Best Mike Shinoda Songs

The best songs of Mike Shinoda :) that he is the lead singer in.

The Top Ten

1 In the End

This is song is one of the best songs in the universe your my hero mike your the one that inspired me to become a rapper thanks man you are an awesome dude

Evergreen & cool song indeed. The best rapping part along with the chester's vocal made it sounds more awesome. The song through which Mike has been known to the whole world. I think this song should be placed just after the 'remember the name' & 'where had you go'. Mike rocks forever... God Bless Him Always.

One of best songs ever. This song should definitely be placed way higher than 13. Come on guys, VOTE FOR THIS! This song might be my favorite mike shinoda song next to remember the name. - jota6

Mike Shinoda said this about the song:

I remember putting this together in our rehearsal studio on Hollywood and Vine, working overnight in a room with no windows. I had no idea what time of day it was; I just slept when I was tired, and worked on this song until it took shape. The first guy to hear it was Rob, who told me (I’m paraphrasing) that this was ‘exactly the kind of song he wanted us to write.

In my opinion, this song is a top five song by the band, and this was almost nothing but Mike through the whole song until the end. - YoshiDragon240

6 Iridescent

This song is from their new album "A Thousand Suns". Though many people don not like this album, this song, sung by Mike Shinoda, is really touching and inspirational - divyanshgupta95

7 Over Again

Very too much best song it. New greatest hit song it. And nice rap rock song It. This amazing and more better than in the end.

Best song it all time. The Lyrics are awesome. Very too much Greatest song it. It has great Lyrics. Better than linkin park all song.

Best and good

This is best

8 Faint

Laugh out loud it is very funny to see faint on 12th
Lightning fast rap and he is the best rapper ever
Faint, papercut, somewhere I belong are really so underrated - abhishekrajashekar

This song has a very relatable and aggressive rap, hard to think it'd be down here.

9 Can’t Hear You Now

amazing

10 Somewhere I Belong

Overall, Mike Shinoda has an incredible flow. He is original and spiritual and is screaming out about his life, like in "Over Again" he mentions the pressure he encountered after Chester died. In this song, him and Chester sing about their own personal zones that they know aren't real but that's who they are. It's somewhere they belong. As a matter of fact, I can relate to plenty of Linkin Park songs like this one absolutely, and "Numb", "In The End", "What I've Done", even "Heavy". Although Mike is only a sixth of Linkin Park, Chester, Joe, Rob, Dave, and Brad would be nothing without him.

Even if shinoda has little part in this song I don't think this should ever be below top 10 hope this goes up real fast

Somewhere I Belong is 14?

The Contenders

11 Hold It Together
12 Lost In the Echo

I think this is the only song that the first time I heard it I liked so much, I love it, I love mike and linkin park! :3

This is the best linkin park song. The repetitiveness is completely capturing. By the end you feel you're about to burst because of how amazing it is and unconventional. By far the best.

The best song I heard from Mike shinoda... It should be ranked in the top 10 list...

THIS IS THE BEST SONG

13 Watching as I Fall

Out of the three new ones he released, this one would have to be my favorite - courier28

14 In Between

love this one good to listen to

Ah so calming (: he has a nice soft voice

15 Kenji

Kenji is his middle name... LITLARY anyway its an up building war song.

Tells a fantastic and inspiring story, and it's a solo. Easily one of his best songs.

BEST SONG BY FAR ON THIS LIST HOW DOES IT NOT MAKE THE TOP TEN

15?!?!?!? REALLY THIS SHOULD BE WITH REMEMBER THE NAME AND IN THE END

16 A Place for My Head

It deserves to be in top 10. I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night this is the best vote for it - Paree

Linkin park/Mike's hidden gem, great rapping by Mike, personally, to me it's one of his best songs.

In my opinion this song deserves top 10

I'm so sick of the tension.sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this...

17 I.O.U.
18 Lying from You
19 100 Degrees

Mike's rap in this song shows demonstrates his ability and the quality of his raps. What adds to this being a great song is the great piano riff and beat which is composed by Shinoda himself.

20 Nothing Makes Sense Anymore
21 Dedicated

ONE very ORIGANAL RAP SONG

My preferred song from him, by far.

