3* The incredible comeback of ''Play'', and how he went from being the laughing stock of his genre to the highest seller.
4* Holds a Guinness World Record for Fastest Recorded Song (as in, highest BPM) with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA60u0sYZrY "Thousand"]]. Guess how fast it gets at its peak.
5--> ''"OOH [[IncrediblyLongNote YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]].."''
6* To this day, Moby occasionally performs in a shirt that says "Nobody Listens To Techno," after Music/{{Eminem}}'s diss on "Without Me". Speaking of which, the way Moby consistently kept a good sense of humor and dignity during their "beef" was kind of awesome in itself.

10* From the first album "Moby" is "Go".
11** There's also "Drop A Beat" and "Next Is The E".
12* If you enjoy ambient music a lot, his second album, aptly titled "Ambient", is just for you.
13* Other rave tracks by him can fall under here such as "Mobility", "Drug Fits The Face", "Thousand", "Move" and "Permanent Green".
14* From the third album "Everything Is Wrong" is "Hymn"
15** There's also "Feeling So Real", "Everytime You Touch Me", and "Into The Blue".
16** Special mention to "First Cool Hive" and "Bring Back My Happiness".
17* Say what you want about the fourth album "Animal Rights", but you have to agree his take on the James Bond theme was amazing.
18** There's also "That's When I Reach For My Revolver".
19** "Come On Baby" is also kinda nice.
20* Onward to the fifth album "Play". Just listen to "Machete". Nuff said.
21** "Rushing" and "Porcelain", too.
22** "Honey" is certainty both catchy and cool.
23** Then there's tracks like "Find My Baby", "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?", "Natural Blues", "Run On", and "If Things Were Perfect".
24** If you want some badass music from him, check out "Bodyrock". You're welcome.
25** Also "The Sky Is Broken" and "My Weakness".
26** And if you want some from "Play: B-Sides", we have "Flower", "Memory Gospel", "Sunday", and "Running".
27* "We Are All Made of Stars", off of the sixth album ''18''. Especially the chorus.
28** What about "Extreme Ways"?
29** There's also "In This World", "In My Heart", and "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)".
30** "Jam For The Ladies".
31** "One Of These Mornings", "Another Woman", "I'm Not Worried At All". There's enough here to make it a nice sequel to "Play".
32** Not that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBB2bPwKWVg "Extreme Ways"]] isn't a great song on its own. But then he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXtuVCgtDSY rerecorded it]] for ''[[Film/TheBourneSeries The Bourne Ultimatum]].''
33** And then came ''[[Film/JasonBourne Jason Bourne's]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftm1hiXgYsA rerecording]], which somehow manages to take the best aspects of every version of the song, combine them all, then breathe some fresh life into it with a ''sick'' electric guitar riff.
34* Opinions on the seventh album ''Hotel,'' Moby's flirtation with mainstream rock and pop, are divided, but if you get the double-disc version, disc two, titled ''Hotel: Ambient'' is devoted to a smooth collection of his dabblings in ambient techno. [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel It's breathtaking.]]
35** If you want actual songs off of "Hotel", you have things like "Raining Again", "Dream About Me", and "Spiders".
36* Album eight, "Last Night", has "Disco Lies".
37** Same can be said or "Alice" and "I Love To Move In Here".
38* Album nine, "Wait For Me". First of all, "Shot In The Back Of The Head" and its David Lynch directed video.
39** "Mistake" is this in a gloomy way.
40** Little Idiot making a comeback, though as an alien.
41* "The Perfect Life", off of "Innocents".
