System Of A Down - What songs do I need to know?

Question

I love the melodies and theatrical style and their expression. Should have gone to see them last year when I had the chance!.

I know question and hypnotize.

Answer 1

You were right to mention Question...it is a song by them...a very nice one at that!  

But yea some of their most known songs were Aerials, Chop Suey, Toxicity, Hypnotize, Lonely Day, Sugar, Spiders, BYOB and Soldier Side if that's what you meant by what songs do you need to know.

However, you should really get all the albums--they are GREAT!!  And like Emme said, the last two albums sound NOTHING like the first 3.  But I think that's good!  They came up with a different sound for themselves.  A lot of long-time fans didn't like them much after that because they were so stuck on the usual sound of the first 3 albums and because Daron (guitar/back up vocals) sang a lot more on that album (I guess they don't like his voice)...but I appreciate that they came up with a new style for themselves and I thought it came out good.  You should check them all out and compare for yourself.  

Answer 2

chop suey for suuureeee

Answer 3

I'm a bit confused.  You know question and hypnotize?  What question do you know and what about hypnotizing?  But I like BYOB and the anti-war message.

Answer 4

Listen to all their albums. Their first 3 sound nothing like mezmerize and hypnotize.
