20. Before I Die (The Connection, 2012)
“This is such an amazing song. The amount of energy and feeling it has; this list has to be updated. This song is just fascinating.”
19. Not that Beautiful (The Connection, 2012)
“Whoa, this song deserves to be way higher! The lyrics and the vocals on this track are just fabulous, not to forget the awesome rapping. Especially the delightful chorus which amazes me a lot, I wonder if it’s Auto-Tuned :/, but it isn’t. They’re awesome live and this song is one of their best.”
18. Reckless (The Paramour Sessions, 2006)
“First song I ever heard of theirs but now I’m obsessed with papa roach but, this song is by far one of the best. It rocks. So it is one of the awesomest songs.”

16. Still Swingin (The Connection, 2012)
“The Connection is the best album to date, and it’s opened with one of the sickest songs. It blends the awesome lyrics I love from Papa Roach with the “future sound” as they call it. They’re better than ever with this song and album.”
15. Face Everything and Rise (F.E.A.R., 2015)
“Very uplifting, heavy, has a catchy chorus, great song. Amazing song by Papa Roach always jump on my bed and pretend I’m Jerry Horton playing his guitar when I hear it.”
14. Gravity (F.E.A.R., 2015)
“The comment section of the music video sucks. It’s just people hating on this because of Maria or hating this because of Papa Roach or loving it only because of Maria. It has rapping for the old fans and hard rock for the new ones (just as someone else noted), and Maria is great. All I want is more positive comments in the music video. I hope the ones who see this will post them.”
13. Where Did the Angels Go? (The Connection, 2012)
“Easily their heaviest breakdown. Chorus is outrageously catchy. Overall, a memorable song. Definitely has a lasting quality and will most certainly be regarded as one of their best songs (if not their best)”
12. Kick in the Teeth (Time for Annihilation: On the Record & On the Road, 2010)
“Amazing song! Great lyrics and definitely Papa Roach’s best song ever! Last Resort is good but this one need to be bumped up!”
11. No Matter What (Time for Annihilation: On the Record & On the Road, 2010)
“If I ever get the chance, and my voice gets a little higher in pitch, No Matter What is the song I’m singing to a girl. But then again, I’m no ladies man, am I? This song is fantastic, though. If people don’t think Shaddix is a good singer, tell them to listen to this song.”
10. She Loves Me Not (Lovehatetragedy, 2002)
“This song and Last Resort are tied for first in my opinion but this song got me into Papa Roach. Actually, NHL 2003 on the gamecube introduced me to this song haha”
9. Lifeline (Metamorphosis, 2009)
“My absolute favorite P-Roach. Great guitar intro and Jacoby’s vocals really soar here. Also depressing lyrics that by the end of the song transform into positive ones.”
8. Burn (Time for Annihilation: On the Record & On the Road, 2010)
“This song definitely deserves to be in top 5. I agree that last resort is indeed their best song, but it deserves to at least be in top 5. This song just makes me wanna fight. MMA Style.”
7. Forever (The Paramour Sessions, 2006)
“Mello in all the places, and just hard enough without losing the original rhythm of the song to make you bob your head. best song since last resort.”

6. Hollywood Whore (Metamorphosis, 2009)
“Its an amazing song, they can honestly make a song about anything and it will always sound amazing, and the guitarist was awesome as well in this song!”
5. Between Angels and Insects (Infest, 2000)
“This song is unfortunately underrated against other songs on the infest album such as “last resort” and “broken home”
4. Getting Away with Murder (Getting Away with Murder, 2004)
“The chorus and bridge are the best part and the whispers really convey the desire for secrecy yet somehow the lyrics themselves are begging someone to find out because the narrator knows what he is doing is horrifying. This is the perfect song for Patrick Bateman from American Pyscho. The sentence structure conveys the track of thought falling apart for a psychotic person. The song is both intense and catchy. “
3. … to Be Loved (The Paramour Sessions, 2006)
“Whenever I listen to this song I just wanna go out there and take on the world… It just fills me with tons of energy… Last Resort doe not deserve the first spot… It has got such a depressing meaning… And to be love’s music is by far better than last resort… You gotta be kidding me if you don’t vote for to be loved!”
2. Scars (Getting Away with Murder, 2004)
“Very emotional song, the lyrics are really great and I think this is Papa Roach at their best. This song is a really good one, brings back memories for me, good and bad ones.”
1. Last Resort (Ready to Rumble, 2000)
“This is the first Papa Roach song I listened to. It turned me into a Papa Roach fan. The instrumentals are amazing as always, the vocals are just outstanding and it is sung with so much emotion you just fall in love with it.”
