hnibos 04-25-2007, 08:14 PM i dont think of playing 1979 when im high
Floppy Nono 04-25-2007, 08:30 PM who listens to blue monday when they're high?
monkeyfritters 04-25-2007, 08:31 PM who listens to blue monday when they're high?
ian curtis.
waltermcphilp 04-25-2007, 08:34 PM if i were high, id be lucky if i could find the cd let alone play the darn thing.
Effloresce 04-25-2007, 08:46 PM Oh look, Rolling Stone decided to shit out another meaningless "top __" list.
It's great the Pumpkins are on it and all (I guess), but they do so many of these it really doesn't mean anything. Come on... top 25 songs to play while high? :rofl:
pyrocus 04-25-2007, 08:50 PM There are sooooo many other Pumpkins songs that come to mind. For Martha, Quiet, The Aeroplane Flies High....
MidnightBeating 04-25-2007, 09:08 PM Helllllll Yeahhh
dude, if they put "for martha" on the top 25 list, the pumpkins would have sold 50,000 "adore"s over the next few weeks
but yeah my favorite stoner sp song is easily starla
Helllllll Yeahhh
i'm happy you're here, man
second post
The best Pumpkins songs to get high to are the long ones, in my opinion.
Starla, Soma, TAFH, Porcelina...
But I don't like really like 1979 when I'm sober - why would I wanna get high to it?
ciGarski 04-25-2007, 09:18 PM i don't listen to any pumpkins high. im afraid it would taint them. or the memories they give me. especially a song like for martha. thats brutally emotional
Anvil Hands 04-25-2007, 10:05 PM If i was to pick a Pumpkins song for this category it would be Obscured. :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:
