The song "Lesser Of Two Evils" is the ninth track on Dokken's 1995 reunion album, Dysfunctional. Released on Columbia Records, this album marked the return of the classic lineup and featured a sound that was a heavier, more modern take on their traditional Heavy Metal and Hard Rock style, incorporating a thicker, grungier guitar tone while still maintaining the band's trademark melodic sensibilities and vocal harmonies. The song itself was a collaborative composition, credited to the trio of Don Dokken on vocals, Jeff Pilson on bass, and George Lynch on guitar, with "Wild" Mick Brown on drums completing the classic band personnel. The track is an aggressive, mid-tempo rocker that clocks in at four minutes and three seconds, showcasing the powerful chemistry between Lynch’s distinct, heavy riffing and virtuoso solo work against the sturdy rhythm section provided by Pilson and Brown, all anchored by Don Dokken's vocal delivery. Thematically, the title suggests a narrative focusing on making difficult choices or grappling with unpleasant options, a lyrical concept that fits the slightly darker tone of the Dysfunctional album compared to the band's '80s output.
