10: Moskau.
Moskau is one of my favourites for many reasons. The Russian in the song sounds amazing, when sung by either Till or Tatu and has the coveted "catchienes" that is extremely hard to get across to mix language audiences. It also has the energetic break down at the end that really emits passion and effort.
9: Sonne.
One of the biggest staples in Rammstein's resumaé, sonne has the power, the vocal brilliance and the lyrical prowess that has become a trait to the band. The last verse sounds pretty awesome to be fair :P
8: Mutter.
This song would probably be a bit cringe-worthy if it were to be English due to its subject matter, however it manoeuvres through this mine field of a topic well and is dare I say it, enrapturing.
7: Rein Raus.
This is a very tongue in cheek take on a commonly explored subject. It has great lyrics and also a very good sound to it, Rammstein have once again managed to make a song that is easy for people who don't speak German to pick up.
6: Keine Lust.
An hilarious song that fits perfectly within their "jokey" take on music. And the twist at the end really keeps you interested lyrically and musically.
5: Mein Teil (Single Version)
This song is about a German man who slaughtered and ate a willing victim. Not the beginnings of a great song I know, but when you listen to the song and read the lyrics, which are from the point of view of the willing victim, you will realise just how great a song this really is.
4: B********
Its different! :O But I hate that? don't I? usually yes I do, though this has changed for the better, if that's possible, and so I feel it is truly one of their greatest songs ever, though other Rammstein fans will feel it is their worst, it's kinda the musical mustard :/
3: Engel (Extended Version)
Out of all the versions to choose this is by far the best. Lyrically and musically it is sound. I mean, it even rhymes in English :O That must have been hard to write :s
2: Zwitter
Funny, powerful and energetic to the max, this song has it all, and it has it just right, these traits are not exemplified by any other song. So how is this number two rather then one? I hear you ask, well, you shall find out ;)
10:Moskau
9:Sonne
8:Mutter
7:Rein Raus
6:Keine Lust
5:Mein Teil (Single Version)
4:B********
3:Engel (Extended Version)
2:Zwitter
1: Haifisch
The only way for a song to beat zwitter would be for it to have outstanding lyrics, fortunately that is just what haifisch has, along with ease to pick up, a great sound and everything that Rammstein are. This is in my humble opinion the pinnacle, the zenith, the ultimate Rammstein song.
