You guys and your Pink Floyd. I mean, sure, it’s cool and all and I get the allure. But there is other cool music out there. I’m starting to think the first time anyone trips, whoever they are with tells them, “you need to listen to Dark Side of the Moon!” Makes sense—it almost guarantees at least an ok trip, maybe a great one. But in order to really test the mettle of our younger flock, let’s start pushing what is necessary for them to really grind that first one out. My vote is Katy Perry. If anyone can successfully brave that shit the first time through the void, they are truly special.

Watching The Wall while tripping was all the rage when I was a teenager, but I really only thought of the first 3 or 4 albums as "properly trippy." First albums I remember "tripping to," though, were "Reign in Blood," "Straight Outta Compton," and "Paul's Boutique." I personally think that just about anything will do if you're into it, but "Paul's Boutique" definitely belongs at the top of the list.

I dunno, though, "Dark Side of the Moon" always struck me as more of a sober reflection on things, like "we're finally making bank and have access to all of thia studio technology and just want to do a little tribute for our bonkers friend who's no longer in the band."

Old guy here with perhaps a more eclectic call on tripping music. The first vinyl album I ever bought was 'Traffic' the self titled second album of Stevie Winwood's and Dave Mason's fabled and short-lived band, released in 1968.  It's old school psychedelic rock with an amazing arc, and very worth a listen from front to back if you ever want to trip to music the old-fashioned way.

I confess I have never heard this so I'm going to spin it right now.

Guys I confess that I've been a coward my whole life and beating around the bush about my own mental health. I have been depressed and traumatized since I was very young, and I want you all to know that I know the way now, and though I may yet again deviate, I will find my way back no matter what. I've been cracked wide open and have found nothing but love and light inside.

You have my word. I'm here. I am with you.  I love you all so much and I want to once again thank you all for all the support over the years and I look forward to many more years of service.

Please have a look at this thread and submit your option as soon as possible or before January 6th.

Paul’s Boutique is spun in my house quite often. The ultimate Beastie Boys record IMO. I’ve never once thought to eat some mush and spin it. This ends very soon! 

I’m no expert on Pink Floyd, and can’t say some dumb shit like “they suck,” because that would be a lie. I can say that about Katy Perry, though.   I did really zone out while tripping on acid once when I was young when that cash register kept chiming in “Money” and liking it, even though sober it’s not my favorite song. Lately I have been digging tripping with blues and folky stuff. Townes Van Zandt, Billy Bragg, Theolonius Monk, Muddy Waters. It’s all been excellent to zone out to.
