8. A song about drugs or alcohol
Velvet Underground - Heroin
This song changed my life the first time I heard it in my early teens. I had no idea music could do that. That point where Maureen Tucker misses a beat on the drums, the bottom falls out and the song just rips apart into a thousand chaotic whirling pieces, Lou Reed can't help but laughing into the mic with sheer joy, and then it finally lands in a mess of feedback and shrieking viola and just... stops.

I especially like Bowie's cover from the Ziggy Stardust movie:

And Bowie always did good VU covers. I mean, he did "Waiting for the Man" before the first VU album even came out.
