if I feel like dreaming about sharing my life with Haley Reinhart.

sounds well energized, sounds like one hell of a time tbh!

Prince.

I was so obsessed when i was younger i even had the leather jacket with the symbol on the back.

Still love the music but luckily the dress sense has improved a bit!

Anyone who thinks Bruno Mars is ground breaking (and i think his music is great by the way) needs to stick a few Prince albums from the late 80's and 90's on. Gives a very clear idea where he gets his "thing" from.

Cheers BB

bruno mars is one hell of a singer!
be careful this guy would catch a grenade for your mrs haha!!

khuuunt sounds like a name of an author i come across
