43. Mike Patton – “Corpse Flower”

You know those Faith No More tracks where Mike Patton would come across like some demented crooner on stage at a post-apocalyptic lounge bar from a dystopian future. Well he has made a whole album of them. He has also drafted in cult French Composer Jean-Claude Vannier to create the lush but slightly distorted backing tracks which frame his insane ramblings. This is easy listening for the toxic generation.
