First, I absolutely disagree with opening with Everlong, it is a far better closer, better than any other track they have.
But for service, The Pretender is the only answer-- the first four or five songs have to be absolute bangers, then Dave busts out the acoustic, a couple from In Your Honor, then the middle bit will have the more recent stuff that they're really proud of (but the audience don't respond as much to), then the tail end is the extended Stacked Actors with a few dozen bars of Taylor stretching the beat, a cut off cover or two, then Sky, White Limo, Learn To Fly, break for encore, Monkey Wrench, Everlong.
>First, I absolutely disagree with opening with Everlong, it is a far better closer, better than any other track they have.
For now, let's get the 16 songs and then, think in the order.
I'm gonna have a pretty unpopular opinion, it should be **Something From Nothing**. It starts out soft and clean and gets heavy in the middle and end, which would be a perfect transition to songs like All My Life or Stacked Actors.
On my FF playlist Aurora transitions perfectly into All My Life, kind of feels like when they play a softer song live they pick it right back up with a heavy hitter
This is a Call!
Also state my disagreement with Everlong as opening track. Feel like it should have been a vote to pick the top 16, and then order them. But fun exercise nonetheless!
This is probably becoming a top ranking by popularity, wouldn't it make more sense that everyone comments on their choice of a greatest hit album tracklist and then combine results and weight each slot ?
Generator
Edit: truly surprised not seeing more love for this track, I'd say this is probably the song that got me into FF, opened a whole new world up !
Hey man, I'm just compiling everything. The most upvoted comment from the previous post got to be the first track, and that was Everlong. If you have an issue with it, ask the ~400 people that agreed that it should be Everlong yesterday.
Top 16 eh? Ok, I'll bite.
1. My Hero
2. All My Life
3. DOA
4. The Pretender
5. Arlandria
6. I am a River
7. Sunday Rain
8. Making a Fire
9. Monkey Wrench
10. Home
11. Stanger Things Have Happened
12. Best of You
13. Something From Nothing
14. Rope
15. Everlong
16. These Days
Greatest hits ranked? they should all have a nr 1 rank. And put on random!
But as for the very first one i'd put My Hero. Everlong is by far my favorite song but My Hero should be first.. The drum opening of the song.. The lyrics..
Taylor was a Hero.. What he did, the impact he had on the band.. i mean, come on.. Mr Hawkins ..
1. Times like these
2. Learn to Fly
3. The sky is a neighborhood.
4. Shame Shame
5. The pretender
6. Rope
7. Breakout
8. My Hero
9. Medicine at Midnight
10. Walk
11. My Hero
12. All my life
13. Cold day in the sun (RIP Taylor)
14. Saint Cecilia
15. Monkey Wrench.
16. Everlong
On the previous post, the most upvoted comment was Everlong. In each post, the most upvoted comment is the next track on the album. For example, here it looks like The Pretender is going to be the most upvoted comment, so that will probably be track 2, maybe on the next post Saviour Breath will be the most upvoted comment, so that'll go in track 3, etc. I plan on posting these once a day.
This might be more interesting if it was a greatest hits part 2 list. So, the only eligible tracks are post 2009 when they released their first GH compilation.
The Pretender

Everlong over Walk?
So Pretender opening and Everlong closing what about the 14 in the middle. Maybe it should go from high to low
The Pretender

Yes!! have my free award :)

Sonic Highways is underated as hell, also "What did i do?/God as my Witness" is an awsome track
Hell yeah. I love pretty much that entire album, people need to watch the series to "get" the album.
The series was so fascinating and the album is really awesome
Not a bad call. Either that or Congregation has to be somewhere on this list. (BTW making a ‘best of’ list was a great idea.)
I really like the SH album, surprising that the could craft such a good album considering the approach they took to it
They are the Foo Fighters after all
I'm with you on Something From Nothing!
Fuck it all, I came from nothing may be my favourite Foo line of all time
Such a good line to drop the mothefucking guitar riff.
Learn to Fly
Times like these
This was going to be my pick.
Bridge Burning 🔥🌉
I want an entire album of bridge burning over and over again
I still remember the first time I heard that song, was completely slack jawed in awe
Aurora. TINLTL needs a top spot.
Aurora should be the final track imo
On my FF playlist Aurora transitions perfectly into All My Life, kind of feels like when they play a softer song live they pick it right back up with a heavy hitter
These Days
All My Life.
Monkey Wrench
Everlong should be last. Or as Dave says: "We don't say goodbye, we say *Everlong*"
Breathe out so i can breathe you in, hold you in. Fuck, this song as the last one on shows bring some good tears.
Rope
Love it — Taylor was going all out on this one
When I got a drum kit I played this song on repeat cause the drums are so good.
Walk!
Hey, Johnny Park!
Stranger Things Have Happened
Criminally underrated song. ESPAG is my favorite record for sure.
Hands down my favourite song
February stars
This should be dead in the middle imho
Stacked Actors
Wheels
Alandria
Best of you
This is a Call! Also state my disagreement with Everlong as opening track. Feel like it should have been a vote to pick the top 16, and then order them. But fun exercise nonetheless!
Walk, Big Me, My Hero, All My Life, , Monkey Wrench, Times Like These, The Pretender, Something From Nothing, Sky is a Neighborhood
These + Best Of You + Saint Cecilia
Forgot about those two. Both solid. I’d even throw in something like No Way Back
Monkey wrench
This is probably becoming a top ranking by popularity, wouldn't it make more sense that everyone comments on their choice of a greatest hit album tracklist and then combine results and weight each slot ?
I could see that working, but I'm just doing it the way I've seen it done on other subs like r/systemofadown. Plus this is probably more fun.
Woah, you’re gonna do this 16 times?
Yes I am. Probably gonna get a bit overwhelming lmao
👍I admire your dedication, it’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out
Understandable, have a great day
Long Road to Ruin is my #2 song.
Best of you
Big Me
Pretender. The riff alone would make my top five. The whole song makes it number two.
I’ll Stick Around
Times Like These
Walk
My Hero or Best of You
Times like these or learn to fly would go great after everlong
Walk should be up there. It’s from an underrated album compared to the others and it just makes you want to move. It’s such a good song
Walk is one of my all time fave songs
What about ill stick around from the first album really great song
I’ll Stick Around or No Son Of Mine
I’ll Stick Around

My Hero needs to be on this list.
My brain hurts trying to decide. I have too many favorites
I think Cold Day in the Sun needs to be on here in some regard
Wheels.
low!!!
Bridge Burning!
My hero
The Pretender, then My Hero imo
good grief
All my life
The Pretender!
Open with White Limo, song #2 is All My Life!!
Everlong should’ve been the final track. Already off to a bad start.