22 Waiting for the End

Great rhythm and lyrics

AWESOME SONG
Should be no. 1

23 Running from My Shadow
24 Burn It Down

The rap in this song is DIVINE.
Just an epic beat, and some really cool lyrics.
LP at it's best.

YA it's a good song... Very nice...

That RAP part is EPIC.

Trhee words: Sooo damn catchy! I love it!

25 Believe Me

This song is one of the best song I have ever heard mike shinoda is my hero he the one that inspires me to keep writing my songs I'm a rapper because of him

this has the most coolest intro and then the rapping is even better

Believe Me Is Better That Hands Held High (Sure it is).
This And Kenji Should Be Right Up There in Top 10 - Paree

26 Crawling
27 Ghosts

By far one of his best songs... and that video is adorable!

28 Promises I Can't Keep Promises I Can't Keep

This song is more than perfect, practically sounds like it could be on an original Linkin Park album

You can hear the Chester in his voice

29 Castle of Glass

Mike's part is AWESOME. Better than Chester's. Mike is at his best on this song. He is an inspiration to all people who love singing. In this song we get something that's not often, Shinoda without a rap. He is simply the BEST at this song.

This song is best song forever

Because were only crackz
In this castle of glass

30 When They Come for Me

No. 21?!?!?!? You kidding me! Just listen to this song! The flow is awesome! The voice and pitch is hella dope! The lyrics are first class and it is the answer to the fans hating lp's new sound! It's the best mike song! Just listen this song! I give hundred percent guarentee that you will hella like this song! Come on guys vote! This should be at least in the top 5!

This song has one of the best raps of Mike Shinoda. Why is it in #21? Maybe because people hated ATS and didn't even bother to listen to this song which sounds like a mix between Meteora and MTM. Not to mention, this song is for all those haters who hates "new" LP.

31 High Road

Okay everyone who voted for the songs above this one are liars - This is the best.

This is the best one for sure...

32 Lift Off
33 High Voltage

The lyrics and flow plus the straight up vocabulary is amazing. One of the best mike made rymes

Come on guys. Every hip-hop head knows this is one of Shinoda's best. Great multis, lyrics and flow.

34 Nobody's Listening

this song reminds me of survivor the tv show IF U'VE EVER SEEN IT but cool song anyway

35 Step Up

Step up, exactly what mike was looking for I would say. The song that got me to start listening to Linkin Park and then following, fort minor. All I have to say is DOPELY SICK

Lyrically, one of Shinoda's dopest raps. calling out the fake rap rock bands who only used rapping as a gimmick unlike LP who were definitely inspired by hip-hop classics like Public Enemy, Rakim and Kool G Rap. Shinoda is definitely the best nu metal emcee to grace the mic.

36 No Roads Left

Amazing. I can't believe this song was almost scrapped from Minutes to Midnight.

One of the best songs of linkin park

37 I Have Not Begun

In my opinion this is Mike's fastest rap and shows the haters that he can rap fast and still at high quality his skills are unmatched by most

So fast it's unreal!

38 Lies Greed Misery
39 Welcome

My Favorite FORT MINOR Song!
LOVE It, deserves to be in TOP 10
M/ - WillWords

40 Crossing a Line

Beautiful

41 Second to None

It is a single for the movie Transformers in 2007, Styles Of Beyond ft Mike Shinoda. It has great lyrics and has typical Mike Shinodas style and rhythm. Another classic from him and definitely he is SECOND TO NONE!

It is just awesome... For those who haven't listened... Just try... Just try

42 Skin to Bone
43 It's Goin' Down

Lyrically Shinoda was at his best from 1997-2002 when it came to rapping. Complex multi-syllabic rhymes and a smooth flow. This is Shinoda at the top of his game.

Why isn't this on the list, its far better then all the above. It mikes greatest rap

Very good nu metal song!

44 Numb
45 Roads Untravelled

One of the best songs of Linkin Park so of the MIKE

46 A Line in the Sand

Awesome song by them

47 One Step Closer
48 The Catalyst

How is this song NOT on top?! This is the best song they have done!

49 Esaul

Just hear it and you'll know how fast a person can rap really awesome - Paree

50 Right Now

One of my favorite fort minor tracks. It is very touching and makes you wonder about what others are doing at the moment.

Styles and mike do an amazing job. Great lyrics and beat.
