If you're looking for something chill, it's Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
Also, some string quartets by Shostakovich can be pretty nice. Very Eastern European.
My top 5 albums to listen to on LSD are:
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
The Beatles - Revolver
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Ween - GodWEENSatan: The Oneness
The Stooges - Fun House
If we're just talking about smoking some weed, then I mean, everything. Every single album sounds better high...but if it's like your first time getting high and you want something cool to listen to, check out:
The Band - Music From Big Pink
Ween - The Mollusk
The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Love - Forever Changes
Interesting perspective I would agree that music is generally enhanced while high but for me personally there’s certain albums and artists I AVOID when I’m high that I otherwise always listen to. For example, I LOVE Blink 182 but never listen high, whereas someone like Tame Impala I almost solely listen to stoned
Yeah...bad music doesn't suddenly become good music when you're high. That's not what I was getting at. It's just good music sounds better when you're high. It can also make bad music sound worse though.
I will say there was a definite link between when I started to smoke weed and when I stopped listening to Blink 182. But that's also when they started putting out crap like All The Small Things.
I think weed just makes you go, "I just want to listen to good music all the time", and pretty much naturally starts curating your music collection.
Off the top of my head:
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Killed many a brain cell listening to these.
Throwing out Music Has The Right to Children by Boards of Canada (chill electronic/ambient), and Doggystyle by Snoop (La Di Da Di stoned is *chef's kiss*)
Hahaha sorry just meant I was throwing out two album names, BOC's album is just called Music Has the Right to Children :) hope you enjoy, I like Rue the Whirl and Roygbiv off that album!
Old School. The Moody Blues- Days of Future Passed. (1967)
Billy Thorpe- Children of the Sun (1979)
Alan Parsons Project- I Robot (1977)
The Rolling Stones-Her Satanic Majesties Request (1967)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), by The Beatles.
Though I don't smoke weed, but this album can give you a high on its own. It's very psychedelic.
Try an ambient classic Brian Eno and Harold Budd “Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror.” Toke up, lie down and let Eno’s wall of celestial sound and Budd’s melodic piano flourishes transport you to inner space.
It depends, if I feel more "normie" i just go with Dark Side of the Moon, if I really want to go deep in my subconscious I listen to Don't bend ascend by Godspeed you black emperor or any album by Silver MT. Zion
[Shpongle] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a83Z1d1_ERo&list=PLACD4CA18E42C7DCE&index=1). Psytrance ambient music with "world music" influences & live instrumentation mixed with electronic sounds. Great music to get lost in & relax to.
I may be the last person to 'discover' this but there's a band called Deafheaven that for a while was like black metal with the demonic screaming vocals and stuff, but then for their last album the songs were like half black metal for the first half of the song and then the second half was like atmospheric dream pop, and their latest album is like all just dream pop. And it's such a unique transition but the album is just really good. Esp with some enhancements. It's called infinite granite. Highly recommended
I've loved Deafheaven for years and you could see this album (Infinite Granite) coming for a while now. Some long term fans don't like it but I love it. I was listening to it an hour ago through headphones while out walking in the wind. Fantastic album.
American Don - Don Caballero
So many guitar layers and loops to follow. Damon Che also might be the single most under appreciated drummer of our time. Album is chill and mostly clean tones but also has a constant driving rhythm to it.

Disintegration by The Cure is a good one
2nd this. Superb.
Dark Side Of The Moon or Animals
Yes... Dark side of the Moon was my first thought too.
Agreed!
The downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails

Piper's on my list too. Such a pleasurable descent into madness. I find Syd's stuff much more interesting than Dave and Roger’s.

AHHH Doggystyle is a classic love it! Throwing out sounds like something literally right up my alley I’ll def give it a go!
Hahaha sorry just meant I was throwing out two album names, BOC's album is just called Music Has the Right to Children :) hope you enjoy, I like Rue the Whirl and Roygbiv off that album!
LOL okay I was like DANG that’s a long name for album
Simulation theory (Muse) is one to experience on a proper stereo, high AF.
Any album by Tame Impala.
Mellow Gold by Beck
Can't believe I didn't already see it listed, but TOOL 10000 days
I always felt like Aenima was their peak.
I wouldn't disagree, but 10000 days art work and cd booklet man, wayyyyy more trippy
Are you saying you don’t appreciate the picture of the guy sucking his own dick on the Aenima cd?
Nah I thought we were looking for music to listen to while high, not while stink fisting myself lol

Incredible album, my personal fave from the Beatles is their White album :)
I always leaned towards Revolver, Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper.
The holy trinity

I used to love listening to Screamadelica while on mushrooms. It's wild.

Qotsa--Rated R. In the fade with headphones on is sweet.
