With everyone compiling best songs of all time polls to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the singles chart, MOJO has put together a list of the greatest drugs song of all time. The Jefferson Airplane track 'White Rabbit', memorably used during a dope-smoking scene in the movie 'Platoon', has been voted greatest drug track by the music experts who voted. Also in the list is the Beatles' LSD inspired 'Tomorrow Never Knows', Oasis' Morning Glory and Lennon's 'Cold Turkey', inspired by his own method of kicking heroin. Neil Young's anti-drugs track 'The Needle And The Damage Done', inspired by his guitarist Danny Whitten's heroin problems, also made the Top 100.
