Objective Top 40 Incubus Songs Ranked
The odd overlap of nostalgia and legitimate quality music. |
| 1 | Incubus
Sick Sad Little World
Song riffs so hard and Brandon is moody as fuck and the guitar solo is effective as
fuck perfect song tbh |
| 2 | Just a Phase
That climax |
| 3 | The Warmth
When Mike comes in and plays the initial heavily-affected motif with heavy distortion
during the final chorus god what a moment |
| 4 | Pantomine
It's a shame this wasn't included on a true studio album (as with Punch Drunk), this
might be my favorite of Brandon's vocal performances. Big fan of the descending bass
riffs as well. |
| 5 | Pendulous Threads
Incubus covers the Mars Volta! |
| 6 | New Skin
This is still the most played song of all time on my iTunes. |
| 7 | Azwethinkweiz
Old Incubus was a riot. |
| 8 | Pardon Me
Perhaps the best example of Boyd's idiosyncratic lyrics and flow. I've always really
enjoyed the stream of consciousness to his lyrics, and in this song in particular the
verses are employed with the speed and timing of a slam poet. |
| 9 | Leech
Hugely under-appreciated. |
| 10 | Nice to Know You
Artsy chill HEAVY DISTORTION spoons NICE TO KNOW YOU GOODBYEEEEE |
| 11 | Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)
This song impregnated me |
| 12 | Psychopsilocybin
Because of this song I knew what Psilocybin was in 5th grade. Jams so hard. |
| 13 | Punch Drunk
Best B-side?should have made the final cut on Light Grenades but glad it made it onto
Monuments and Melodies. |
| 14 | Clean
The layering in the intro is classic |
| 15 | Pistola
Incubus simultaneously at their most eclectic and infectious |
| 16 | When it Comes
Mike's distortion is so warm and pleasing on Make Yourself. |
| 17 | Warning
SHE WOOOOKE IN THE MOOORNIIIING |
| 18 | Rogues
Dem funky riffs |
| 19 | A Certain Shade of Green
One of the first songs I ever learned on drum set. |
| 20 | Redefine
Fucking Heavy |
| 21 | Drive
Classic?has not at al worn on me with its time and radio ubiquity. |
| 22 | Aqueous Transmission
Maybe a bit long, but the definition of chill. |
| 23 | Anna Molly
Most underrated Incubus single in my opinion. |
| 24 | Here in My Room
Really effective piano-ballad; really dug the more artistic and moody direction the
band took with Crow. |
| 25 | Speak Free
Sometimes I miss the Mr. Bungle-worshipping days. |
| 26 | Under My Umbrella
One of the band's heaviest and most abrasive cuts. |
| 27 | In the Company of Wolves
Pretty standard binary style of writing, which is interesting in the rock music medium. |
| 28 | 11 A.M.
Even back when I thought songs without heavy distortion were dumb I admitted to my
10-year old self that this was a great song. |
| 29 | Megalomaniac
This was the second song (After Drive) that I heard from Incubus and at the time it
was ridiculous to me that a group that released such a chill and reflective acoustic
song could be so angry. |
| 30 | Paper Shoes
One of my favorite drum performances from Jose. |
| 31 | Isadore
The best of the soccer-mom soft rock tracks on INNW |
| 32 | Make Yourself
Brandon says fuck like 80 times in this song, how was Make Yourself not given a
parental advisory sticker? |
| 33 | Deep Inside
Where the fuck are we? |
| 34 | Blood on the Ground
One of the best heavy tracks on Morning View. |
| 35 | Light Grenades
Really interesting song in the scheme of the album?Incubus at their most energetic
and punk. |
| 36 | Vitamin
Classicest riff/chorus. |
| 37 | Privilege
Classicer riff/chorus. |
| 38 | Nowhere/Fast
Classic riff/chorus. |
| 39 | Beware! Criminal
Crow was such an eclectic and weird album. |
| 40 | The Original
INNW was so gay |
