Music inspired by LSD

Hey guys I'm looking to start a collection of music inspired by LSD.
If you could help me compile a list of songs (with artists) either about LSD or inspired by it I would really appreciate it.
Thanks ahead of time.
edited to fix grammar (once again) and the gay title
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

Sgt Peppers without a doubt. It may not have been directly influenced, but it was going on at the time, man.

Your not gonna get any solid for sures. You can say, they were doing LSD at the time but to get just LSD inspired music is to get life inspired music. Anyway: The Grateful Dead Jimi Hendrix Pink Floyd Led Zepplin The Rolling Stones The Doors
Need I go on? Most bands have at least a psychedelic album.
More modern: The Mars Volta The Flaming Lips String Cheese Incident
Most bands, good ones anyway, are usually influenced by drugs. Not just LSD, though.

1983 by Hendrix, but mostly anything from electric ladyland... that album IS LSD.

What about more specific songs that are about an LSD trip?
For instance Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles.

1983, I just told you It is pschedelia in music. Also if you want a song with LSD on the title, The stars that play with laughing's sam dice by Hendrix talks about taking LSD and STP togheter... trippy, but not as much as 1983

"Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. "Are You Experienced" by Hendrix "Break On Through" by The Doors
Really though, look up any album made between 66-68 and you'll find what you're looking for.

Get the song "The greatest pac-man victory in history" by Aesop Rock. It's about a summer where one of his friends wanted to beat the arcade game pac-man while tripping on acid. Aesop Rock already has a very heavily psychedelic stream of consciousness dadist ish style, and it works here. There is one part where he goes on for a minute at breakneck speed and every three word set starts with L-S-D. Lost Summers Display Late Show Dave Letterman Shitty Diner Life sucks dickhead lost system definitife or something like that, and he just tears it up and goes on forever, and you're just like . It's really quite good. If you really hate rap music, you should be doubly sure to check it out because it will encourage you to listen to more aesop rock and he is so good.
I think the best songs influenced by psychedelics are the songs not directly about the psychedelics. Something like most of Lateralus is very heavy on the psychedelic flavor, but has a psychedelic take on stuff that isn't psychedelics. Do you want this sort of thing too?

I think the LSD music of the 90s and 00s is going to be a lot better then the classic stuff. The guys in the 90s and 00s have a lot more freedom because they have access to so many more options and much better technology, allowing them to better realize their vision. Not to knock on the 60s stuff, but Tool's third eye (another one that should be on your list), or much of the IDM stuff just tears the shit out of the 60s stuff. That sort of music just seems so much more aware to me. I dunno. I really like the old stuff too, don't get me wrong.

"Are You Experienced" by Hendrix
Yep, that one talks about having taken acid and it's trying to explain how it is... but there are trippier songs by him, IMEO. "Have you ever been" also talks about it:
Quote:
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN (TO ELECTRIC LADYLAND) Lyrics
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN, TO ELECTRIC LADYLAND?
THE MAGIC CARPET WAITS FOR YOU SO DON'T YOU BE LATE OH
I WANT TO SHOW YOU DIFFRENT EMOTIONS I WANT TO LEARN YOU THE SOUNDS AND MOTONS
ELECTRIC WOMEN WAITS FOR YOU AND ME SO IT'S TIME WE TAKE A RIDE
WHILE WE FLY OVER THE LOVE FILLED SEA LOOK UP AHEAD I SEE THE LOVE LAND SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
MAKE LOVE MAKE LOVE...
I WANT TO SHOW YOU ANGELS WILL SPREAD THEIR WINGS, SPREAD THEIR WINGS I WANT TO SHOW YOU GOOD AND EVIL LAY SIDE BY SIDE WHILE ELECTRIC LOVE PENETRATES THE SKY I WANT TO SHOW YOU I WANT TO SHOW YOU I WANT TO SHOW YOU I WANNA SHOW YOU
Quote:
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? Lyrics
IF YOU CAN JUST GET YOUR MIND TOGETHER THEN COME ON ACROSS TO ME WE'LL HOLD HANDS AND THEN WE'LL WATCH THE SUN RISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA BUT FIRST
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? AH HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED? WELL I HAVE
I KNOW I KNOW YOU'LL PROBABLY SCREAM AND CRY THAT YOUR LITTLE WORLD WON'T LET YOU GO BUT WHO IN YOUR MEASLY LITTLE WORLD ARE TRYING TO PROVE THAT YOUR'RE MADE OUT OF GOLD AND CAN'T BE SOLD
SO A ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED? WELL, I HAVE
AH LET ME PROVE IT TO YOU
TRUMPETS AND VIOINS I CAN A HEAR IN THE DISTANCE I THINK THEY'RE CALLING OUR NAMES MAYBE NOW YOU CAN'T HEAR THEM BUT YOU WILL HAHA IF YOU JUST TAKE HOLD OF MY HAND
OH BUT ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED?
NOT NECESSARILY STONED BUT BEAUTIFUL
But still 1983 is the best option Seriously.

lyrics about lsd and music form the time aren't really lsd inspired to me. i think lsd is generally beyond conventional music anyway
why limit to that substance anyway?

Well, that's what he says... Sure he started with the drawing, but when you're writting a song you DO notice those things. I think he just lied about it
At least Hendrix didn't try to hide obvious things

Paul said they did LSD in an interview, so why would they try to hide it? Anyone who knows something about the Beatles knows its about a painting.

Definately man. Open to any suggestions about psychedelic music.

I don't know if you were asking me but yeah I listen to some hip hop music.

Not exactly limiting to LSD. LSD has a very special place in my heart and mind that's all. Any suggestions are open though.

Yeah, I also knew about it, but still... I don't know, he MUST have noticed it was there. I see two action cuorses from there: -Keep it that way intentionally, knowing it had LSD on it and as a hint -or just leave it like that not caring about it.
But I'm sure he knew about it when he wrote it, that's all I'm saying.
