Best "Opiate" Songs

i like putting on sigur rós, specifically "illgresi" and "fljótavík," velvet underground's self titled album, and mostly anything by team sleep or múm.
 
Pretty much any velvet underground sets an opiate mood

Perfect Day - Lou Reed
Low - Cracker

Alot of Alice in Chains

Open Heart Surgery - Brian Jonestown Massacre
Ride - Dandy Warhols

Any Radiohead

Tool - Disposition
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan
Modest Mouse - dramamine

Pillmatic - Gym Class Heroes

Oxycontin - Lil Wyte (I dont like the artist but the songs all about pharms)

Fire and Rain - James Taylor (Very good song especially when going thru W/D)
 
i'm not saying these are songs about heroin... but they're great to listen to when your fucked up on any opiate because the way most of the notes in the songs ring in your ears:

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Guns N' Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Dido - Thank You....... (this was backed on Eminem's song, "Stan"... i think)
Chi-lites - Oh Girl
Velvet Underground - Heroin
Janis Joplin - Work Me Lord
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
Loe Reed - Take a Walk On the Wild Side
Lynard Skynard - That Smell
Ozark Mountain Devils - Jackie Blue
Pink Floyd - Hey You
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You
Rolling Stones - Moonlight Mile
Rolling Stones - Sister Morphine
Supertramp - The Logical Song
The Kinks - Living On a Thin Line
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Todd Rundgren - Hello, It's Me
Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More
Uncle Kracker - Follow Me
 
Deftones - Passenger

To me it perfectly represents the progression from sickness, to rush/nodding, to mellow high, and back to sickness. Also nice to listen to while high.

Ugh, almost too perfect. A little eerie to listen to.

I thought this thread was about Tool's wonderful EP...my favorite track off of that is the title track.

I like stuff like Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles on opiates.

I like your style. Especially Russian Circles.
 
Doap Nixion - Everything's Changing
Doomtree - Last Call
Bobby hook - Mirror

Deftones- Digital Bath
Deftones- Battle Axe
The Doors- The End
Pharcyde- Passing me Bye
Felt- The Biggest Lie
Massive Attack- Angel
Prodigy- Warriors Dance
Silversun Pickups- Rusted Wheel
Tool - Eulogy
TV on the Radio- Staring At the sun
Pink Floyd- Shine on you crazy diamond 1&2
Slightly Stoopid- Killing me deep inside


you get the picture...

Digital Bath is THE nod shit.

The deftones cover of No Ordinary Love by Sade is the first song I hit when I'm on it.
 
i think you guys have covered everything i could think of, and a few more
 
dave matthews bad - number 41

when I'm nodding out and put this song on, i absolutely melt
 
Has anyone heard the new Swollen Members - my life? Its all about mad child's addiction to pain pills. Has some pretty clever and true lyrics. Also lynrd skynrd - needle and the spoon.
 
^ i the or one of the latest videos swollen members made off the album. i think they are on subnoize now. but i prefer their earlier shit.

on that drank and just zoned out on steve roach - the sleep chamber from immersion 3. dope ambient. gonna sip some mo' n' recharge the mp3 player then back to bed. no tolerance ftw woooooooot =)
 
^Yeah they are with subnoize now. I would agree that their earlier stuff is better but their newest album they just put out under subnoize isn't bad. I hope they don't go to shit now like KMK did. I like earlier KMK but since fire it up and no. 7 it seems like they have just went downhill.
 
Probably "Pigs of the Roman Empire" by The Melvins and Lustmord, or anything by either of those artists. Lustmord has more of a K'd out type vibe but still detached and druggy... The early Melvins shit, like "Hooch" or "Night Goat" off Houdini, man I get the taste of pills on the back of my throat listening to that sortof shit, "Boris" is another good one by them:

"See Boris has way of seeing through my eyes
He touches in a fashion, a master of mime
Manipulating me, my arms and legs and spine
He's got you pawed
I'm sinkin shoulder wake like a spin on through
Let 'em hum."
 
Down in a Hole-Alice In Chains
Nutshell-Alice in Chains
Saw Red(acoustic)-Sublime
Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden
Teardrop-Massive Attack
