20. Never Meant (Truant, 2003)
“Never Meant” has the band dipping into some jazz and reggae stylings. And then there’s just plain straight-forward rockers”
19. Good (For a Woman) (American Pie 2 – Music From The Motion Picture, 2001)
” It’s very underrated and deserves so much more attention. It’s an inspiring song that tells about a loving couple who hung out around a creek a long time ago.”
18. Dirty Bomb (Always and Forever, 2015)
“Best song from their new album. I’m so happy Alien Ant Farm has maintained their talent. Sad to see Ty leave but they still sound good. Hoping for at least one album in the future, and Always And Forever is very promising.”
17. Flesh and Bone (Anthology, 2001)
“Alien Ant Farm really had their own niche. They were a bit on the heavy rock side. But they were extremely tongue in cheek.”

16. Happy Death Day (Anthology, 2001)
“Happy death day isn’t a song about killing everyone in the world or something. It is about when you hate someone so much and you wish them dead, but in the back of your mind you know that is they did die you would be devastated.- probably a 7- but the lyrics make it better.
15. Calico (Anthology, 2001)
“I don’t really GET this song, it’s REALLY REALLY meaningless, (or so I think) but its still cool. Another nearly perfect song that is combines the band’s strong points. “
14. S.S. Recognize (Greatest Hits, 1999)
“One of my favourites songs of all time.. It has amazing lyrics.. And I’m not even starting about the guitar pieces! One of the best bands that ever existed!”
13. She’s Only Evil (Up in the Attic, 2006)
“”She’s Only Evil” is probably the best of the album. A mainly acoustic, chilled out catchy little song that closes out the album beautifully.”
12. Our Time (Always and Forever, 2015)
“Dryden’s voice still sounds superb and the guitar and bass work is very inventive to complement Mike Cosgroves (superb drummer!) tight groove.”
11. Courage (Anthology, 2001)
“Their best song! Amazing guitar and vocals! Lyrics really speak to you! Beat song in my opinion! Very, very cool guitars. I get an otherworldly experience when I hear it.”
10. Sticks and Stones (Anthology, 2001)
“Sticks and Stones,” the playing shows quite a bit of talent, and in any song you can see that the vocalist is quite comfortable at any tempo or pitch. The bassist obviously demands a fair share of the fun because he is constantly featured as something else aside from a rhythm or time-keeper with fun, higher-end solos and riffs of his own”
9. Universe (Greatest Hits, 1999)
“This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t even put my finger on what makes it so good, it’s just pure eargasm. Absolutely fantastic and great vocals”
8. Stranded (Anthology, 2001)
” A song of being metaphorically lost. Clean-cut guitars and heartfelt vox. 9. Wish (10/10)- The best of the 13 songs. This is the ugly truth aspect of the CD that ensures these guys will be around for a while. Makes me think that mentors for the band, Papa Roach, could learn a thing or two from their pupils. Man can this singer scream and make it sound like music. Amazing.”
7. Let Em Know (Always and Forever, 2015)
“Dryden’s vocal style is, again, reminiscent of Chino’s from the Deftones. He’s got the same vocal inflections, stretches, and twisted use of English.”

6.Glow (truANT, 2003)
“It’s this song that makes me want to refrain from kicking myself for liking these guys at the wise age of 14. It’s a decent pop rock tune that I find myself singing in the shower fairly constantly.”
5. Wish (Anthology, 2001)
“This song needs more attention, it’s just as good (if not, better) than Smooth Criminal. Kind of a shame they’re only known for Smooth Criminal even though the rest of the album is still fantastic.”
4.These Days (Greatest Hits, 1999)
“THIS is their best song, why the heck is it down here!? “These days are great, and so are you. Would you like to work with me, I’d love to work you. ” Great lyrics, awesome bass, drumming and vocals. Amazing song, extremely underrated.”
3. Attitude (Anthology, 2001)
“Can’t stop listening to this. Could perfectly be an Incubus song which is awesome. Amazing song. Awesome lyrics, epic bass, and nice vocals.”
2. Movies (Greatest Hits, 1999)
“This is my favorite song on this album. I really liked listening to this back when it was new, and most of these tracks hold up today.”
1. Smooth Criminal (Smooth Criminal, 2001)
“I’m totally in love with this song. Usually when you cover the king of pops song, it doesn’t go well but this turned out better than the original. I dig the video, that kid in yellow can really dance and I want those steps that light up outside my house one day. But the best part was when he just put his finger on the mailbox and it lit up. Awesome way telling you you have mail. I dunno if its just me, (especially when he is wearing the blue) he looks like Sheldon Coopers evil brother laugh out loud
