Top 10 Best Alternative Metal Songs

Home - Three Days Grace

Strange that this is number four on this list while it's number eight or nine on TheTopTens list of top 10 Three Days Grace songs. Go visit that page and vote for Home. This song is awesome. And also, vote for Chevelle on other lists for goodness' sake.

Beats every song here! Just listen to the sample. You will be shocked by its power. This house is not a home, I think I'm better off alone.

Love this song. I'm a bit shocked no Breaking Benjamin songs are here though. Personally, I think they're the best alternative metal band ever.

Freak on a Leash - Korn

System of a Down fan, but Freak on a Leash is one of the best and most badass songs ever written.

Great song! I love Korn. I highly recommend Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" as well.

Prison Song - System of a Down

I wish this band will have more and more songs like this. All their songs are perfectly good! System of a Down rocks! Keep going, wish to see you in Armenia!

System of a Down is way better!

Chop Suey! - System of a Down

This song surely deserves to top the list.
No competition to Chop Suey.

This song definitely deserves to be on the top of the list. By the way, I also like Korn a lot, so I couldn't choose between Korn and System of a Down. But I like System of a Down more, so I just picked this song.

What is wrong here? There should be like three to four songs by System of a Down in the top 10.

Breath - Breaking Benjamin

You take the breath right out of me, man. This song should be the first, and Three Days Grace must be at the second.

The first song I heard by them and definitely one of the best songs I've ever listened to.

This song is so awesome. I love it so much.

Duality - Slipknot

This is their anthem at their shows. Everybody sings along, and it gives me shivers every time! Once a Maggot, always a Maggot.

This isn't just the best alternative metal song. This is the best song ever written. Slipknot are geniuses. Maggot for life.

B.Y.O.B. - System of a Down

In my opinion, this is the best SOAD song and just the best alternative metal song.

Epic - Faith No More

Sober - Tool

One of the best songs ever, including metal, rock, alternative metal, whatever, it outweighs all the other bands. Maynard is such a good singer and songwriter.

Dudes, this song revolutionized the alternative metal genre. Maynard's voice is just amazing in this song.

One of the best songs of all time and best bands of all time at 20? Laugh out loud! What a bunch of nincompoops!

In the End - Linkin Park

One of the best songs with awesome lyrics. Why is this not at first place?

In the Meantime - Spacehog

If it weren't for this band, most of the ones on this list wouldn't even exist.

Feathergun in the Garden of the Sun - Rishloo

Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine

I'm not a fan of metal, and I don't like rap, but after four or five times listening to this song (rap metal with funk influences), you will understand that it is a masterpiece.
No matter if you like Vivaldi or Banco or Stevie Wonder or Cesaria Evora or Coltrane, take your time to discover this complex gem.
