UFO Songs Ranked
UFO is an English rock band that was formed in London in 1968. They became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal and the new wave of British heavy metal. The band’s current lineup includes vocalist Phil Mogg, lead guitarist Vinnie Moore, rhythm guitarist and keyboardist Neil Carter, bass guitarist Rob De Luca, and drummer Andy Parker. They have gone through several line-up changes, leaving Mogg as the only constant member, and had two hiatuses (1983–1984 and again from 1989 to 1991). The band is also notable for featuring former Scorpions guitarist and MSG founder Michael Schenker, who was a member of UFO from 1973 to 1978 and again, occasionally, between 1993 and 2003, when Moore replaced him. In May 2018, Mogg announced that he will retire from UFO after one last tour as a member of the band in 2019. UFO is considered one of the greatest classic hard rock acts, and often cited as one of the key influences on the 1980s and 1990s hard rock and heavy metal scenes. The band was ranked number 84 on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” Here are all of UFO songs ranked.

20. Hot ‘N’ Ready (Obsession, 1978)
“This song is so good it sends chills down my spine whenever I listen to it. Not to mention the abrupt beats and instrumentals. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to drop everything and just concentrate only on it until it gets over.”
19. Give Her the Gun (Phenomenon, 1974)
“This song has a very nice beat, along with creatively impressive words. This was my first song I listened to by them and I love it so much.”
18. Long Gone (The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent, 1981)
“Although the Schenker era gets all the plaudits, the quality of songwriting on WWATI is as good as anything UFO came up with before, there isn’t a dud song on the album but got me this is a standout, moody lyrics and a lilting guitar motif before the band kicks in hard. The orchestra only adds to the weight of this classic.”
17. Born to Lose (Obsession, 1978)
“I love this whole list argh! But this has got to be my absolute favourite. It’s so relatable, and it makes me feel a way that I cannot explain. The lyrics feel like they really apply to me, as I cannot live without music for one day and the music is amazing.”

16. Out In the Street (Force It, 1975)
“I like many of their songs, but this is one that I can always go back to and find something beautiful. There is a sincerity in it that can be hard to find in music nowadays.”
15. I’m a Loser (No Heavy Petting, 1976)
“So many great songs by UFO but I picked this because of the crescendo of the tune. UFOs songs in general specialized in the buildup of their songs. The vocals were great and clear and not drowned out by the other instruments. The guitar work especially by Michael Schenker was my all time favorite in all of rock.The drums and base were hard driving and pushed the songs forward. I believe they are the most underrated rock band. Bands like deep purple at least have my woman from tokyo still being played and blue oyster cult has Godzilla,don’t fear the reaper and burnin’ for you. Thin lizzy has a couple of songs still being played as do most of the others on the top ten list. UFO maybe has rock bottom and even that is becoming a rarity. Those of us who know better still rock out with UFO.”
14. Shoot Shoot (Force It, 1975)
“Not only is the tune catchy, but the lyrics have such symbolic roots. Once you really take it in, it’s a wonderful story about life, death, silence, thoughts, etc.”
