Top 10 Best Dokken Songs

Great band, great songs, and excellent musicians too led by the awesome George Lynch on Guitar!
Jeff Pilson and Wild Mick Brown were a great rhythm section also.

The Top Ten

1 Kiss of Death - Back for the Attack

Kiss of Death is a very good song, probably their most metal song as well. I wish this band wasn't so unknown though; they really are pretty good and worth listening to. I think you'll find that at least some of their songs are worth listening to again. - Element119

Killer Guitar Part, amazing vocals. Gets the blood flowing!

How is this #1 and Prisoner nit even on the list? Hello... McFly?

2 In My Dreams - Under Lock and Key

Starts off with a instant classic harmony chorus and then it breaks into the great George Lynch's crunching guitar.

Definitely one of their greatest hits. This song is addicting. You listen to it once and you can't stop.

Great guitar riff and solo!

Great vocals and one of it not THE best Lynch solo...

3 Breaking the Chains - Breaking the Chains

Probably their best song and definitely their most popular. I'm surprised that breaking the chains is at number four

By FAR the best track of Dokken! :D

I agree this is their best song out of all their great songs.

Sweet

4 Tooth and Nail - Tooth and Nail

Its just so heavy and agressive! Awakens the destroyer in yourself. Awesome song!

Fast and has an accelerating feel to it. - Element119

5 Unchain the Night - Under Lock and Key

I absolutely love this song. One of my very favorite songs from one of my very favorite bands.

That extended intro is fantastic. If there is one thing Dokken do well, it's opening an album.

Hard rocking song that really shows off George Lynch's talent on guitar.

Super song, I love it, super guitar solos, and the voice is excellent.

6 Dream Warriors - Back for the Attack

I love dokken so much when I heard this song I fell in love with this song its very catchy and I love the music video and I fell in love with the band to so go dokken - rocknrollhorselover

Well I really love Its Not Love and In My Dreams but Dream Warriors is one of the best songs ever

I know Dokken pretty well and I'd have to say this is there best.

Great tune and chord progression, atmosphere...love it from first listening

8 Into the Fire - Tooth and Nail

Reminds me of my mistress

Best song for this group

Into the Fire, I'm falling!
Really great song!

9 Lightnin' Strikes Again - Under Lock and Key

Most of this song is good. The only issue I have with it is that the ending gets a little boring. - Element119

Best dokken song ever. The riff kicks ass

Don wishes he could still scream like this.

One of George Lynch's guitar riffs EVER!

10 Alone Again - Tooth and Nail

One of the best classic metal ballads wrote. I still remember singing the lyrics to my ex-girlfriend 2 years ago.

I've heard all of the songs above, this song is better than 90 percent of them.

You can feel the pain in this song

Alone again is one of the very best power ballads songs ever made. It is not normal that it is ranked at 16. It is easily one of the very best of dokken.if not the best.

The Contenders

11 The Hunter - Under Lock and Key

This song is so underrated! Great riff, great solo; this song shows exactly what Dokken is all about!

Should be top 5.

12 It's Not Love - Under Lock and Key

Great song, great vocals, very catchy, and memorable hook.

Great rhythm guitar in this one - Shake_n_Bake13

13 When Heaven Comes Down - Tooth and Nail

This is one of those songs that is good on record, but 10 times better live!

14 Burning Like a Flame - Back for the Attack

A smokin rocker. Excellent vocals, great guitar by Lynch as always!

15 Just Got Lucky - Tooth and Nail

Excellent hook to this song, one of their best!

Great song

16 Heaven Sent - Back for the Attack

I honestly think this song holds George Lynch's best solo and I also feel its one of the best solos in metal!

Classic guitar intro, strong vocals, just a killer tune!

Hands down number 1

SHOULD BE #1

17 Don't Close Your Eyes - Tooth and Nail

Adding this because it is a very good song, this is probably the Dokken song I most often listen to. - Element119

18 Paris is Burning - Breaking the Chains
19 Til the Livin' End - Under Lock and Key

I've always liked Til' the Livin' End. It reminds me of Tooth and Nail a lot, but I honestly find this song slightly better. - Element119

20 Turn on the Action - Tooth and Nail
21 Lost Behind the Wall - Back for the Attack

Very underrated song. Criminally low at 26

This whole album was underrated

They came BACK FOR THE ATTACK ALRIGHT!
BEAUTIFUL ALBUM!
Dons voice and Georges guitar! damn forget about it!

22 Slippin' Away - Under Lock and Key
23 Empire - Broken Bones
24 Night by Night - Back for the Attack

Still sounds awesome nearly 30 yrs later

25 Cry of the Gypsy - Back for the Attack

Probably the best mix of everything that dokken was good at. Back for the attack was their peak.

26 Will the Sun Rise - Under Lock and Key

Truly melodic song, includes acoustic and electric guitar tone, light speeding solo amazing vocal harmony, this track off of under lock and key is definitely one for the books

Criminal that it's not ranked way higher, top 5 at least

27 Too High to Fly - Dysfuncional

How is this song not on the list? Kiss of Death number one?!?!?! I always skip that track.

28 Prisoner - Back for the Attack

Another catchy song with a great hook. Tight musicianship and it rocks!

Such an overlooked classic, buy such an underrated band

I agree with the comment about this being a very catchy song. The chorus will get stuck in your head quite easily:
"Baby, I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see I can never be free
I'm a prisoner chained by love"
The lyrics aren't that impressive, but the music is pretty good. - Element119

29 Maddest Hatter - Erase the Slate
30 Standing On the Outside - Lightning Strikes Again

I feel you inside while I'm standing on the outside!

31 Only Heaven Knows - Long Way Home
32 Sunset Superstar - Lightning Strikes Again
33 Seven Thunders - Breaking the Chains
34 The Maze - Dysfunctional
35 Erase the Slate - Erase the Slate
36 From the Beginning - Dysfunctional

Better than the original
