Type O Negative was a Gothic/doom metal band that formed in Brooklyn, New York. They have 7 studio albums, some of which include Bloody Kisses (my personal fav!) and October Rust. They’ve released 93 songs altogether across their 7 albums. Out of all the songs, however, I believe that their best song is “I Don’t Wanna Be Me”. 

Their song “I Don’t Wanna Be Me” is on their 6th album: Life is Killing Me. The album was released on June 17, 2003 and was #39 on the Billboard 200 Chart. It’s the second song on the album and is 5:09 minutes long. 

I personally think that this is their best song because there’s a deeper meaning behind it. Peter Steele, the band’s lead singer, wrote this song because he was struggling with his mental health. He was tired of his addictions, fame, interviews, and overall being a rock star.  

Also, “I Don’t Wanna Be Me” is their most famous song. It has 93 million listens on Spotify and 14 million views on YouTube. There was also a trend on TikTok featuring the famous guitar solo. The song blew up after this trend and led to Type O Negative to gain some more popularity.

In most instances, a band’s most popular song is their best song, and I believe this is an example of one of them. The overall composition of the song sounds really cool and I suggest you guys  listen to the whole album! I’m also a Type O Negative fan myself, and I’d recommend “Can’t Lose You” and “Die With Me” ( ´ཀ` ). Happy listening!
