this is kinda tough considering how many musicians use drugs, but as far as bands that detail their use in their music (or the dudes that are just known for doing ridiculous amounts of drugs):

the stooges
the velvets
royal trux
rat bastard
early pink floyd
bardo pond
spacemen 3
the jesus and mary chain
ol dirty bastard
harry pussy
early and 70s miles davis (on the corner is prolly the best soundtrack to shooting dope i can think of)
flipper
charlie parker
early mc5
jimi hendrix
sly and family stone
parliament funkadelic
james brown
early coltrane
the dwarves
eyehategod
black sabbath
early earth (check inside cover of 2, or was it phase 3?, either way, all those pills)
anal cunt
cannabis corpse (funny cannibal corpse joke band with the members of municipal waste, they talk about weed instead of dying, obviously)
sleep
xrin arms
cage (the white guy rapper who got hospitalized in the looney bin for abusing shitloads of pcp and crack and heroin and whatever the fuck else, theyre making a movie about him and shia lebeouf is going to play him HAHAHAHAH)
necro (the other whiteguy rapper who does lots of drugs)
eminem (and another white guy rapper, ever heard the drug ballad? that song kinda sums up my freshman year of colege)

i suppose thats enough

i wanna say bands like can, faust, neu!, and tangerine dream, because thats my favorite shit to get stoned to, but i have no idea if they were into drugs.

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 07:52 AM

Sly Stone!

demonrail666 06.11.2008 07:52 AM

definitely a good call on the Mary Chain. Psychocandy is a TOTAL drug album.

I loved how the BBC banned Some Candy Talking because of it's lyrics, which the band claimed had nothing to do with drugs at all. Hmm, not sure about that one Jim:

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

I'm going down to the place tonight
The damp and hungry place tonight
Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn't outshine your sparkling eyes
But it's so hard to be the one
To touch and tease and to do it all for fun
But it's too much for a young heart to take
Cause hearts are the easiest things you could break

And I talk to the filth and I walk to the door
I'm knee deep in myself
But I want to get more of that stuff
Of that stuff

Some candy talking
Talk

And I want
And I want
Some candy talking

Some candy talk

I love the way she's walking
I love the way she's talking
It's just the way she's walking
It's just the way she's talking

And I need
All that stuff
Give me some
Of that stuff
I want your candy. I want your candy
And I need
Give me some
Of your stuff
Give me some
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want stuff
