A few years ago, mere weeks before the pandemic reared its ugly head and plunged the world into madness, we attempted to rank King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard‘s 50 best songs. As with all lists, it was a tough one to put together, however even tougher when it concerned a band as prolific as King Gizzard. Now, three and a half years later, we’re going back to the drawing board and attempting this top list one more time, from scratch and with 75 songs instead of 50. A lot has changed since January 2020, most notably the addition of nine albums to their repertoire, and the departure of second drummer Eric Moore. No one list will ever be the definitive one, but please sit back, relax and enjoy as we try to rank King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s top seventy five creations.
