10 Best Songs by the Windy City Rockers

Their compositions are an ingenious blend of classic metal elements and pop/rock, R&B beats. Fans with Disturbed tickets will get a lot of opportunity for head-banging and the band has this incredible ability to play music that gets your whole body in an uproar. They are back after four years hiatus and have promised the fans an experience of a lifetime. So while you wait for their extended trek, here’s a look at the best 10 songs by Disturbed.
“Guarded” – Featured on the band’s third album “Ten Thousand Fists”, the track dominated the rock radio and proved to be a huge hit. The raw guitar work by Donegan and hypnotic, intense vocals by Draiman helped the track standout. Lyrically, vocally and musically, the band didn’t hold out and the result was magnificent.
- “Down with the Sickness” – Appearing on the band’s debut album, the single has been featured in numerous movies and video games, and is a staple at many sporting events. The intro ends with Draiman’s loud scream that has become Disturbed’s signature auditory sound.
- “Inside the Fire” – Moyer’s opening nifty bass work and rhythmic intensity by Draiman has made this one of the best songs by Disturbed. A personal song, it features powerful vocals and is about Draiman’s ex-girlfriend who committed suicide as a teenager.
- “Asylum” – A standout number, this driving rocker also has a personal feel to it. Having a darker tone, it shows Draiman’s anguish over an unresolved relationship. Mike Wengren’s powerful drumming and Moyer’s rhythm section has pushed the song forward making it a hit.
- “Ten Thousand Fists” – A bonafide crowd pleaser, the title track has been called an exhilarating rocker. Composed with a concert stage in mind, it brings the jam-packed arenas to feet with its driving drums and guitars.
- “Prayer” – Inspired by the 9/11 attacks, this powerful track is a conversation with God.
- “Stupify” – It’s the song that placed Disturbed on the map. Featuring Draiman’s unique animal-like screams, the single had a heavy groove to it and pulls in listeners, making it the band’s most enduring track.
- “Stricken” – This was the song produced by a well established band and allowed Donegan to go solo with the guitar. The heavy wall of sound and incredible riffs made it a powerful piece.
- “Land of Confusion” – Not an original song by the band, it was a cover of Genesis hit number. Disturbed however gave it their unique treatment and it shouts of their ingenious style. An animated music video was also released in its support.
- “Shout 2000” – Another cover, the song was originally composed by Tears for Fears. Disturbed placed their own unique stamp on it, giving it a fresh vitality.
