Id like to add "Garden Grove - Sublime" and im sure there are some more but I am drawing a blank right now.

"Hits from the Bong", by Cypress Hill. Come to think of it, the entire "Black Sunday" album should be on there.

my thoughts exactly

[poopzilla33]

for me 4/20 is all about where the streets have no name-u2

[Bishop]

Someone tell me why "White Rabbit" isn't number one, lol. That song was my buddies and my theme song in high school. Nice list, seeing Primal Scream on there, "Screamadelica" is just a great album for burnin'.

[xiphoid]

ride of the valkyries - wagner...started at 4:19:30 it was our college tradition

[idio]

thats a bizarre list...

how is there no bob marley? no cypress hill, no grateful dead???

[aquadrunk]

Personally, I think it's nice that they didn't throw together a list of all the obvious picks.

Glad to see New Order and Spiritualized.

[nol13]

im over 4/20, its all about 4/19 now.

[roolacksreality]

^Bicycle Day!!!. What an unappreciated holiday. Not too many people remember that. Karma on me, nol.

Did you see what number 1 was??

Thats why White Rabbit isnt number 1.

[spindlest]

Ahem...Burn One Down? Any song by ABB or Devendra Banhart?

[gtwrecked]

Hmm I never thought of 1979 as a particularly psychadelic song... I'd say that one sticks out as an odd pick for me. that and Slow Ride.

I second becca's pick of Garden Grove - they played it before dave went on in 05 at 'roo - it never sounded so good.

slow ride - reminds me of Dazed and Confuzed so it works for me...

i remember when they played sublime before dave and the entire crowd was singing along -it was awesome

[mranonymous]

What a terrible list by RS.

How can they miss the obvious -

"Mary Jane" by the late, great Rick James



and the greatest pro-drug song that actually warns about the consequences of overdoing it (love the video, I used to have the same hideous couch in my house)

"I was gonna eat your pussy (didn't say girl thingy, but what a great substitute) too, but then I got high"

That is sheer poetic genius ;D

[ebinchanged]

Sublime- Smoke 2 Joints

[iridethecannibus]

so many obvious ones...
Tom Petty-You don't know how it feels (or last dance with mary jane)
Kottonmouth Kings 420 (i mean, come on!),
Jahiem-Feind
Mystic Roots-Pass the Marijuana
Sublime-The Bong Song
The Bong Song that is a parody of The Thong Song (not the same as the sublime one)
Cypress Hill- Roll it up, light it up, smoke it up
Bone thugs and Biggie-Ride and get High
Bone Thugz-Mary Jane (the weed song)
Bone Thugz- Smokin' Buddha
Snoop Dogg-Lodi Dodi
Keller Williams-Illegal Smile
The Pothead Anthem
Project Pat-Smokin' Out

Yeah, i've made CDs dedicated to 420, so i'm a pro at this

[nagchampa]

wheres "everybody dance now" by c+c music factory??

[Hipster Doofus]

Not that talking about smoking in the song should be a requisite, but "Greenery" by Quasimoto is pretty sweet.

[likewhoa]

how could they forget bob marley...i'm losing faith that the rolling stone staff even listens to music from before 1990

[Jazzmaster]

No Smoke Two Joints by Sublime? WTF

and where is the Cypress Hill?

Everyone finds their more creative stoned than straight. We all can sing, dance, and write.....if we only try hard enough.
