We all know that the 2 go hand in hand. Looking back to the 60's forward, you can see that artists are drastically influenced by the drugs they use and it shows in their music.

I'd say (in no particular order)

Alcohol
Weed
Opiates/heroine
Psychedelics
Coke/amphetamines

Which drug would you say is most responsible for influencing music?

Heroin is equally responsible for the creation of great music and the destruction of great musicians.

LSD is the best to listen to music on.

Opiates, specifically heroin, is responsible for the most good music. Pretty much every one of those guys in 60-70s loved them some smack

I'd think PCP had the biggest influence on music, maybe not the best but it would definitely influence it something crazy.

Heroine.

So much amazing music has been created on it, but its a double edged sword. Gotta sell your soul to the devil to create said music.

Alcohol would be the last thing on my list. I actually like remembering the music.

For rock musicians of the 60's- LSD; for jazz musicians of the 50's & 60's- heroin.

Cant really pick one over the other.

I would say psychedelics are first.

After that its a crap shoot. All the great artists in the 60's and 70's were on heroin and speed.

90's music was most influenced by meth.

That's quite a list of drugs and I am sure they all had an impact on lyrics, but I think the lyrics

Ooo eee, ooo ah ah
Ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang

found in the 60s hit Witch Doctor, were most likely influenced by extremely high doses of sucrose.

I'd say hooch and cocaine...it's the two drugs pretty much every artist from 50's-Present have in common. Probably pot as well
