See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs, man.
Drugs have been the subject of countless songs over the years. We can all name "Luce in the Sky With Diamonds" (though John Lennon always denied it), but what else gets you going?
If you're anything like me, you spent years flicking through the liner notes of every new cd you bought and studying them with intent. The cover art is the center piece of the physical packaging of a new album, so which albums cover art stand out best to you?
I'm being self-induldgent here, but everyone loves The Beatles, don't they? Plenty of songs to choose from, what are your top five songs by these Gods of rock 'n roll?
Now this should be an easier one.
Am I allowed to just vote for "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead off the Romeo and Juliette soundtrack 5 times? Hit us up in the comments.
There are plenty of candidates for the top five greatest debut albums of all time. Some came from bands that went on to have long and successful careers, some came and then disappeared for whatever reason, and some just found it too hard to follow their own opening act.
Here are my top five debut albums:
1. Are You Experienced? – The Jimi Hendrix Experience
2. My Aim Is True – Elvis Costello
3. Freak Out! – Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention
4. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses
5. De La Soul – 3 Feet High And Rising
Hard to go past somebody who, on their very first album, made every one of his peers seem hopelessly out of date.
This could have been a top twenty or more, but I was strict on myself, limiting it to five with no “honourable mentions” or other cheats to fit a few more in. My top two are absolutely set in stone, but the rest could have been shuffled around with others from the top ten. I leaned toward personal favourites over influential classics.
Let us know your own top five in the comments. I’m interested to see how many of my near-misses make it in to others’ lists.

Yes, I just quoted a Coldplay song. Not sure it's actually about Science though. What are your top five songs about science?
We all love Australian music, but what about the songs about Australia? It can be a song that is set in Australia, references it or simply talks about something Australian.
And yes, we all know about Land Down Under. Let's try for something else. Oh, and no John Williamson either, ok? Or Slim Dusty. I could go on....
Just for @_struct. I couldn't complete a list of five, but i'm keen to see what everyone else comes up with!
Hit us up in the comments with your top five!
Ok, this should be an easier one (I think). This is our first one not from the movie, post up your top five songs over 10 minutes in length. I'll post up mine a little later to get the ball rolling.
We like to make top 5 lists, High Fidelity style. Please add your own top 5 lists in the comments.
