Maggot Brain There is officially not a better stoner
album on earth. If I were a guy who did whip-its and smoked
some weed in high school, I probably would have listened to
Maggot Brain more than a couple times. If I were
a guy who was forced by his friends to watch The
Wall on repeat and sit staring at a ceiling while an incredible
ten-minute guitar solo that literally makes the walls melt.
The rest of the album's six tracks are all blues, gospel and
soul, and stoney-ness. To think that people's minds weren't
blown in 1971 when this thing came out is amazing to me, but
I certainly know that it made 1989 an interesting year.
