The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tribute is an album in tribute to No Use for a Name frontman Tony Sly who died in July 2012. It was put together by Sly's friend Fat Mike who put the album out on his label, Fat Wreck Chords, with all profits from the album benefiting the Tony Sly Memorial Fund.[1] The album is made up of artists doing their own takes on No Use for a Name and Tony Sly songs.[2]

Erin Burkett explained that in putting the album together, they wanted "to show the diversity of his music" and therefore asked contributors to "change the tempo or the melody or the direction of the song. For example, if they were covering an acoustic song, we wanted them to punk it up a bit, and vice versa".[3] Joey Cape described the album as "a well- realized document of the depth and beauty in Tony’s catalog."[4]
