Everyone knows the real Butts psychedelic masterpiece was Boiled Dove … good luck finding that one though.

Interesting list. Misses that come to mind: Birthday Party, Blue Cheer, Gong, Alice In Chains, Jane’s Addiction…
Edit- didn’t mean to reply to previous comment. I blame the drugs.

Captain Beefheart?
Wasn’t he famously like Zappa really anti-drug, and never did anything beyond alcohol until well after this was recorded?
Yes, he came up with that sh*t sober.

Loving Igorrr at the moment. Back catalogue is COMPLETELY demented. Doesn’t mean drug use though - remember DVV/Captain Beefheart, Zappa and Viv Stanshall were not big drug hounds or were totally clean…and their music is INSANE.
Sometimes drugs make you saner and less interesting, I find.

All favourites of mine except AIC. Like some of their tunes but they always sounded like pure heroin to me.

Or despite the public ‘clean cut’ image, the Carpenters, WAYYYYY out there on diet pills (speed) and amphetamines.

I think he wanted to include a straight edge icon in his top five as a joke, but the only was he could find to do that was by being a homophobic ass.

I’m a bit disappointed not to see The Sisters of Mercy’s First and Last and Always on the list. That’s basically “Amphetamine: The Album”.

Oooooooh, so that’s where Orbital sampled it from. I had always wondered.

It disappoints me that none if the classic stoner rock bands aren’t represented. I mean, Sleep’s Dopesmoker begins with the classic lyric:
Drop out of life with bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land
And the stoner urban myth (disproven) that they blew their entire album budget on weed, which is why the album is just one loooong track. Urban mythology and Sabbath sounds are as drug culture as a pot dealer’s wool lined denim jacket. I second your Sleep recommendation.
They used so much studio production on their albums I can totally see them sucking live.
Yes, that one track on the “Smack My Crack” comp where Gibby talks about his dream of being a dentist, I played that to death back in the day.
I’d say the Butthole Surfers ‘psychedelic masterpiece’ was the entire Buttholes experience, the very concept of weirdos from Texas playing this dadaist no-wave chaos to hardcore punks who just wanted to mosh.
