The Top Ten

1
Strobe
Includes quite possibly the greatest beat drop in the history of electronic music. An absolute masterpiece, the Mona Lisa of electronic.
I created this list and I am happy that strobe is number one , I just love this song it is amazing and I hope it stays number one, for a long time
At first when I heard this, I was like "What's this? " then it slowly began to kick in and gradually t became Deadmau5 at his BEST. Without a doubt, deserved Number
1!

2Ghosts N Stuff
Definitely the most epic Deadmau5 song. It's pure genius. If you've never heard Deadmau5, play this song first!
I love this song... It makes me feel something different...
Love this song for its high energy. This can go on a playlist for the gym. I think this song is miles better than their other stuff.

3Raise Your Weapon
Awesome song, eight minutes of pure awesomeness. The dubstep drop at about minute 6 makes the song
The beginning of the song really hits you deeply, you get hooked to the song immediately, and when the drop at around 4 minutes happens, you just simple can't believe how amazing this song is, mix of Dubstep and House= Amazing!
Perfection from A2Z... This track brings you mind in another world... It's so unreal! The mau5 is magic!

4Some Chords
Every segment of this song, from beginning to end, is gold. Easily the best song on the album along with Animal rights.
Sick Beat!
The Best Song I've ever heard in my life by the best dj in the world
Its a song with more heard as ghosts and stuff or strobe or animal rights or moar ghosts and stuf. I think its the second most popular song of deadmau5.

5Right This Second
This song has some of the sickest drops in any deadmau5 song... the beginning of the song has a long intro that is completely mesmerizing then drops straight into a reoccurring loop, followed by another nasty drop... This song is the best song ever by deadmau5, it has my vote for number 1!
Midway through this song, when the buildup finally climaxes, it sends shivers along my skin every time. It really does sum up why I love deadmau5.
BEAUTIFUL! I rate this track second I heard it 5 min ago and can't even say how awesome it is Wow! 10 out of 10...

6I Remember
it has so so perfect music... and thanxs to dead mau 5 for extending it to a 10 min. track..
No matter how young or old you are, some way, some how, in some shape or form, this song will connect and stay with you for the rest of your life. You may find yourself moving along to its catchy sound or even find yourself thinking of a memory that you will never forget. From its structure, chords, timeless lyrics and vocals, beat, everything about this song is just perfect. This is a 10 minute timeless masterpiece of the 21st century, that stay with ALL MUSIC until the end of time. This is definitely one of Deadmau5's best.
Slow, calm, and somehow energetic all at once. Incredible to listen to in quiet or in dances. Everything about I remember is fresh and incredibly fun to listen to

7Aural Psynapse
This song is his later masterpieces and definitely his best. Being completely honest I think he may have outdone strobe with this one... The melody, the build up, the gradual progression throughout the song. This song is amazing.
So anthemic, and when it gets to halfway through at the quiet part you can just space out! Only for the awesome anthem to return! Up there with Strobe and Ghosts n Stuff.
The song really does put you into a trance. From the basslines, the saw lead melody, and the mixing of the song is truly a work of art. To be honest, I like this song better than Strobe, which is no. 1 on this list. It's that good.

8Professional Griefers
Such a sick beat, definitely one of the best deadmau5 songs, especially for parties.
This isn't number one because it's new! But in a few months! It will be on top!
This song has amazing kick and beat to it! I highly recommend getting the non-vocal version though...

9The Veldt
A warm and happy song, just paced so well. The vocals from Chris James just make it complete, and add a wondrous and astoundingly beautiful song.
If you don't know the story behind this, try watching the clip after reading about 'The Veldt' on a website like Wikipedia. Knowing the story it's based onn makes it real nice. I love the melody too, very relaxing.
One of his newest ones, this song brings us back to the Random Album Title days. Anybody who even listens to ONE Deadmau5 song needs to get this one. The instruments are perfect, the vocals are smooth to the point of bliss. Do not pass this one up! This needs to be his number one song.

THIS IS THE NEW STROBE, PEOPLE!

