Powerman 5000 Songs Ranked
Powerman 5000 (also known as PM5K) is an American rock band formed in 1991. The group has released ten albums, gaining its highest level of commercial success with 1999’s Tonight the Stars Revolt!, which reached number 29 on the Billboard 200 while spawning the singles “When Worlds Collide” and “Nobody’s Real”. Frontman Spider One, younger brother of fellow metal musician Rob Zombie, has been the only consistent member of the lineup since the band’s formation. Powerman 5000’s music is driven by staccato guitar playing and electronic samples, which has been compared to the music of Rob Zombie, Spider One’s older brother. This style has primarily been described as industrial metal. The band’s early album Mega!! Kung Fu Radio featured a different style from the one which the band is generally known for; this album incorporated elements of heavy metal, hip hop, hard rock and funk. Transform featured more emphasis on melody and human-driven sounds, shifting away from the computerized sounds of the band’s earlier albums. Destroy What You Enjoy featured a punk-driven sound. Here are all of Powerman 5000 songs ranked.

10. Supernova Goes Pop (Tonight the Stars Revolt!, 1999)
“Wow…. this is another fabulous band I have descoverd …. this guy’s voice is just a amazing addition to a freaking awesome BAND….they honestly just kicked it right into my head and I will definitely be following up with these guys..”
9. Super Villain (Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere, 2009)
“This, to me, sounds like a welcome return to form, or at least to industrial rock/metal alá Tonight the Stars Revolt! and Anyone for Doomsday?, and if this is indicative of the new album, it will be the first PM5K album I’ll actually be interested in since the forementioned two. I mean, it’s nowhere near original, but what’s wrong with catchy, fun music anyway?”
8. Automatic (Tonight the Stars Revolt!, 1999)
“Good lyrics and very good guitar riffs make this one of best songs on the album. Another unbelievable song. This should be the band’s third single. The beginning and chorus are incredibly played. Like Nobody’s Real, this song stands out in the album, being of an individual sound. Kicks you in the teeth. Possibly the heaviest and best song on the CD!”

7. Nobody’s Real (End of Days, 1999)
“I heard Powerman referred to recently as “an obscure metal group from the late 90’s” and wished more people had heard their music. Most people I hear refer to them seem to do it as a joke and I die a little inside every time.”
6. I Want to Kill You (Builders of the Future, 2014)
“I Want To Kill You was certainly the most notably different. Slower and acoustic, more melodic than any other on the track list, the instrumentation really shines through here.”
5. Danger Is Go (Anyone for Doomsday?, 2001)
“This is one of the best tracks on the entire album of anyone for doomsday? and is one of my favorite pm5k songs over all. some of the other great tracks on this album were bombshell, megatronic, and the future that never was. some songs that were good were tomorow is yesterday, the one and only, and wake up.”

4. Megatronic (Anyone for Doomsday?, 2001)
” Megatronic is perhaps the most memorable on the CD, sounding a little like Powerman’s older works yet brandishing a unique feel that is continued on neither this album nor the next.”
3. Free (Transform, 2003)
“This is the best song this band has ever done. This song hits hard when you realize what he’s saying. Loved this song as a kid but the impact of the lyrics never hit me until I was a little older and I realized that the world is far from a perfect place.”
2. Bombshell (Anyone for Doomsday?, 2001)
“Of course I’ve known about some of the songs on this album already like “Bombshell” which is one of the best songs on this release and has been used for years now in movies and wrestling matches etcetera.”
1. When Worlds Collide (Tonight the Stars Revolt!, 1999)
“This is my favorite song on the CD. It is slow at parts and heavy at parts, but though the entire song, the drums and guitar are awesome. The group’s first single. A fast-paced, heavy song that has nice riffs. However, the chorus doesn’t really use the best lyrics. The song’s also a little short.
