Best Songs From Eminem's Recovery

Recovery had 17 brilliant singles. They all were a delight to listen to, but obviously all cannot be at par, and hence this list lists the best singles from his latest album. Recovery is eminems most honest attempt, and although it hasn't got much critical acclaim, but chuck the critics, it is us normal listeners that matter, and we loved it!
The Top Ten
1 Not Afraid

One of the best eminem songs I have ever heard, very positive and motivational, the lyrics make sense and make a clear and positive message

Great chorus, very nice bridge, amazing lyrics, powerful flow etc. makes this song a near-perfect single.

I love this song. The lyrics are outstanding, the video is awesome, the beat, hook, and main instrumental are so catchy.

Eminem IS LOVE!

2 No Love

This is easily the best song on the album. Lil Wayne actually does really well on this song, but then you hear Em and you think wow. This is the best verse I have ever heard Em spit and it is just incredible. Should be easily number 1.

simply the best the rappers stay on topic and the combination of a slow lov pitch voice rapper like little wayne and a fast high pitched voice of eminem

GOING THROUGH CHANGES IS THIRD

Eminem kills it while post rebirth lil wayne wants to show people why he says he's the greatest and steps his game up brilliantly. Wish weezy was still having good spots like this.

3 Space Bound

Please vote for this one guys! Put it on the first or the second. With the name it takes my breath away! You r a supernova and I m a space bound.
every time you look up in the sky and see a star.. Because m a space bound rocketship

A soft song about loving someone from Eminem, confused that's what I feel but the lyrics are as good as ever.

I'm a space bound rocket ship and your heart's the moon
And I'm aiming right at you

When I first heard it I laughed (especially at that Popsicle stick line) But then I listened to it again and again and it finally started to make sense to me

4 Cold Wind Blows

I can't tell you how amazing this song is. It has this awesome hype that was attempted on this all over, but failed. This is like a song on Eminem Show or MMLP. We recently had only Slim Shady or Marshall Mathers, but this shows Eminem is still there under his 2 other personalities.

How is "Love The Way You Lie" above "Cold Wind Blows"? Just because this wasn't on the radio doesn't mean this is bad. This is Eminem at his best with a great beat and a funny chorus. LTWYL doesn't deserve to be Top Ten let alone Top 5. This should be #1 though.

This song is a reincarnation of the old slim shady: the curses, the lyrics and the beat is like his music has been around 2000. Just awesome that's real gangsta-rap

5 Love the Way You Lie

Nothing can beat this song. With its great lyrics and great music makes you listen to this song again and again. Eminem forever! Rock and Roll to the World!

The lyrics, the intensities in both voices is so emotional, I don't think that's overrated, people hating it just because it's popular

People, please, this song isn't even that good. And is it just me or does this song seem like an extremely watered down version of kim?

6 Going Through Changes

I could feel his emotions better through this song than with Not Afraid... Other words: Not Afraid sucks deal with it

It's a better emotion and real song than Not Afraid talking about him almost dying and Proof being dead

One of his most heartfelt sings ever and probably the most heartfelt album he's ever done to

7 Cinderella Man

This is the most powerful song on the album. Way better than Love the way you lie and Not Afraid combined. This is easily on my Top 5 Eminem songs of all time.

Best song on the album by a long shot... The lyrics, the beat and of course, the man spitting the lyrics

Come on. This song is far better than not afraid. Should be 2nd or third after Space bound and So bad

8 25 to Life

Easily the worst on the album (tied with Going Through Changes). Beat wasn't great, lyrics were NOT Eminem quality and that chorus was the worst I've ever heard. Like how did Eminem allow that? I am a huge Eminem fan and I still don't like this. Best songs would be No Love, Cold Wind Blows, Almost Famous.

I know this song gets no love (pun not intended) but I think its severely underrated. Em takes to a different style for this track and does an incredible job of personifying hip hop. Should have been used to close out the album.

I suppose it takes someone who has been in a similar situation as Marshall describes in this song, to fully understand what he is saying. Love this song. It is by far one of my favourite

9 Almost Famous

I'm actually kind of mad this is #8. This has way more power than Not Afraid, this has more fantastic rapping then No Love (I love Eminem's verse but I thought there should have been more), this is way less cheesy then Space Bound, this is better then Love The Way You Lie in every way, this is a bit more lyrical then Cold Wind Blows (Cold Wind Blows is #2 on this list; it's awesome) WAY better chorus then Going Through Changes, and this has a better beat then Cinderella Man. So. Explain to me why this isn't #1? Oh yeah, that's right, it's not popular. Just because something's not popular doesn't mean it's bad. This is better then the top 7 and every song on here.

