Top 5 Stoner Bands of the Last 50 Years

Musical Highlights from 5 Decades

Not to be confused with stoner rock which is a type of slower heavy metal with a heavy bass focused edge and has a blues-rock rhythm. While this genre of music tends to aim its music towards a stoner audience, in many ways the culture and ethos tends to surround the cannabis seeds and legal highs industries that exist today. Their music and image has on many levels become synonymous with cannabis culture and may well be a staple of many stoners record collections. Judge for yourself...<br><br> Cypress Hill<br><br> This California based critically acclaimed hip-hop band have sold many millions of albums worldwide. One of the main subjects of their music is the growing, smoking and appreciation of cannabis culture. This is a feature of their image and works well with their rock/hip-hop cross over albums.<br><br> Track names include: 'Hits from the Bong', 'Dr Green Thumb', 'Stoned is the Way of the Walk', 'I Want to Get High' and 'Legalize It'.<br><br> Jimi Hendrix<br><br> Jimi Hendrix is well known for his appreciation of drugs of all shapes and sizes. He is certainly a favourite selection in many weed smokers playlists. <br><br> Track names include: 'Purple Haze' – Purple Haze is of course the name of a particular strain of marijuana.<br><br> Bob Marley & The Wailers<br><br> Bob Marley was as famed for his love of all things green as he was for his ultra chilled reggae beats. Hailing from the great country of Jamaica, where the green haze surrounds the island, even though it is technically illegal, the weed can be felt seeping through every note of every song Bob Marley has ever produced. <br><br> Track names include: 'Marijuana', 'Rasta Revolution' and 'Survival'.<br><br> Pink Floyd<br><br> This English rock band is more accurately described as psychedelic rock. For every smoke down happening somewhere, there is a Pink Floyd album playing, possibly even lined up to play along to 'The Wizard of Oz' for a particularly trippy experience. Their mix of hazy drug lyrics mixed with anti-establishment themes make for the perfect stoner band.<br><br> Track names include: 'Comfortably Numb' – enough said.<br><br> Grateful Dead<br><br> If anyone plays like a psychedelic high experience, it is the Grateful Dead. Their mix of genres and often long improvised jazz-like sets has stuck in the mind of a marijuana loving generation. Their lyrics in particular stand out as being incredibly vivid drug-like tales.<br><br> Track names include: 'What a Long Strange Trip It's Been' and 'Sugar Magnolia'.