10Arguru
Amazing song to listen to, it deserves far more attention than it gets at the moment. While it doesn't match up to something such as Strobe its still a very good song!
A beautiful song... Then completely switches into a really cool bassy song love it If I made a list... Would be in my top 3
Insane :D Wish his newer stuff still sounded this good

The Contenders

11Moar Ghosts 'n' Stuff

Ok, it doesn't compare with Strobe but at least deserve top 5.

Excellent song to blast and rock out to while driving. I mean, it isn't the best song but it deserves to be higher up on the list

Seems like a remix of ghosts n' stuff and is more energetic, but I love strobe it just takes to long to get into it, again both amazing songs!

12HR 8938 Cephei
This music trances me so good, one of the best from deadmau5 for sure! Deserves a better place
Not as good as strobe or aural psynapse, but definitely top 5 material
For a while I have thinked that this one was Strobe, Strobe is good but a think this is better in relax terms, is slow and at the same time have a good rhythim...

13Animal Rights
Best use of musical instruments so far. Has an unprecedented amount of genius that makes this track one of Deadmau5's bests songs ever. Strobe was good, this was amazing.
Perfect amount of build up. There is more variation in the use of instruments.
Best song he has every made. PERIOD. Friend introduced me to this track a few months ago, can't stop listening to it!

14Faxing Berlin
The best song by far (the original mix of course). It has nearly everything you can ask for in a song! Way to go Deadmau5 I donĀ't get why I just started listening to him this year!
This song is amazing! Strobe is the best but this Rocks! I could listen to this for ages... It's a great listen. I recommend you look it up if you haven't heard it.
This may not be as well known as his other songs, but it is still a great song from his best album. This is one of his classics, and one of the first I heard by him.

15Bleed
One of the best songs! By Deadmau5! I always listen to this when I'm sad and It make feel better! I love Deadmau5... One of the best Dj's ever! He really knows how to make music.

I honestly believe of all his songs this is the only one that could surpass strobe. The raw emotion this portrays just astounds me. And it is such a shame that it is in 23. I cry when listening to this song. It brings back the times in my life where I have been at my lowest or at my peak, it shows me my goals and my achievements. So you can vote some chords or chtulu sleeps, but is that really his best work?
There is no way Faxin Berlin should be above this. This song is beautiful from start to finish capturing so much emotion in the synths. It is a masterpiece.

16There Might Be Coffee
I was just scrolling through deamau5's songs, saw his new album, saw this song and said "That's a peculiar name".
I listened to the song and it was love at first sight. I may be biased for my absolute love of violins. The beat is nice, very deadmau5esque. There is also the constant drumming of the bass line. The harmony makes me feel like I'm underwater.
This is a career landmark for Deadmau5. In terms of quality, expect something similar to "Aural Synapse" and dare I say it, "Strobe. " Yeah... I cannot stress this enough... It is THAT good.
There's something about the way this track begins that really sets me into such a great mood. I just love this track.

17Cthulhu Sleeps
Literally one of his bests songs, its no strobe but this song definitely deserves top 10
Awesome song. My favorite by far because of its unique beat drop. The chill section starting at 30 is simply amazing. It hypnotized you.
Deserves to be in top 10.

18Brazil (2nd Edit)

I can't begin to comprehend how this isn't higher up in the list. This has the sickest, Spaced out vibe to it that is amazing. This song is the kind that gives you butterflies in your stomach from listening to it.

Come on guys!. This song is amazing. It has an amazing atmosphere and a perfect melody. It was because of this song that I make myself a Deadmau5 fan!

How is this song not on the list yet? Great song I really only like about 10 of his songs and this is definitely one of them. Strobe is still the best though

19Alone With You

I once listened to Brazil-Alone with You, back-to-back, while running. I think by the time that I was halfway sick of the songs, I had already put in well over 10 miles.

Takes you on a magical journey from high to high. No matter how bad things are, this tune brings back hope.

