Led Zeppelin-How Many More Times (9/10)- From Led Zeppelin I, one of my favorite songs from my favorite Zeppelin album. The guitar riff is one of my favorites and the bassline is heavy and the drums are crashing. The end of the song just completely rocks.

The Beatles-Within You Without You (7/10)-From Sgt. Pepper,written by George Harrison, mostly sounds like an Indian folk song with a sitar and drums. ""Within You Without You" was written on a harmonium at the house of long-time Beatles friend, Klaus Voormann, while "there were lots of joints being smoked"(wiki). Very psychedelic and mystical lyrics.

Van Halen-Panama (8/10)- Who doesn't love this song? One of Van Halen's best, hardest rocking songs off of their album 1984. Badass song for when you're doing 100 on the highway.

Miles Davis-Israel (9/10)- Very short (2.18) song from The Birth of The Cool. Great organization, upbeat and catchy. Pretty tightly structured for Miles Davis.

Blue Oyster Cult-Then Came the Last Days of May (7/10)-From BOC's first album.(self titled)Very chill slow and rhythmic song with some funky guitar work. The song is about a few friends who went down to Mexico to buy some pot but it turned out to be a set up and they got busted.

Muddy Waters-Marijuana Hemp Blues (10/10)- No-nonsense blues by one of the genre's greatest. "Bring me champaign when I'm thirsty, bring me reefer when I want to get high". This song makes you feel like you're in a smoke filled bar surrounded by lots of loose women getting drunk on champaign and smoking a fattie with some old black bass player who's talkin about getting high in the good ol days. "Well there shouldn't be no law against people that want to smoke a little dope". "Well I'm gonna stick with my reefer, ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine". Wise words.