I was very surprised when I saw this list. The only reason why the top 4 are even in the top 4 is because they all have music videos so they are more known. But this has a way better beat and it is a way more powerful song. I absolutley love this song. Should be #1.

10 So Bad

The entirety of the song is just plain orgasmic, on of the best flows we've heard from him sense 2004, and the third verse in particular is what helps me climax...by the way this is just to put in perspective on how good I see this song

This song is great, best song on the album. Love how he still shows the Slim Shady side of him even when he's making an album about changing.

Best song on the album ; the only one where both flow and rhythm are comparable to his first albums with some additionnal maturity ; underrated song.

The Contenders
11 Talkin' 2 Myself

Deserves way more love.
It really shows Em reflecting on himself
And that its time to dust himself off and get back to being Em

another nice song that provides a great chorus by kobe and a great rap by eminem.

A song that best describes what he was going through, his pains, sufferings, and troubles.

12 You're Never Over

an ode to his deceased friend proof, this song is a brilliant song with striking beauty from all corners.
another strikingly great single, with a nice combination of great flow and nice lyrics.

A lot of people say Eminem is garbage now. He's still an amazing rapper, best in the game, but this song is great. A great song from a great album. Recovery isn't slim shady, it's Marshall mathers rapping about real things. About his life. RIP Deshaun Holton aka Proof

Lyrically the best song of the album. I love it so much, it was such a great tribute to Proof. And I'm pretty sure that if he could see Em now he'll be so proud that he got over his demons and he keeps making good music.

13 Seduction

The only song other than space bound on the album that I can consistently listen to, hell the song's lyrics are obviously straight forward, but other than that the flow is incredible, the rhythm is something like mockingbird. A true song to blast in your bedroom.

Wow, thought this would be in the top 3, brilliant song, has to be in his top 15

A nice song with a great fusion of all elements of rap.

14 On Fire

Surprised in all honesty this isn't ON this listing, it is quite easily one of the best on this album in terms of lyrical presence and chilled flow with the added over dose of not Eminem but Slim Shady.

"... Dissin' me is just like pissin' off the wizard of oz
Wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it
Grab the scissors and saws and
Cut out your livers gizzards and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with Jaws
So sip piss like sizurp through a straw
Then describe how it tasted like dessert to us all
Got the gall to make Chris piss in his draws
Tickle him, go to his grave, skip him and visit his dog"

Enough "quoted"...

This song shows Em's lyrical prowess with flawless rhyme schemes and great flows. This is easily the best song on the album even if it doesn't contain any further meaning. It's just 3 minutes of Eminem explaining why is a G.O.A.T.

15 Won't Back Down

What I can't believe this song is not in the top 10! This song is amazing! One of the most original songs of this album, for me, one of the best of this album. Reminds me to survival.

This is the best song not only on Recovery but one of the best Eminem songs of all time
I don't get how many people can hate this song
Eminem sounds extremely enthusiastic,cocky and just straight up raw rapping and Pink definitely made this song even better with her hook

Pink sings an amazing hook for this song
And the three verses of Eminem
An eye-opening mindblowing song!

16 W.T.P.

Em can't make amazing dance songs, but this one is pretty good. Of course it's not my favorite, but it should be ranked higher.

This song is amazing love the beat should be at least top 10

W.T.P stands for white trash party. This is racist

17 Untitled

It was a hidden track on the album however if you YouTube search it you should be able to find it relatively easy, In my honest opinion if you do a "top" song listing of an album you should have all the songs for voting. It is a really good song though, another OVERdose of Slim Shady is spread all across this entire track as well.

Dispite how simple the title and idea is, Em brings some bars that I think bring a unique flow and smoother lyrics then most of his hits

"I don't gas my Mercedes after midnight, I treat it like a Mogwai
'Cause it will turn into a Gremlin and run over kids, women and men
Vrinn-vrinn! Motor's so big you can fit a midget in his engine"- a little taste of the real Eminem

18 Ridaz

Pretty much another overdose of Slim Shady, ha. It was on the iTunes Store Deluxe Edition Bonus Tracks, and it was a relatively good track for the album of "Recovery" itself enough that it should be open to be voted on by visitors and members alike of this site as well. Thank you.

Best song I ever heard

19 Session One

Love this song best one on the album

20 Despicable

I thought this was a breed of cat? Huh?

This song isn't even on the album.

Good flo and changes the beat

21 Fly Away

Unbelievably good song lyrically & catchy hook, would of been 3rd best song on album, can't believe it didn't make it.
