jamiestarr | 11/18/2008, 12:24 am EST

Lets Go Crazy should have made the list!! and Blondie “one way or another”

arsenalvswanker | 11/18/2008, 8:21 am EST

No Jim Croce – Bad, Bad Leroy Brown?? Tsk–tsk

The Manson song belongs there, but Thunderstruck, are you kidding me? There is this song called “Killing in the Name” by this band called Rage Against the Machine that is conspicuously missing from this list. In fact, there are a number of Rage songs that should be on this list.

You know, not every song with the word “fight” in the title is a good fight song. Now, Dope’s “Die MF Die” is a great fight song. The best fight songs are the ones that make you want to beat the living daylights out of anything that moves.

Sudden Impact Live | 11/20/2008, 4:20 pm EST

2nd that this is a horrible list..and def Rage should be on there.

joel | 12/13/2008, 6:40 pm EST

Lolzors | 1/17/2009, 11:02 pm EST

Jason | 1/26/2009, 5:09 pm EST

Fight Music by Eminem is crazy shit. go listen to it.

How about “let the bodies hit the floor” by drowning pool. I can’t think of anything that says fight then bodies falling like rain drops.

Thensome | 2/2/2009, 6:14 pm EST

was this list made by an ex-hippy. I wouldn’t work-out to this list let along get enough rage to fight.

chodi brody the real o.g. | 5/20/2009, 12:20 pm EST

this list sucks fuckers

tom | 5/21/2009, 2:12 am EST

nirvana’s come as you are doesn’t seem like a fight song, but for some reason it makes me wanna go out and kick some @$$

Mark | 6/29/2009, 6:15 pm EST

2pac – Hit ‘em up, little homies, straight ballin’ (pt 2), when we ride on our enimies. Cypress hill – Rock star (not exactly a fight song but the beat will get you pumped). This list is terrible!!

ABB | 7/17/2009, 6:38 am EST

Rolling stone def. showing their age. Agreed that all these tracks are brilliant in their own right but fight songs? Don’t think so. Not hard enough or aggresive enough.

NFC | 7/18/2009, 5:05 pm EST

Best fight song for sure is The Way of the Fist by Five Finger Death Punch. Destroys anything on this list and mostly everything else that people are reccomending.

A MFn PRO | 8/3/2009, 2:19 am EST

first off they need real music like this shit!!
Audioslave- set it off
Disturbed – Droppin plates, down with the sickness, indestructable,
NonPoint – alive and kicking, explain yourself, wrecking ball, code red,
Rage Against the Machine – bulls on parade, killing in the name,
hollywood undead- black dahlia
godsmack – i stand alone… i can go on for hours

metal tops this crap all day | 8/3/2009, 7:05 pm EST

screams of the undead by demon hunter. you cant hardly beat it. oblivion by project 86 is awesome too. or, undying by demon hunter, specifically the wild boar remix. for those who like drunken fights, drink and fight by flogging molly is never a problem for me. other good ones include: within destruction (as i lay dying), up against the ropes (august burns red), not ready to die (demon hunter), inside the fire or down with the sickness (disturbed), girls would probly like unbreakable (fireflight), master of puppets (metallica), bleak (opeth. but i recommend its loud), your heroes are dead (project 86), and personally, and patriotic song is a good fight song

Frontline by Pillar, and Set the World on Fire by Symphony X should definitely be on the list
