Pink Floyd - DSOTM (cannabis)
Beatles - Sgt Pepper (cannabis / LSD)
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch a Fire (cannabis)
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (heroin)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (alcohol)
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks (heroin)
Jeff Buckley - Grace (heroin)
Radiohead - Kid A (cannabis)
...
here's a list of classic albums The RS 500 Greatest Albums of All Time : Rolling Stone
the real question might be : what classic album was made WITHOUT drugs
and
do we have to take drugs to make a classic record ? |
The Rolling Stones - many records, but especially Satanic Majestys Request.
A side note - I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that The Sex Pistols made Never Mind The Bollocks under the influence of heroin, as it is highly doubtful that Sid Vicious actually played anything on that album at all - I believe all the bass parts were dubbed in by the guitar player. I do imagine that a large amount of alcohol was involved.
