20. Your Man (Smash Mouth 2001)

“Your Man” is an introspective rocker that has nice lyrics and some catchy melodies.  The instrumentals (even if the writing isn’t the best) are fun to listen to. Check it out if you’re curious.”

19. Hang On (Get the Picture?, 2003)

“This is really the best song Smashmouth sings. It’s listened to a thousand times. Totally the best one ever. I remember hearing this in the credits of the cat in the hat”

18. Diggin’ Your Scene (Astro Lounge, 1999)

“Diggin’ Your Scene” evokes the late sixties with a beat that one can imagine woman in vinyl mini-skirt dancing to while their stoned guys stand mesmerized by the colored lights. The lyrics poke fun at the sixties lingo while describing a guy’s obsession with a dangerous woman.”

17. Waste (Astro Lounge, 1999)

“I think it was just released as a promo, but it was worthy of full singlehood. Best song i’ve ever heard from them. The most Radiohead-esque Smash Mouth song in existence.”

16. Beer Goggles (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

“While nothing amazing, this album is a far cry from their later efforts (aka horrible). This being a tolerable mix of straight pop rock and ska punk, its fun enough for spins every now and then but at the same time you can easily live without it. Only get for the nostalgia.”

15. Everyday Superhero (Summer Girl, 2006)

“Like fine wine, Smash Mouth is getting even better as they age! In my opinion, they’re on top of their game now: their music has more polish, their talent as musicians has only improved, and their lyrics are as wickedly clever as ever! The fact that songs like “Everyday Superhero” and “So Insane” haven’t topped the charts just proves how brain-dead the music industry is. It’s got to be frustrating as heck for these guys to not have their talent recognized and rewarded the way that it should be.”

14. I Just Wanna See (Astro Lounge, 1999)

“I Just Wanna See” has the same kind of fun sound with hippy philosophy: “Doctors and lawyers race for the ball/And I don’t even wanna understand it all/I just wanna see.”

13. Flo (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

“This is a great album opener and is a good fast song. It is a cool song, about a lesbian. Smash Mouth’s Fush Yu Mang is a great album. It is a great sounding punk and ska sounding type album, with a few other styles thrown in.”

12. Holiday in My Head (Smash Mouth, 2001)

“This CD begins with the fun song “Holiday in My Head.” The beat is catchy and the lyrics are enjoyable and light. The opening song has fun written all over it.”

11. Nervous in the Alley (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

” Another favorite that got some radio play in their hometown of San Jose, California before Walkin’ On The Sun got really big. Awesome song, another one of my favorites.”

10. So Insane (Summer Girl, 2006)

“The first time I listened to this song I thought… Smash Mouth is back! This song has amazing lyrics and an awesome riff! This song is by far the best for me!”

9. Can’t Get Enough of You Baby (Can’t Hardly Wait, 1998)

“Smash Mouth does a fair cover of Can’t Get Enough of You Baby by Question Mark and The Mysterians, close enough to the original with just enough punk attitude to make it their own.”

8. Then the Morning Comes (Astro Lounge, 1999)

“Smash Mouth is either genius or parody cliche – I’m not sure which. Either way, I find them enjoyable for the span of a song or two but tedious when going any further. With the exception of the “Waste” outlier, pretty much any song is as good as any other, but I’d still put “Then the Morning Comes” towards the top of the list – a good token of what the band’s all about, over and be done with.”

7. Pacific Coast Party (Smash Mouth, 2001)

“Pacific Coast Party” is this album’s anthem, heavy on whistling strings and a woozy synth. Few songs evoke the breezy California lifestyle like this one, a classic party song.”

6. Let’s Rock (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

“First Song on the CD that swears (I think), but who cares? Nice song Overall, almost metal in a sense… A cool song, forget all your cares.”

5. Come On Come On (Astro Lounge, 1999)

“Come On Come On” is my absolute favorite here, an extremely catchy, organ-heavy pop anthem.  The party gets kicked up a notch with “Come On Come On,” which moves at the speed of sound to the next track.”

4. Why Can’t We Be Friends (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

“This is a hit cover song of the War classic. Despite it being a hit, it is very repetitive and goes on way too long repeat Why Can’t We Be Friends? for almost the last two minutes of this song.”

3. I’m a Believer (Smash Mouth, 2001)

“AMAZING SONG! You feel like dancing and singing without stop. I really love it and I think it’s definitely the best smash mouth song. The lyrics as much as the sound is just perfect! I send my best to this wonderful group”

2. Walkin’ on the Sun (Fush Yu Mang, 1997)

“Great song! Easily their best. This is a wonderful cruising/dancing song, with The Doors like overtones on the keyboards. Very cool. Great lyrics that has a funky jazz feel to it.”

1. All Star (Rat Race, 2001)

” So great and very very inspiring. Listening to it motivates you and starts your day.. Just awesome. Great music with great vocals and great lyrics as well. The lyrics have a hidden meaning to them.”
