Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece "The Phantom of the Opera" is one of the most iconic musicals of the century. Everyone remembers their first time watching this mind-blowing musical. The acting, the effects, the visuals and most importantly, the music are all perfect in every sense.

"Phantom" is one of those musicals where every song is wonderful and loved by many. It was hard making this list since I love them all dearly. I wish I could rank some of the songs to be in the same spot, but here are the eight main songs from Phantom of the Opera ranked from "worst" to the best.

9. Prima Donna


I was never a fan of Andre and Firmin assuaging Carlotta's need for attention. Despite the harmony they all have, this song can get old and boring after the first minute or two.


8. Masquerade


This song feels whimsical, and the visuals add a magical touch to it. Everyone loves to dream of dancing in a masquerade ball, and this song helps you live in one.


7. All I Ask Of You


"All I Ask Of You" is a sweet promise that Raoul and Christine make to each other. The melody and lyrics are adorable and pure enough to make you dreamily sigh every time.


6. Think Of Me


This song has a memorable melody that you will find yourself humming randomly throughout the day. Also, can we mention the ending? Christine gives such a grand and impressive finale!


5. Angel of Music

This song is probably the most overplayed melody in "Phantom" and honestly, I am okay with that. It is remarkably simple but catchy. I especially love the Phantom's version of "Angel of Music" called "The Mirror."


4. Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again


"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" is a sad but beautiful song that Christine sings while mourning her father. The harp during the chorus adds a gentle and longing touch to this song's sad message.


3. The Phantom of the Opera


The main theme song is filled with suspense and power, and it has the best scene in the whole movie where the Phantom sails away with Christine on the gondola. The end of the song also has an extremely piercing high note that will resonate in your ear for about a couple weeks.

2. The Point of No Return


This song is filled with tension between the Phantom and Christine. The harmony and melody are dramatic and will leave you on the edge of your seat before Christine takes off the Phantom's mask.


1. The Music of the Night


"The Music Of The Night" is arguably the best song in the entire musical. It is calm and beautiful, while being full of mysterious romance. If you watch the musical along with it, you can see the Phantom's candle lit cave, which adds to the night-timey feel.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
