Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
;)
The first song is worth the entire album, earning it the 5 star award: considered by many to be the greatest guitar solo ever, the late Eddie Hazel's "Maggot Brain" is a depressing, bluesy, acid trip that was recorded in one take. All it took was George Clinton telling Eddie to "play like your mother just died," and Maggot Brain thus was born. The song opens with a dreary guitar backdrop and "echoing" drums that mysteriously fade out once Hazel gets into the solo; reportedly, this is because Clinton found that they "sucked" in comparison to Hazel's improvization. The song progressively gets more and more intense, until it peaks at the middle; but at the end it gets as intense as before. Unlike many other solos out there, Maggot Brain succeeds at having both an immsensely skillful player and the perfect instrumentation. Rarely, if not never, does P-Funk play a concert without Maggot Brain; it is one of their hallmark songs. If I haven't convinced you yet, the ten minutes of Maggot Brain are not worth missing%)

I don't even understand this thread... what the hell is "trippy"?
Click to expand...

Trippy...is hard to describe, basically, something that kind of alters your mind in whichever way, while on drugs or sober. This could be music, lights, or even someones face.
 
Trippy is subjective man, basically, whatever gets YOU off.
But you have to admit that trance/electronic music usually caters to a psychadelic experience moreso than death metal...unless death metal gets you off. You see?
 
"under the surface trying to break through... decifering the codes in you"

could be a crazy LSD trip, K-hole, morphine dream.... or settling on an identity of your own?

It's cool dude... I'm convinced that Amber by 311 is about shooting smack.. to each his own
 
I'm not really into individual songs as much as I am full albums, so I'll make a quick list of what albums I find 'trippiest' so to speak.

All of Mr. Bungle's albums
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagynecologist
Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy
All of the Secret Chiefs 3 albums
All of Slayer's albums
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Sun 0))) - Flight of the Behemoth
All of Ministry's albums
The Mermen - A Glorious Lethal Euphoria
Beach Boys - Smile
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
All of Infected Mushroom's albums
Mu - Out of Breach
Melt Banana - Cell Scape
All of Psychic TV's albums
All of Throbbing Gristle's albums
All of Stevie Wonder's albums from the 70s
Tool - Undertow
Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
 
"Lost In The K-Hole"- The Chemical Brothers

Undisputedly referencing the disosociative drug ketamine
 
Isn't it weird how different genres of music apply to different drugs? I've also thought about how different decades feature different drugs (except weed has been featured in pretty much everone).

This is my take on it but I may be wrong since I haven't been around for that long. Correct me where I might have made a mistake.
'60s- Cannabis and LSD-25
'70s- Cannabis and Cocaine (later in the decade)
'80s- Cocaine, Cocaine, and did I mention Cocaine? Also, crack plagues the nation in the latter years of the 80's.
'90's- Heroin and Pharmaceuticals.
2000-2010- MDMA, Pharmaceuticals, and Disocociatives such as Ketamine
(By the way, these are merely my assumptions of the most widely-used or known substances, not the only drugs being used).
 
anything by neurosis or isis, assuming were discussing non electronic music.

radio head blows thats trippy music for college yppies that smoke beaster and get REAL FUCKED UP
 
Why you son of a bitch (says the same way as Chris Farley in the "Columbian Decaf Coffee Crystals" skit from SNL). Radiohead is beyond music and beyond amazing.
