- Surfacing (Slipknot, 1999) Surfacing has long been considered Slipknot fans’ “new national anthem” for good reason. Other tracks might have been more responsible for the Iowans breaking the big time, but Surfacing benchmarked the nastiness bubbling underneath that would keep them there.
- Eyeless (Slipknot, 1999) ‘You can’t see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes,’ wretches Corey Taylor on this chaotic nu-metal banger, repeating the disturbed mantra hurled at him by a homeless person on the side of the street.
- People = Shit (Iowa, 2001) Far more than the million mum-upsettingly offensive T-shirts it helped spawn, Iowa’s furious second song works as both a scalding indictment of human stupidity and a cathartic release for anyone caught on the wrong end of it.
- Wait And Bleed (Slipknot, 1999) The band’s first single of the Roadrunner era (and their first to earn a GRAMMY nomination) still startles with its sheer lunatic darkness today.
From 1997 to 2010, many of Slipknot's songs were written by the core group of vocalist Corey Taylor, bassist Paul Gray, drummer Joey Jordison and percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan. Guitarist Mick Thomson , percussionist Chris Fehn , turntablist Sid Wilson and sampler Craig "133" Jones were also co-credited for songwriting on the band's first ...

- XIX (.5: The Gray Chapter, 2014) Every Slipknot album harbours an intro track, and The Gray Chapter’s is arguably the most morose of the lot. Clown starts with a typically Clown asseveration – ‘This song is not for the living.
- Skin Ticket (Iowa, 2001) Skin Ticket is Corey’s most disturbing vocal take that’s an actual song (yeah, we’re not counting Iowa’s title track), his teeth audibly gritted during that haunting ‘Come see my cage, built in my grain’ refrain.
- Diluted (Slipknot, 1999) Reworked from Interloper, a track from the band’s 1998 demo, Diluted is one of the self-titled album’s more charming efforts.
Slipknot is a metal group based in Des Moines, Iowa. They were formed in 1995, and are well known for their live shows and their image of nine masked performers.
- Wait And Bleed (Slipknot, 1999) This is it. Slipknot’s first single, off their first album, and a snapshot of everything Slipknot became known for. The keg smashes aren’t isolated, pronounced moments like in Duality – they’re rattling through the entire thing.
- People = Shit (Iowa, 2001) Iowa is the first, and most certainly the only UK number-one album to open with a blastbeat. Likewise, it’s the only UK number-one album to open with a man screaming ‘Here we go again, motherfucker!’
- Duality (Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses, 2004) The moment you know’s coming every time you see Slipknot. They live and breathe live music; they’re stunning on record, but their madness can only be truly appreciated when you can see the whites of their eyes.
- Psychosocial (All Hope Is Gone, 2008) Fresh from the banger bakery, Psychosocial is another of those ‘moments’ in the Slipknot live experience: ‘The limits of the dead!’
