20. Hell (Ten Thousand Fists, 2005)

“This song is one of their best. I find myself listening to it more often than most others. It’s has an energetic rhythm coupled with very dark, yet melodic vocals to make one of the best composed Disturbed tracks to date.”

19. Decadence (Ten Thousand Fists, 2005)

“First time that I heard this song was in Need For Speed: Most Wanted. It’s an awesome song. It was also the first song that I heard from them.”

18. The Infection (Asylum, 2010)

“I think it’s not fair that most of the time the oldest songs get the most credit, just because some people didn’t hear the newer albums so far. Infection is one of the best songs in heavy metal ever made.”

17. The Animal (Asylum, 2010)

“Great lyrics and very powerful singing make this song great for letting out all your anger. Makes me feel like no one can mess with me. It has my favorite Disturbed solo too. The steady stream of fast notes with an eerie atmosphere really does well in this song. It may not be phrased very well (or at all) and it isn’t the longest but it keeps the fast pace of the song and delivers a really nice melody. I love how the rhythm guitar mixes with the lead at times during the solo, creating a nice harmony and chorus effect. Also, love how the drums mesh with the guitar riffs to them even heavier.”

16. The Vengeful One (Immortalized, 2015)

“This one is simply amazing. It was perfect for a hiatus ending single. This song is powerful and showing us how the world controls us. I listen to this practically endlessly.”

15. Voices (The Sickness, 2000)

“Simply amazing and one of the best Disturbed songs ever created! I just can’t get tired of listening to this one and honestly. Even though the lyrics don’t make much sense, but it’s a great song.”

14. Haunted (Indestructible, 2008)

“The lyrics in this song alone surpass any of their previous work, and probably any thereafter. Only “The Night” can surpass this song in regards to the song’s personality. Easily one of, if not their best song.”

13. Another Way to Die (Another Way to Die, 2010)

“This song is pretty kickass. I like it that it has like a dark, scary, doom metal like intro and then it turns into your average awesome song by Disturbed. Not their best song in my opinion, but definitely one of my favorites.”

12. The Game (The Sickness, 2000)

“Amazing fast lyrics and a really good song in general, definitely a song that should be listened to if you like fast heavy rhythmic music. Personally my favorite disturbed song.”

11. The Sound of Silence (Immortalized, 2015)

“The range of his voice, as well as the dynamics, are wonderful! It is powerful, so powerful. This is the only song I have heard by this group and I will be looking for more. I also love the “velvet” sound of his voice, which he can turn on and off at will; to then listen to his raspy voice hit all of the high notes with such power. It’s beautiful!”

10. Land of Confusion (Ten Thousand Fists, 2005)

“This song definitely belongs in the top five immediately. Down with the sickness isn’t even that good in my opinion, I got to stop my workouts when ever he starts bitching about his mom in the middle of the song like what is that? “Let us feel these men of power are losing control by the hour! ” ya! Now that’s the kind of music I want to hear! Swap this out with “down with the sickness” and we’ll have our selves a list!”

9. Asylum (Asylum, 2010)

“I enjoyed this song very much. Though there are other trademark songs, I keep listening to this song again and again. The music is terrific. The lyrics seem hellish but I just like to listen to this while blasting my earphones away.”

8. Prayer (Believe, 2002)

“Prayer is my favorite disturbed song, I mean I like all disturbed songs but this song defined Disturbed, and was the first song I ever learned completely on guitar, it’s perfect and downright heavy and kick ass, definitely would choose this over asylum any day.”

7. Ten Thousand Fists (Ten Thousand Fists, 2005)

“This song is badass. everyone knows why the album was made after this song. Disturbed has a big way of telling stories in their songs, but Ten Thousand Fists is the most imaginative. “People can no longer cover their eyes, if this disturbs you, then walk away. You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of… TEN THOUSAND FISTS IN THE AIR! “”

6. Stupify (The Sickness, 2000)

“This is my favorite song by disturbed. I can listen to it over and over. Its true disturbed and the first song I would recommend to a first time disturbed listener. Keep voting it this should be number one if you’ve never heard it give it a listen you wont be let down”

5. The Night (Indestructible, 2008)

“I love disturbed mainly do to the guitarist Dan Donegan, he inspired me to pick up the guitar and play his songs, even Dan Donegan himself says that this is one of his favorites to play on the guitar, the solo is bad ass, the chorus is bad ass, even the music video is bad ass, it’s dark and overall probably one of Disturbed’s most heaviest songs, and was the song that started my addiction with disturbed.”

4. Inside the Fire (Indestructible, 2008)

“My favorites are usually songs that I can pull off vocally, that way I get familiar with what it takes to sing, eg. Where to take a breath, when to go in hard. I rock to Disturbed and my band covers Inside the Fire. Love to be able to do others, working on it”

3. Indestructible (Indestructible, 2008)

“You feel like you are filled with pure raw power when you list to this song, especially if you are listening to it with headphones on and doing something challenging, like doing an obstacle course, or playing games online. A definite A on my list. I mean, songs of Disturbed are gold labeled, but this takes the cake for me nowadays. Disturbed changes with the times, so this is why I am Disturbed.”

2. Stricken (Ten Thousand Fists, 2005)

“This is my favorite song of this band. Down with the sickness would be my favorite, if not for that weird abuse part. Those are Disturbed two best songs. However, with Down With The Sickness, the abuse part really kind of ruins what the song was building up.”

1. Down with the Sickness (The Sickness, 2000)

“This is the song that showcased who Disturbed was. That they were a force to be reckoned with, and that they would dominate the planet as one of the greatest metal bands of the generation. This song helped push The Sickness over the age and helped Disturbed reach huge levels with only their debut. This song is the pure essence of Disturbed, and is without a doubt their best song.”
