Top Ten Songs That Would Have Been Better if They Were Instrumentals

It doesn't mean I hate the vocals in the songs or the singers voices in general, except some few exceptions. I just think the songs would have sounded better as instrumental songs.
The Top Ten
1 Stimulated - Tyga
2 Bohemian Rhapsody - Lil Meerkat
3 Wake Up Dead - Megadeth

Agree with the comment of Dave Mustaine being a poor vocalist so it makes sense to have some Megadeth songs on here especially from Dystopia where the lyrics I have seen heavily criticized as well.

I love Megadeth, and I do think Mustaine's vocals can be necessary at times to add an effect in his songs, but for the most part he isn't a great vocalist. Still a legendary guitar player though.

4 Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger - Iron Maiden

Interesting, I actually think the repetition here is effective because it alters a bit and introduces us to one of the band's best solos, whereas in The Angel and the Gambler, there is no reason for it.

I like several songs from the Blaze Bayley era (and it's not like Bruce's vocals were stellar on No Prayer for the Dying either), but his vocals are clearly the weakest part of any song from that time.

I don't think it needs a different vocalist just needs a less repetitive chorus

5 Repent - Yngwie Malmsteen

I don't think Yngwie is a really bad singer but he's not that good either (especially compared to the vocalists he's hired) but his vocals do not dimish his talent guitar playing talent at all.

6 Shredded Humans - Cannibal Corpse

InB4 some adds more CC songs just because "the vocals are AWFUL" even though their supposed to sound like that

7 The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner - Iron Maiden

I start to think we two have the absolute opposite taste in Iron Maiden. This is my 14th favorite and the vocals are part of the reason why it is there. If I had to pick an Iron Maiden song for this list, it would be The Duellists. The chorus is pretty weak and the other vocal parts don't add to the song either. I guess it can't be an instrumental because the album already has one.

8 Amsterdam - Van Halen
9 Living Wreck - Deep Purple
10 Angel from the Coast - Thin Lizzy
The Contenders
11 Whiplash - Metallica
12 Bleed - Meshuggah

Is this a death metal song?

13 Kim - Eminem

No. Eminem's screamed horror-core styled rapping is what triggers the strong emotions expressed in the song even further

14 Mechanix - Megadeth
15 Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse
16 Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
17 Amerika (English Version) - Rammstein

I prefer the guitar solo in this than the album version.

18 The Oath - Mercyful Fate

The sample is the intro though.

19 The One - Elena Siegman
20 70cm Shihounomadobe - ROTTENGRAFFTY
21 Requiem - Bathory
22 In My Mind - Dynoro

Oh yeah, the high pitched vocals are annoyingly repetitive while the beat is pretty good. This should have an instrumental version.

This should have instruments good but needs something more

23 7 Years - Lukas Graham
24 Bada Boom - Cash Cash
25 Barbie Girl - Aqua

Nah...if you already hate this song, it would sound even more horrible with a overly repetitive nursery rhyme-like instrumental
