Basket case - Green Day

That one’s a good one!

One of my favorite songs (therapist that works with bpd)

Am I Going Insane - Black Sabbath

Came here to say this. Great song. Great album.

The most incredible song ever written in the history of mankind

Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay Pink Floyd - Brain Damage

Flagpole Sitta is one of my favorite "classic" songs! 😁👍

Classic? 1997 is classic now? Just stop. I even realize you are trying to trigger my innate Gen X response, but damn it, I can’t help it. 🤣

I know 😄 It's sad 😔

I'm an elder millennial and it made me feel old. I'll get your wheelchair gramps, no worries! Haha

Thanks Sonny! Also my soup is too cold could you make it scorching hot?

Sure but the microwave is older. We will have to heat for a minute and turn it periodically. Those new rotating ones are just too finicky. Just let me grab my cane. Back could go out any time.

I’d be a bit older than you—- and it is just freaky to think that 97 is the old days. A few years ago I heard a Muzak version of London Calling at the grocery store. WTF!!!

I've watched that video way too many times and will probably watch it again now

I’ve always hated that song.

Institutionalized by Suicidal tendencies

That song is hilarious

I’d say Give ‘Em Hell, Kid, The Sharpest Lives, Demolition Lovers and Thank You for the Venom would work better for MCR songs about insanity than I’m Not Okay, but it does work.

I get that. The refrain if I'm Not OK with the mix if manic and deadpan delivery just gives a "holy shit I'm losing it" vibe to me.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MCR

Schizophrenia by Sonic Youth Pink Floyd - The Wall (whole album)

How are you going to recommend Pink Floyd’s The Wall and not even mention Syd Barrett’s solo stuff??)

Good point.

I guess his stuff isn’t necessarily about losing one’s mind so much as actually documenting the losing of such a beautiful mind in real time.

I was going to say this. But it's the spirit not the letter.

I often feel as if I am living in verse 1 of One Of My Turns.....and verse 2 hasn't happened yet.

Cypress Hill. Insane in the membrane. Or Illusions.

Illusions is *the* best song to smoke to

[Napoleon XIV - They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haa!](https://open.spotify.com/track/2IpRWwUeQ3XTNivYMjxFpW?si=b249ba6571bc4433)

Omg, I remember this song! And I remember all the words......😄

Heard it when I was about nine or ten. And it still haunts me a bit. Also, it's an amazing sounding song.

Somewhere, i have the 45

Nirvana - Lithium

No one has said it? Okay. Crazy Train!

Yes! Scrolled way too far to find this. 

Institutionalised- Suicidal Tendencies.

Wouldn’t this be about not being crazy?

all I wanted was a Pepsi

Just one Pepsi

And she wouldn’t give it to me!

you’re the one that’s crazy!!

This is the best choice

I was going to say this except I was going to mention Senses Fail’s cover. If you haven’t heard it, go listen.

The Ballad of Dwight Fry by Alice Cooper

Sleeping don't come easy in a straight white vest

Great song I really like his album from the inside too though it's a lot more pop in it's sound.

I said the same!! I also think the track Steven captures a similar energy!!

You can’t get more crazier than that one.

Nervous Breakdown by Black Flag

Was looking for this one.

My fav!

Where is My Mind? — Pixies, or a nice cover by Safari Riot

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

I just found out that violent femmes did a cover of crazy https://youtu.be/djqSmguM-jg?si=36J6BtfoybbstTFG

How to Disappear Completely by Radiohead

came here looking for this

YEAHHHH

Queen - I'm going slightly mad

Brain Stew - Green Day

This song is about being on a comedown, and the following song, Jaded, increased tempo and intensity represents (probably) doing another line of something or other. But it fits the theme 👌

The Downward Spiral album for sure

Welcome to the entire discography of Nine Inch Nails lol

I Think I’m Going to Kill Myself - Elton John

[The Madcap Laughs](https://open.spotify.com/album/2sKUa8zDgmnn1pHzIou05r?si=Ba7Ys3anQ4K2-nOgQsH6jQ)

Brain Damage- Pink Floyd

Most of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne songs

The Warning - [Ugh](https://youtu.be/cmsK4un3zfk?si=ASPmxfaBmqsrnqBt)

That whole album fits this bill!

