List of songs recorded by Faith No More

 * Nominator(s): GRAPPLE   X  21:45, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list for the usual reasons. Although modelled on List of songs recorded by Chrisye, a Featured List, I've dispensed with the alphabetical TOC since this one is sorted chronologically. The sort function will allow for alphabetical sorting; but if the table format of the Chrisye list is preferred I'm willing to take the time to switch this over.

For those who'd like a little background, Faith No More are a band of dubious genre, who released several critically-appreciated albums between the mid-80s and mid-90s. The Real Thing yielded a degree of commercial success, which the band responded to by increasingly distancing themselves from that album's style. Unlike some of the other lists in this format, I've not listed it as incomplete as I believe it is wholly comprehensive. The only song not listed here is one that's been doing the rounds on the band's recent live dates, which has yet to be recorded on any actual release (though there are scores of Youtube bootlegs). So if you're keen on flicking through a list of songs about licking toilets, stock market crashes, meeting transvestites at bossa nova concerts or instrumental tributes to Woody Woodpecker cartoons, I eagerly await your comments.

 * Personally I'd disagree with the comment that "already-written" doesn't need a hypen – the first thing I thought when I read the sentence as it is now is that it was missing one. Would be interested to hear third opinion though. A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 15:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that a hyphen would be helpful, and will add that the last sentence of the second paragraph has a semi-colon instead of a comma, which would be better there. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 19:06, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Got them both. Thanks. GRAPPLE   X  19:52, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Good catch; missed those three with ctrl+F as they were linked. Added "in" to Bottum's picture, and stuck in images of Burt Bacharach and Lionel Richie to replace the removed images. I also took out the "Jim" from Martin's writing credits as he was the only one to have his full first name (the Gibbs get initials to avoid the confusion of three "Gibb"s pointing different directions).

 * Yep, those images seem far more appropriate for this list. Just had another look over the article, and there are no other major issues that I can see, so I support this nomination. Great work! A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 21:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
