Top Ten Best Tenacious D Songs
After listening to the fan collaboration and the rereleased 1995 demo remaster, I think it's safe to say that I have been a fan of the D since the very beginning, when their debut 2001 album was released during my high school years.
"Tribute" is one of those songs that got me through hard times, such as my dad passing away. It has powerful but funny lyrics, great voices from both JB and KG, and the absolute eargasm that is the "Nay! We are but men!" part and the ending. I listened to that album all the time until my mom got sick of it, even when I was playing Pokemon or studying for a test.
The follow-up albums, the Pick of Destiny soundtrack, Rize of the Fenix, and Post-Apocalypto, were great, too. I have one last thing to say: long live the D. Your socks have officially been rocked off.
When someone says that Tenacious D is satanic, I reply with, "These guys beat the Devil in a rock-off challenge in this song. They deserve a special spot in Heaven."
This song is probably the reason why The Pick of Destiny is one of the greatest 2000s musical comedy movies of all time, and it still remains a cult classic to this day. When I first saw this movie back in late 2006, I just broke down laughing at the scenes with Dave Grohl as the Devil. The whole final battle scene was worth it.
The Pick of Destiny is a reminder that just because it has stupid comedy, it doesn't mean that it's a terrible movie. This was peak Jack Black back in the day.
I gotta say Master Exploder is the best song ever, even better than Tribute or Beelzeboss. The world's best song by far. I mean, he doesn't need a microphone!
Absolutely brilliant! This is a lyrical masterpiece with amazing riffs and solos. Definitely #1 material.
Sorry, but this song blows my mind!
This is pretty much JB's backstory in song form. He is from a well-off, religious, conservative family who hates rock music. Yet, when he plays the "tasty jam" to his family, he gets spanked and grounded for a week.
So he prays to Dio for guidance, and Dio tells him to run away from his family and his hometown to travel to Hollywood, where he will meet KG in the end. Such a powerful song for a simple backstory.
Great song, the first song I ever heard and really liked from Tenacious D, and the clip is just awesome!
No one can destroy the metal. The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow. We are the vanquished foes of the metal. We tried to win, but why we do not know.
My favorite line in this song. No one can destroy the metal... until you realize that a former member of a famous grunge band is playing the drums. But still, good song.
You can't kill the metal. The metal will live on! These other songs tried to kill the metal. Ha, they failed as I voted for The Metal!
Best song in the universe. Tenacious D kicks ass.
This song is not only incredibly captivating, but it is also beautifully written and rather funny.
A classic epic that is sung with vocal soul.
Awesome! God, how I miss these guys...
This song really is great. Jack Black's vocals on this song are the best I've ever heard in my life. I'm not exaggerating at all. Just listen to it.

I think this is the best song. Honestly, not trying to sound negative, but Tribute just shouldn't even be in the top ten. It's either this song or Beelzeboss for me!
This song was a playlist staple for every one of our house parties in college. It was a party anthem akin to Bohemian Rhapsody. Every one of us would passionately and dramatically sing every word of this song to our girlfriends for the entire crowd to behold.
Some say their eyes are still rolling to this very day, like boulders cascading down a never-ending hillside.
This song, for a guy that doesn't know much, is helpful and inspiring! I hope in the future it helps as much as I think it will.
Please vote for this song. It has a deep meaning that is very close to my heart and soul. Thank you.
This song is amazing, definitely the best song from The Rize of the Fenix, and one of their best songs overall. It's just so good, so good. Jack Black's voice continues to astound me.

Epic in only a way Tenacious D could achieve.
Yo, what the heck? This song is the number one if-you-wanna-rock song. This owns noobs every day. I personally think this is better than your mom!
Genius lyrics to classical music melodies.
Awesome, but short. Should be higher.
This is probably the closest Tenacious D ever came to a serious song.
Funky riffs. Funny lyrics. Awesome vocals. In short, a perfect D classic song.
The greatest song they have ever written. Perfect catchphrases and breaking the fourth wall with this song. Both their humor and musical talent shine in this song.
This song needs to be higher on the list. Everything in it is perfect. The melody is so catchy, and the story is amazing! Jack's vocals are godly as well!
