    Gorillaz - 'Gorillaz'

    Gorillaz - 'Gorillaz'

    [ranking: 15]
    Damon Albarn admitted years after the release of the debut Gorillaz album in 2001 that he and his partner Jamie Hewlett were often under the influence of H while creating the songs and cartoons for the groundbreaking project. 
    "I used to go to work and take [H] in the studio and then stop when I came home. That's why I say it's five days a week and two days off, and that's how I existed for several years," Albarn told British GQ, adding that he doesn't believe he would've been able to create something like Gorillaz unless he and Hewlett were in their "own worlds."

    Lou Reed - 'Berlin'

    Lou Reed - 'Berlin'

    [ranking: 11]
    Lou Reed's 1973 album Berlin was a concept album that followed his successful solo debut Transformer. It told the story of a couple who struggled with dependence on illicit substances. The former Velvet Underground frontman used Berlin's 10 songs to touch on substance dependence, domestic cruelty, street workers, and suicide.
    The ambitious rock opera was considered a commercial and critical failure for years. However, many now consider it one of Reed's most compelling works.

    Fleetwood Mac - 'Rumours'

    Fleetwood Mac - 'Rumours'

    [ranking: 6]
    Fleetwood Mac's reputation for dysfunction was almost as big as their reputation for indulging heavily in controlled substances and alcohol. Their massive album Rumours, the second to feature Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, was quite accomplished with the help of coke - which the band allegedly took to stay awake and alert during marathon recording sessions. 
    It also masked the emotional problems happening between band members at the time, which included the divorce of Christine and John McVie, as well as the breakup of Nicks and Buckingham. 
    "You felt so bad about what was happening that you did a line to cheer yourself up," Nicks told Mojo. The substance was such a big part of the album that the band debated thanking their dealer in the liner notes.
    "I don't know if I would have written 'Songbird' had I not had a couple of toots of [coke] and a half-bottle of champagne and I just couldn't sleep, or written any of the songs that were on that album because I think we were all pretty loaded," Christine McVie recalled during an interview the BBC.

    David Bowie - 'Station To Station'

    David Bowie - 'Station To Station'

    [ranking: 5]
    David Bowie's 1976 album Station to Station was both a brilliant piece of art-rock history and the documentation of an illicit substance-fueled and dark period in Bowie's life. His coke use had reached an all-time high, and he'd begun suffering from coke-induced psychosis.
    According to the book David Bowie's Low by Hugo Wilcken, the condition caused him to hallucinate. Supposedly, he once called his wife and said he suspected that witches and warlocks were trying to steal his semen and use it for black magic.
    His coke use would cause him to stay up for six or seven days at a time. "By the end of the week my whole life would be transformed into this bizarre nihilistic fantasy world of oncoming doom, mythological characters, and imminent totalitarianism," he later recalled of the recording sessions. 

    The Rolling Stones - 'Exile On Main St.'

    The Rolling Stones - 'Exile On Main St.'

    [ranking: 2]
    The story of The Rolling Stones' classic Exile On Main St. is one full of excess and the use of controlled substances. Recorded in the basement of a French mansion rented by guitarist Keith Richards, the band surrounded themselves with dealers and users throughout the entire process. They even hired Jean de Breteuil, who was known as the "dealer to the stars," to supply extra-pure pink H from Thailand to the band and team. 
    Things got so bad that at one point, engineer Andy Johns found Richards passed out with a needle in his arm and blood splattered on the walls. Johns poked the guitarist to see if he was alive, and Richards immediately picked up a guitar and started playing. 
    Despite the heavy usage, the band managed to create an album that some view as a masterpiece. In addition, they maintained a "very, very loose" writing process, as singer Mick Jagger put it, along the way.

Great music has been influenced by everything from falling in love to breaking up and drugs - lots of it. For decades, illicit substances have played a major part in music and have had a significant influence on some of the greatest albums ever made. The '70s, in particular, was a big decade for controlled substances and excess, thanks to bloated album budgets and an insanely profitable music industry. Black Sabbath tried to name an album Snowblind in ode to their coke use, and many musicians were kicked out of bands for taking their usage a bit too far.

Even as the musical landscape changed dramatically over the years, there were still plenty of illicit substances to go around, from LSD and coke to ecstasy. Here are some of the most drug-influenced recordings in history.
