20. A Small Victory (Angel Dust, 1992)
“Fantastic song from start to finish. It blew my mind on the first listen. Definitely their best, it’s so creative and catchy! This is an absolutely great and creative song!
19. Easy (Live – Hollywood Palladium NY 9th Nov 1990, 1990)
“I totally love this song. No matter how heart broken you are or just simply a happy ass. You just can’t hate this song. Anybody listening to this will sure get a feeling of joy deep inside its just such a pleasure to feel the simple meaning of this song, that is don’t worry be happy”
18. War Pigs (The Real Thing, 1989)
“You guys know what I’m talking about. Jim Martin’s heaviest riffs, Mike Patton screaming like a monster, ridiculous cathedral outro. With this song I discovered this band and I just love it! An anthem to good feelings.”
17. We Care a Lot (We Care a Lot, 1985)
“While Mike Patton is undoubtedly has one of the most versatile and crazy voices around and would bring Faith No More to commercial success and an overall more versatile and experimental sound, Introduce Yourself is my absolute favorite album from the band. While this isn’t the most popular opinion among FNM fans and the public, it is my personal favorite from them. While Patton’s era is amazing itself, Mosley’s album (Two if you count ‘We Care a Lot’) is my personal favorite with its fun and funky rap feel and Mosley’s monotone speaking/rapping voice completes it for me. This album can come off with a cheesy 80’s feel at times, but it is perfect for me.”

16. Land of Sunshine (Angel Dust, 1992)
“This is the most energetic performance from Faith No More I’ve heard so far. Underrated song and also deserving in the top 5 “
15. Evidence (King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime, 1995)
“It’s so relaxing and makes me feel good every time I hear it, jazz and funk never sounded so good together. I just love the jazzy down-tempo lounge feeling this song has. Mike’s voice sounds so sweet as well.”
14. Be Aggressive (Angel Dust, 1992)
“I love FNM and Mike Patton in general and my collection of cds and other items like, autographs and things rivals the best in the world by this point in my opinion….”
13. Ricochet (King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime, 1995)
“It’s always funny until someone gets hurt and then it’s just hilarious.” Love that line. Reminds me of the real difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them – if they didn’t get hurt, you’re laughing with them. If they did get hurt, then you’re laughing at them. And then my brother has this friend who lost an arm a few years back, and he’s been known to break out the line, “oh sure, it’s all fun and games until someone loses an arm…”.”
12. Edge of the World (The Real Thing, 1989)
“The lyrically creepy-yet-cool “Edge of the World” was initially limited to inclusion on the cassette release of The Real Thing. Mike Patton’s vocal performance steals the spotlight throughout the hey-little-girl-would-you-like-some-candy? cut, that is accented with Ruddy Bottoms piano work.”
11. Crack Hitler (Angel Dust, 1992)
“The guitar lines stand out first, the metal inspired drums are great, bass is very clear. The keyboards are lovely, I can’t get enough. That’s what I’ll always remember about this, was the keyboards and guitars.”
10. Falling to Pieces (The Real Thing, 1989)
“This song is so good. Haven’t listened to too much FNM songs, maybe 4 or 5, I’ve listened to and this is my favourite by them so far. One of my favorite tracks. Love the opening baseline”
9. Digging the Grave (King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime, 1995)
“Worth it for the Bee Gee’s cover of I started a joke. I think it actually got repackage on the album due to its cult popularity.”
8. Smaller and Smaller (Angel Dust, 1992)
“An epic metal masterpiece. And it only gets better from the start. Completely underrated and possibly the best symphonic metal song ever. The scream on the third “BITE” is one of the rawest and pained things I’ve ever heard in a song.”
7. From Out of Nowhere (The Real Thing, 1989)
“Epic used to be my favourite, but when I heard this, I instantly fell in love with it, it’s so good! Defiantly one of FNM’s best song, and my personal favourite.”

6. Ashes to Ashes (Album of the Year, 1997)
“The band knew the end was in sight for them (at the time anyway) and went out on the first bang with this track. The lyrics and Mike Patton’s vocal delivery make me tear up every time. Beautiful, powerful song.”
5. Everything’s Ruined (Angel Dust, 1992)
“Complex,intricate melodies and unique arrangements featured on this song are found on the whole angel dust album, plus the Dynamics here are something else”
4. The Real Thing (The Real Thing, 1989)
“They opened with “The Real Thing” when I saw them a few weeks ago, and I nearly burst out of my skin! So hard to pick a favorite song, but this one might be the best–perhaps even better than “Midlife Crisis”.
3. Zombie Eaters (The Real Thing, 1989)
“I love how it starts really calm and then it gets loud. Both parts are equally great though. Brilliant song. I love the songs on this album after the more well known ones.”
2. Midlife Crisis (Angel Dust, 1992)
“It’s so good and kinda gives off the whole midlife crisis vibe(I might be wrong, I’m still a teen so I’ve never experienced one yet) so it sure lives up to the name. Best lyrics for the chorus, love it when they play it live and get the crowd to sing a long.”
1. Epic (The Real Thing, 1990)
“This is by far the BEST Faith No More song, it really should be number one. If you get the chance watch the music video, and buy the album cause its completely awesome. ONE OF A KIND SONG!”