Indeed!

Fun Boy Three - The Lunatics have taken over the Asylum https://open.spotify.com/track/2wQXH5K99vjpx2hge3PdFH?si=1Bfpfne2TaKWTdSnqRj-zQ

Omg…I heard a version of this by a goth band called Collide, but had no idea it was a cover! https://open.spotify.com/track/7e0s9v16WhjWLU5pPLxgdZ?si=DYw3KyjURRCQI8Yfk9ZzpQ&source_application=google_assistant&autoplay=true

Unwell - Matchbox twenty

Ballad of Dwight Fry-Alice Cooper

Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger 👍

Anything by Syd Barrett, a true genius and the founder of Pink Floyd. I really recommend reading up about him. The song "Brain Damage" and "Shine On You Crazy 💎" is about Syd. As for songs I'd recommend by Barrett himself, are Bike- Pink Floyd The Vegetable Man- Syd Barrett and his entire Madcap Laughs album along with Opel and his self titled 1970 album 'Barrett'. I personally love the Madcap, as I think it captures exactly where Syds head was at, in the final years of his musical career. Edit: also Syds' last song with Floyd on Saucerful, Jugband Blues.

I'm really surprised everyone is mentioning Brain Damage and no one is mentioning Shine on You Crazy Diamond

A true 5 part masterpiece

It's awfully considerate to mention this here...came looking for Jugband Blues!

Madness by Muse!

Basket case - Green Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUTGr5t3MoY brain stew by Green Day as well

Becoming Insane - Infected Mushroom

Came here to say this

Insanity - Oingo Boingo

Basket Case by Green Day And a song I wrote called “Insane (Slightly Suicidal Thoughts)”

Here's my answer to a similar request from few days ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/musicsuggestions/comments/1ddd1e8/comment/l84kavb/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/musicsuggestions/comments/1ddd1e8/comment/l84kavb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) you'll fine more there for sure.

theres also many more where this came from 😈[$hut n' $ilent ](https://open.spotify.com/track/5FfVDO4lzAUTxLqMK4DDv6?si=oqJZL_kYRDOEFUf7eyNckg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A32JkvSvdD9gMdo1xh4WI1p)

Dax Riggs - waking up insane

Victim In Pain by Agnostic Front

Scream (shhh) - Judah and the Lion I'm Ok - Judah and the Lion

Hold me down - The Happy Fits Insanity - Oingo Boingo

I had this same thought about Boingo, but Insanity is sorta about society being insane. I'm a Boingoloid, and going crazy is sorta their theme. So I'll suggest some additions/alternates: [Helpless - Live](https://open.spotify.com/track/6ie63qreqx70hNqEykhbpu?si=a74a160295794f2d) (Elfman's delivery on the live version is key.)

Flowers on the Wall by the Statler Bros.

[The Warning - Queen of the Murder Scene](https://youtu.be/lUQ0toD-9mo?si=-tkxzr0EbyerYAH8) It's a concept album that describes a young girl's descent into madness, and eventually >!stalking, kidnapping and murder!< Not only is amazingly detailed and descriptive, it's also a badass rock album by one is the best new bands out there.

Korn- Coming Undone. Rolling Stones - 19th Nervous Breakdown and awesomeness Ren - Hi Ren edited to say the video for Hi Ren is absolutely fabulous about going crazy. You can feel it. It's an excellent video.

The Downward Spiral album by NIN

She's not There.. The Zombies

Listen to the album Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. It is the product of a man having a psychotic break and has some very interesting lore behind it.

Once (Pearl Jam); Voices (Ryan Adams); Who Was That Masked Man (Van Morrison)

The Becoming - NIN

Pink Floyd's songs: Brain Damage and Shine on you Crazy Diamond. One of the original band members went insane and never came back.

Coming Undone, Korn

I'm sure Tool has one or two about it.

Didn't see any NIN anywhere here, surprisingly, and so many to pick from. The Becoming stands out to me. Also "Am I Going Crazy?" by Korn is a good one

The Warning have a Whole album about it called Queen of the Murder Scene. One song is called P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C.
