Spiritualized are a band missing from this list. Their whole entire catalog could pass for songs about drugs.
 
 A few others I'd add to the list:
 
 1. Pulp - This is Hardcore
 2. Blur - Song 2 or Beetlebum
 3. Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze (actually drinking inspired that one oddly enough)
 4. The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar
 5. Marilyn Manson - Dope show, and I Don't Like The Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me)
 6. My Bloody Valentine - anything from Loveless could easily pass as drug music
 7. Crystal Method - Trip Like I Do
 8. Apollo 4-40 - Electro Glide In Blue
 9. Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar
 10. Massive Attack - Karmacoma
 11. The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
 12. Huey Lewis and the News - I Want a New Drug
 13. The Cure - Anything from Pornography. A friend told me that album was written while Robert was doing drugs. Makes sense!
 14. The Pixies- Where is my Mind?
 15. NIN - Hurt
 
 That's all I can think of that hasn't been stated yet.

The Last Shot, from Legendary Hearts. It may be harder NOT to find a drug reference in most of Lou's earlier material. Wise man though, and still buff I hear   ;)

"Lust for Life" is the best and best-known song from your days with Bowie in Berlin. How much of it is autobiography?
 
 It's William Burroughs, from The Ticket That Exploded and The Soft Machine. I loved that Dr. Benway line: "Love, what is it anyway? It's just like when you hypnotize a chicken." And there was Johnny Yen, the Venusian green boy -- he's gonna sell you the love con. He'll go through your closet while you're staring into space. I was mixing that with personal experience.

i interpret that song as being about someone who wants to be kept in check and doesn't want to get too full of himself: "if you see me getting mighty, if you see me getting high - knock me down, i'm not bigger than life".

Okay. Probably about 40% of the Raggae songs out there. LOL. They all run together in my head. Bet GGW could make a list a mile long. He's our Raggae Dub Master.

Isn't that kind of like on the Simpsons when they go to Duff Gardens and the teen band Hooray for Everything does a very g-rated version of "Walk on the Wild Side"? Maybe they could do "Love for Life".
