The Figgs have always been prolific songwriters. Their creations have always outpaced official releases. Even with the inclusion of solo work and side bands, there is still a vast amount of material that has yet to be released.
All four members are giant music fans as well. The amount of songs covered by the band over the years is astounding. The two lists below are meant to be an ongoing collection. They will probably never be complete but it's a fun little distraction for myself and hopefully others.
