Top 10 Best Songs on Alice in Chains' Dirt

Heavy. Powerful. Gives me shivers. Great guitar and mind-blowing vocals, bass, and drums. An absolute favorite.

This song is in my top ten for greatest songs of all time. That's how good it is. Period.

I can't get it out of my head. It's just too good.

This song is about Jerry Cantrell's father, Jerry Cantrell Sr., and his service in the Vietnam War. Rooster was the nickname he went by.

How in the hell is this not first?

Why is this not number one? One of the best songs I've ever heard. It helps me through hard times.

Way too low. This song is just beautiful and also has a lighter tone than the others.

Best song they've written.

It's just amazing. The riff, the time signatures, the lyrics, the chorus, the vocals, the bass, the drums, the guitar licks, the emotion - it's EVERYTHING Alice in Chains represents. It's SO DAMN hard to choose only one song from Dirt - it's a pure masterpiece - but I have to go with "Rain When I Die." Close contenders are "Dam That River," "Would?," "Them Bones," and "Rooster."

Actually tied for first with Rain When I Die, but this song always gets all the love.

Classic heavy metal for real men.

Best grunge song ever.

Should be number one, actually. So dark and depressive.

The riffs are undeniably awesome.

The aspects of this song are very intense and just perfect. - Eddie Bryant

A great song about a terrifying subject. It is diverse in the sense that it makes you happy yet forces you to think about difficult topics like drugs, mental and physical pain, and despair. The song starts off with an upbeat drum cymbal but suddenly slows down into an emotional grind. Alice in Chains masters the art of "making something terrifying into something beautiful" with ease.

Awesome song, very underrated and overshadowed by the rest of Dirt. Hate to Feel is also good.

Very cool vocals and drumming in the chorus. Although, I think Junkhead should also be in the top 10.
