Current 93 - Black Ships Ate the Sky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9q1FomLSkw)

Really, I can't think of much worse. Any dissenters?

I am just barely non-sober and... jesus christ on a segway, that was bad.  Good choice.

The video (w/ the lyrics and all) reminded me of something else as well: http://youneedalawn.ytmnd.com/ (http://youneedalawn.ytmnd.com/)

the fact that it's on YTMND adds a whole 'nother layer of shameful tastelessness as well.

Holy crap that album scares me to death when I'm totally sober in every sense. I can't image what it would be like whilst in a unstable state.

I think we should probably disregard noise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFpkNf1M6LQ), although that track kinda makes me laugh. The noises though...would not touch with a ten foot barge pole on any psychedelics.

What drugs? This is important. I'm tempted to create a list for every drug but I am kind of short on time at the moment and am just going to drop this as a general all purpose horrifying thing to see on most drugs

Doop - Doop (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tvLDm8821jQ)

Anyone who could find this song anything apart from mindrendingly horrifying on drugs is a fucking monster

My vote goes to "Psycho Buddha" by Acid Mothers Temple but I'm not sure if it can deal with some of the heavyweight mindfuckery going on here.  I mean, it's 21 minutes of unrelenting chaotic freakout, but it's not chillingly terrfiying ... just really aurally abusive.

If you are saying that listening to insane chaotic aural assaults that scrape at your soul and terrify parts of you that you thought had been lost to evolution on acid is a bad thing to be avoided, we are having vastly differing LSD trips, because that and David Bowie albums are pretty much all I can listen to when I'm on that shit.

PS I have listened to that Doop song 7 times since I posted it, fuck this song is so good, I swear I used to own the album it was on but wikipedia is telling me it was the only song made by those dudes under that name.

The worst reaction I've ever had to music when on drugs was when my roommates decided we should smoke up while having a Radiohead marathon (The Bends through Kid A including interstitial EPs).  By the time OK Computer was halfway through, I was having a huge paranoia attack.

Your reaction may vary.

I vaguely remember an album as well, but it's likely that it was a series of radio edits, or remixes. They do that sometimes if a song is popular, because while you can generally charge $20.00 for a single, people won't buy it... normally.

So what about progressive trance?  Deep house?  Electro funk?  "Nu skool breaks" or "speed garage" (whatever the hell those are)?

The point of the "I have no fucking clue what I'm talking about" option was that saying "techno" and meaning any of these things implies, well, not having a clue what you're talking about.  What does "all of it" even mean?  Anything with a 4/4 kickdrum beat?

Generally, you can also consider any form of House, D&B, Trance, Slapping your stomach several times... techno.

It doesn't really matter if it's not techno, only that they're not sure what it is they're listening to. I've also heard it called "That disco shit."

I also like Special D, I'm one of five people over the age of 17 that enjoy Happy Hardcore. I don't listen to it, all the time, but I used to. I'm of the belief that the majority of people who make fun of it, probably used to like it.

I have not heard it before, and I'm not sure what she's saying, but it's not entirely offensive to my ears. I generally don't listen to this type of music in anything other than English. I'm not saying by any means that this is "awesome" music. I just like it.

Not sure I can top this, but;

Converge - Pheonix in Flames (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89STRv9_0Ys) Only 40 seconds, so it won't wear you down in the way Black Ships will, but I would stay away from this if I was on anything besides weed.

Khanate - Too Close Enough to Touch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNwJkZuhFU) Might just be a winner. Although the version on youtube is three minutes shorter than the track should be, but that doesn't really matter.

The Current 93 album is choice, but I've never listened while on drugs.  I discovered them after the drug phase.  Such is life I suppose.

I'm only guessing here, but I'd say maybe Coil's Hellraiser themes would be not the best idea, or perhaps Tear Garden's "The Gift Of Knowledge" off their latest, The Secret Experiment.

OKAY.  Let's just say that any song which is sung in any language that thickly emphasizes consonantal sound is ruled as a bad choice for the "temporarily chemically-impaired".  Ruled out now, move along.

Also, I think if you were to listen to "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" by System of a Down while stoned you'd basically have to get your soberness back with a machete and nerves of steel.  It's an obvious choice, but it works.

There's two distinct 'sorts' of Coil, 'Moon Music' and 'Sun Music'.

Let's just say you might have had a different reaction if you'd listened to Tainted Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo3TUtRnZi4) or The First Five Minutes After Violent Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJTYIa1X06U).

Digging through my youtube favourites to find those has reminded me of some other nominees actually. Neither of these videos is SFW (particularly the second), and would particularly enhance the wrongness of listening to these songs whilst under the influence of perception-altering substances:

Nurse With Wound - I've Plummed This Whole Neighbourhood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmR9OJWV0I&feature=related)

My buddy is a huge fan of all sorts of trance. I find it to be really boring and easy to ignore when we are sober. However, when we are fucked up it is terrifying. At first it's all happy, and then all of sudden you are listening to the pounding trance beat over the sounds of some woman screaming and a circular saw being used. It's like listening to Hostel or any Saw movie besides the first one.

He also has some video mixing equipment which he likes to use to surprise us with pictures of scary clowns and other tomfoolery.
