No exceptions. I know it's not what you aked for, but I've been looking for an excuse to post this for sooooo long. Thank you ChristmasChild, your name is very fitting. |

Really? why? considering all the greatest music from the 50's-now and all of the future for ever, have been created through the influence of narcotics. anyway it has to be Heroin by Velvet Underground. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 717 Joined: 4 Feb 2008   | Dream Police by Cheap Trick It's not outwardly about drugs, but I always thought of it as a song about paranoa and insanity that could be interpreted as drug-caused That's just me though |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 360 Joined: 10 Jun 2008     | There are none, because drugs are responsible for far more good music than the absence of drugs. This thread is full of FAIL. |

And how much incredible music was made before that without drugs? I'll take that over most (not all) of the crap coming out since the 60's. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1913 Joined: 24 Sep 2008   | Probably Zip Zap Rap by Devistatin' Dave, the Turntable Slave. ...Actually if I'm being serious, he's clearly not an anti-drug performer, but Jeffrey Lewis' The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane and "No LSD Tonight" (which I can't seem to find) songs are about his terrible experience with acid and his frustration at people hearing the song and trying to sell him acid, respectively. |

Might just be me, but how is this anti-drug? |

Just watched it on Youtube. |

Beat Writer Posts: 162 Joined: 22 Jun 2008 | Also "Psycho" by System Of A Down? Yes music has been made by drugs in many cases, pretty much all of Papa Roach's songs seem to stem from drug and alcohol abuse (my favorite band). But I would still much prefer the world without drugs. |

Great Balls of Fire was a good ol' song! Yet I doubt more that 10% of any of you have heard of it... |

That video raped my mind then flushed it down a toilet just to watch it get raped by passing dogs. I can't say I know one anti-drug song. (just shows how well they are doing there job) |
Beat Writer  Posts: 221 Joined: 11 Sep 2008    | The D.A.R.E. song. Greatest anti-drug song ever. Play it at my work all the time. |

I mean the sentence about the advert didn't make much sense. Didn't particularly like the advert though. I mean, I've never taken coke and am sensible enough not to, so surely it can't be good that even I feel patronised by it? |
Press Junketeer Posts: 492 Joined: 24 May 2008  |
Definitely the best one. Also hilarious. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1564 Joined: 6 Jun 2008 |
Ohhh...you mean your last sentence: 'Anyone (UK) seen those new Talk to Frank adverts with David Mitchell as a drug smuggling dog?'. Doh. 'Don't do this' adverts always seem patronising. |

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say, most of the best music scenes are fueled by one drug or another. Heroin is an ANTI drug song?!?!?! Oh well, it's still one of their best. |

If you say so, dude. But that kind of logic just gets people on stage who think they're among the likes of Jim Morrison who perform horribly when a bunch of people paid good money (sometimes a decent amount too) to see a good concert. I'm not saying all music is bad when drugs are involved, but there's not nearly as much good music as some people would have others believe. I always liked that line in "It's Tricky" by Run DMC: Drugs aren't necessarily bad, but too many people take it too far w/o realizing it. EDIT: For the record, that's obviously just my opinion. And I respect that have your own opinion as well on the matter. So I'd really like to avoid any heated wars here. |

And I appreciate that. |

And much good music died before it existed beccause of drugs. The Doors, Hendrix, Elvis, several memebres of The Beatles... |

Drugs are an unfortunate part of our society. At least sometimes though, a band has enough sense to strike out against them in the form of songs. Name these bands, and win the general respect of the Escapist community.
Powder
Cocaine (Yes this IS anti-drug)
Your turn (If you say semi-charmed life i will rip your nipples off...)