20Sofi Needs a Ladder
This song is pure beat pumping, dance floor awesomeness.
This song, in my opinion, might be not the best, but hell yeah a great song! I think it is not right that this amazing song is down here below in the 16 place. Deadmau5 forever!
Listen to the beat! It's all the evidence! It shows true dance and electronic sounD! I don't SEE HOW THIS isn't NUMBER 1!

21Jaded

Simplicity is the name of the game here, and Deadmau5 delivers with a beautiful track. If you haven't heard this track, do yourself a favor and listen! It builds on the same progression throughout, adding subtle elements to the timbre of the synths and to the beat. Add in a perfect breakdown and you've got a top 10 track!

22Arcadia

This song will be in the top ten soon! I hope that.


23Channel 42

24Orca
Awesome song! Unbelieavably heavy drop!
This is top 10 quality. It is one of my staple deadmau5 songs just like strobe, faxing Berlin, brazil, and arguru. If you haven't heard it and like the songs I mentioned, I highly suggest it!

25A City In Florida
WHAT?!?! WHY IS IT DOWN HERE?!?! THIS SONG IS SICK I LOVE IT AND I HEAR IT EVERYDAY! IT DESERVES TO BE NUMBER ONE PEOPLE!
How is this not number 1? I've listened to 3 of Deadmau5's albums, and I have to say, this is my absolute favorite song. Listening to it on a great speaker system also enhances the quality, too.
This this song is $&@! Amazing! I've listened to all the top ten and this one is by far my favorite. Most songs are to slow for M. This song has a faster beat and a great song. Can't believe this song is so far down!

This song reminds me of strobe. I guess you could call it strobe 2. I love it, both the melody and the build up. My favorite song from the new deadmau5 album.


288bit

8bit was one of deadmau5's first songs released, and definitely deserves a spot in the top 3

30Not Exactly
I could say something like "Sick Beat! " or "Come on guys, vote it up! " But honestly, this is one of the best deadmau5 tracks ever produced. It is perfectly paced and is thoroughly enjoyable. At least in the Top 10 for me.
Kind of biased as this was the first song I heard of his and remains one of my faves. Should be waay higher up the list!
Really cool song. My favorite. Can't believe it's so underrated! This should be in the top 5 at least, together with Strobe, Raise your Weapon, The Veldt and Profesional Griefers. I love Faxing Berlin and Brazil too.

31Fn Pig
One of the best intros I've ever heard in a song in a long time. The song is paced so well, and the drop is awesome. Brilliant
This song has a really cool beat! The first part tells you "get ready". Once it finally comes you are listening to a really sick beat! Listen and wait!
This is a new song and people who will listen this song simply rate it and vote for top 10. It deserves it. Love this sick beat

If you've ever watched Close Encounters of the third kind, you can relate to this song. The beats and synth are awesome.

35Maths

Complex and hard hitting, beats Ghosts N Stuff anytime. Lovely glitchy sound to it, with great build up, breaks and drops!


36Creep
This song deserves a listen. So melancholy and powerful, it has to be one of his deepest songs.

43Bad Selection

I cannot believe this song is further down on this list. What an amazing track! Wonderful all around, from the climax of the song to the consistency of the beat. One of the best deadmau5 tracks in my opinion, in my top 5, even beating Strobe.

One of my favorite songs overall (not just Deadmau5). The way the "instrumentality" (new word? ) fits with the vocals is stunning when you think about it closely.

Amazing song, love the piano beat drop! This song always gets me in a really good mood, definitely a contender for Strobe's crown.

Epic unreleased song with a touch of dubstep. Personally I think that this version of Cthulhu sleeps should have been on 4X4=12. Cthulhu Sleeps was far too long but this is just right.

What I really love about this song is how the song, the lyrics from Imogen Heap and the music video blend together. Without the lyrics and the music video, this song wouldn't make any sense. I think this deserves top 20.
I've heard part of it on soundcloud and it is incredible! Imogen Heap and (2 of my favorite artists) collaborated on this one and it is beautiful. I'm sure when it comes out it will be up top!
