Top Ten Best Mastodon Songs

This is a song that you give to anyone who asks you for an introduction to good music! Mastodon have not released a single bad album and picking this over songs like Crack the Skye and Capillarian Crest or Ancient Kingdom or Megalodon is a choice I made purely cause the opening riff is one of the most striking and powerful arpeggios you would ever hear! A 11/10 for the bands discography as a whole

This song really takes me to this other place... Amazing vibe to it. Just great! And the lyrics! I'm at a certain point in my life where I can relate to them every bit, and this song helps me cope with my reality. Mastodon you make my life worth living!

Best vocal performance in any Mastadon song coupled with the usual standard of ridiculous musicianship found in most other Mastadon tracks. Awesome, heavy, blistering and to top it all of has a chorus which is catchy as hell. Utter brilliance from start to finish.

This song is just more than amazing, the vocals alone wants to make me go crazy. Best vocals performance ever! The music in general is great too, a sinister feeling in the intro and then it gets real heavy and emotional.. just too good m/

One of the songs which got me into Metal in the first place! First heard on Need for Speed, this is my all time favorite of theirs!

Hard selecting the order of all other songs except this one, which is without doubt number one.

All great songs but blood and thunder classically takes the cake

One of their best... it deserves the first place without any doubt

Oblivion is terribly overrated...this is the song that needs to be at the top of the list not the bland Blood and Thunder which shouldn't be anywhere near the top ten region...My Top 3 would be: 1) The Czar 2) March of the Fire Ants 3) Crack the Skye.

This is the song that really got me into the band. It's legitimate heavy metal, but it's not obnoxiously loud or fast, and it sets their music apart from mainstream metal.

Incredible song and the loved the vocals and especially the solo work as well as the drumming which obviously doesn't need a mention...Brann Dalor is a beast of a drummer.. just listen to Capillarian Crest.

Mastodon's guitar work at its best! Doesn't get much better then this! Probably Brent Hinds' best solo.

The thing that makes Crack The Skye so beautiful is how each song is a more and more intense experience as it goes, concluding with this masterpiece.

Took me a while to get my head around this son, but now I know, I'll probably never hear a better song in my life!

Crack The Skye may not be my favorite Mastodon album, but The Last Baron is by far their best track!

Metal in its purest form! Vocals riffs drum and everything that makes metal what it is and more.

God damn, 10th? This is EASILY the most emotional song out of Mastodon's discography, Scott Kelly's vocals are simply amazing, and it is just plain beautiful.

Most intensely emotional song I've heard by them yet. Scott Kelly's vox are so good!

The song defines prog metal to me and it may fall second to Blood and Thunder but it deserves to be in the top 5

Remission is an underrated album. But that's not to say Leviathan and onward doesn't deserve the respect it has. Remission has some kick ass tracks, and this has to be one of the best. Love Mastodon.

Great riff and solo. This is one of very few songs in the WORLD that I just can't get enough of. This is an absolutely skull-crushing song.

Lol Last Baron above this master piece, sure, where are the real Mastodon fans?

Come on, this has to be top ten! The solo!

The surf guitar parts, banjo picking, a guitar solo, just mastodon doing what they do best. Just an awesome song!

Ripping track! Monster riff near the end makes me smile

Incredible, should be first place

The intro... All I have to say is YES

This forest is growing faster than I can tell. As much as I love Leviathan, Blood Mountain is still my favorite Mastodon album. 'tis excellent.

One of the best songs I've heard them produce. The way the smokey vocals match the hypnotic riffs is a wonder.

It sounds beautiful and threatening at the same time.

In your face and eloquent at the same time.

One of the best songs and lyrics of this band

Has one of the best bridges to a song ever.

When you eat ass and want to be Metal.

It's already here.

This. Song. If someone asks me, "What is Prog-Metal? " I play them this song. Everything from acoustic beauty, to metal chords and gong strokes in the intro, this song is brutal and perfect.

It's just beautiful and awe inspiring. The general feeling the song possesses just captivates anyone who listens.

The song has the most incredible atmosphere I have ever heard. It embraces me with such madness

It haunting chords take me to a different dreamlike place my imagination cannot handle.

A true mastodon fan would put this song in their top ten. "Five or higher"

Can't believe it's this low on this list.

This song is awesome

The best "headbanging" song of them.

It was the first Mastodon song I had seen and my brother introduced it to me. At the first place, the video scared me a bit, but now, I love it! Mastodon is one of the most important heavy metal bands!

This song got me into Mastodon, it's the first one I ever heard and it is absolutely amazing

The Hunter may not be the most exciting Mastodon album but this is one hell of a track.

If you grew up in the Mojave Desert you would vote for this. Fits the reality of the deep desert perfectly.

The drumming, the guitars, the lyrics, EVERYTHING on this track is just perfect in the most godly ways, possibly the most intense album opening song in the history of music? I think so. Possibly the best song from their hands down best album

I think that this is just a great wrap up of all their styles. Really great work and VERY inspirational riff.

All I can say is wow to this tune. Immense. Best album opener ever? Awesome drums and guitar work.

"As the soldier walks through the crimson tide..." Best song, off easily their best album

This song is about the mixing a from cuting a especial part of a tree which worth a lot of money with the consuming oh meth with the money from the curl of the burl. It's a dificult song to understand but it is awesome

Send this song to someone who hasn't heard the band before to give them what really sums up Mastodon. Heavy, jeering and crazy song.

Great song from the Hunter! Their new album is awesome, os is this song!

It's The Cuirl Of the Burl It's the way of the World!

I burned out my eyes, I cut out my tongue should be in the top ten better than curl of the burl

It's tough choosing the best Mastodon song, but my vote goes to this song.

Awesome song, should be in the top 5!

Sick song! I love it!

Voting for this because it's pretty underrated. The Hunter gets overlooked all the time because it's too catchy and fun for Mastodon. What's wrong with fun in metal?

This song gets very intense, very quickly. And that's why I love it

This song makes me feel like I'm in a cloud... I absolutely love it

Absolutely beautiful song. These guys are geniuses

Worlds best music is this...

Iron tusk was definitely better then then this the first time through, but the reduced repetition of the same main riff helped make this one more enjoyable the 50th time through. But it definitely has weird parts so it makes sense why it's not top ten.

This song perfectly displays Mastodon's abilities. Beautiful, thick guitar riff, amazing drums, and some of the most intense yet wonderful vocals Mastodon ever produced.

Sludgy and intense. Song that got me into the band thanks to Tony Hawk's American Wasteland on the original Xbox.

What a stand out killer track from mastodon superb display of drums with terrific vocals.

This song's so good, especially near the end.

My favourite track of OMRTS, has a really distinct opening riff and great soloing section at the end!

Really love the moody chorus by Brann here! And those riffs are killer!

Halloween has such a great upbeat feel. Perfect song for working out.
