[MattWithABeard]

ween - zoloft
 drive by truckers - zoloft

[killsaly]

Nirvana - Lithium

[SPARX]

Cramps - Drug Train

[MattWithABeard]

Talking Heads - Drugs
 NOFX - Drugs are Good

[saintangelsin]

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.

 Oh and also, add Iggy Pop - Night Clubbing to the list.

Lust for Life is really just about a modern guy who has a lust for life.

Actually, it could be considered an anti drug song.
 
 Here comes Johnny Yen again
 With the liquor and drugs
 And a flesh machine
 He's gonna do another strip tease
 
 Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
 I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
 About something called love
 Yeah, something called love
 Well, that's like hypnotising chickens
 
 Well, I'm just a modern guy
 Of course, I've had it in the ear before
 'Cause of a lust for life
 'Cause of a lust for life
 
 I'm worth a million in prizes
 With my torture film
 Drive a G.T.O.
 Wear a uniform
 All on government loan
 
 I'm worth a million in prizes
 Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
 No more beating my brains
 No more beating my brains
 With the liquor and drugs
 With the liquor and drugs
 
 Well, I'm just a modern guy
 Of course, I've had it in my ear before
 'Cause, of a lust for life (lust for life)
 'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo)
 I've got a lust for life (oooh)
 Got a lust for life (oooh)
 Oh, a lust for life (oooh)
 Oh, a lust for life (oooh)
 A lust for life (oooh)
 I got a lust for life (oooh)
 Got a lust for life
 
 Well, I'm just a modern guy
 Of course, I've had it in my ear before
 'Cause I've a lust for life
 'Cause I've a lust for life.
 
 Well, here comes Johnny Yen again
 With the liquor and drugs
 And a flesh machine
 I know he's gonna do another strip tease
 
 Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
 Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
 About something called love
 Oh Love, love, love
 Well, that's like hypnotising chickens.
 
 Well, I'm just a modern guy
 Of course, I've had it in the ear before
 And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
 'Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
 Got a lust for life
 Yeah, a lust for life
 I got a lust for life
 Oh, a lust for life
 Got a lust for life
 Yeah a lust for life
 I got a lust for life
 Lust for life [repeat and fade]
