Minor Threat - Straight Edge. Alternatively, you could go with some Youth of Today. Nothing like some militant anti-drug hardcore to cheer up ones day. ---

Oh yeah, let’s not forget Cypress Hill, who probably haven’t written a single song that wasn’t about pot. ---

As for Pink Floyd… In my youth, I found _Animals_ to be their best album to listen to when, er, in an altered state. Give Hector Berlioz’s _Symphonie Fantastique_ a shot too, if you have access. Oh, and you’ll definitely want to pop in some peppy show tunes. [sub]I am going to hell for this, I know.[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > Just thought of another one: Yello’s entire catalog. You could start with Si, Senor, the Hairy Grill, and Oh, Yeah. Personally, I like to start off with _Who’s Gone_, move on to _Rubberbandman_, then _Blender_, _Tied Up_, and _Time Freeze_. And it’s nice to find another Yello fan here on the Straight Dope. I’ve felt, for a long time, that I’m the only person in the country that’s ever heard of 'em. (Oh, I also like to throw They Might Be Giants in the mix.) As for Pink Floyd or Bob Marley… well, I just too lost in their music to actually pay attention. I also enjoy some George Acosta.
