    No question, its "White Lines (don't do it)" by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel But why the obsession with recreational pharmaceuticals anyway?

    The LAs - There She Goes... (?) That Velvet Underground tune Heroin is really really good, The Stones - Sister Morphine is good too, one of my favourites though is Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson - Who put the benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's ovaltine, found it on some weird jazz/blues compilation, very good

    I truly cannot believe that there is not ONE rock song about heroin called "Chasing The Dragon". I am shocked. Must email Pete Doherty...

    Of course there is, LA Guns (one half of what became Guns'N'Roses I believe) had a song called that. How do I know? google, how else...

    I think all these tunes deserve a mention; My Brother's a Basehead by De La Soul Cocaine In My Brain by Dillinger Feel Good Hit Of The Summer by Queens of The Stone Age Star Guitar by The Chemical Brothers Floating by Jape Oh and most of the first two Cypress Hill albums as well.
