Lots of wu-tang here. Interesting, but not in a bad way.

Pink Floyd - Meddle (which I'm not as into today), Piper at the Gates of Dawn (which I am)

For the most part I'm still totally into all of that stuff, except where otherwise noted. And I don't even smoke pot anymore.

That's still teenage, though most 18-19 year olds don't think so.

I nearly never listened to music while smoking pot as a teenager (it was usually outside of high school with a bunch of friends). Anyway back then I was mainly into heavy and thrash metal (Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Pantera and so on), not the best music to listen to when you're high.

Huh? I don't think any of those bands would have sold more than ten records if it weren't for weed! Seriously, without the sweet leaf, metal would never have even happened.

Never really smoked pot much but I remember getting high one time and putting BMR on and I just layed down in the dark and "Intro" was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.

Dr.Dre- The Chronic
Anything Chopped & Screwed
Sleep- Dopesmoker
Electric Wizard- Dopethrone (*The first time I smoked at 18 I left the party to listen to this album very loudly in the dark and eat corn chips)

Fair enough. None of the records you list were out when I was a teenager (and by teenager, I had to go to 18 & 19, because at 16 & 17 I didn't smoke pot yet and hadn't discovered Sonic Youth and broken out of the AOR FM radio box the smothered the world at the time.)
