'''''Force Fed''''' is the debut album by the American band [[Prong (band)|Prong]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Righi |first1=Len |title=NYC's Prong Begs to Differ with Heavy Metal Tradition |work=The Morning Call |date=July 13, 1990 |page=D1}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Kot |first1=Greg |title=Prong's songs: From start to finish, this is not your typical heavy metal band |work=Chicago Tribune |date=26 July 1990 |department=Tempo |page=8}}</ref> The album was recorded in 1987 and originally released in 1988. Drummer [[Ted Parsons]] co-wrote some of the songs for the first time.

The song "Bought and Sold" was not included on the original vinyl release, and is omitted from some CD versions of the album, including the reissue. Instead, these versions include two bonus tracks, the cover of [[Chrome (band)|Chrome]]'s "Third from the Sun" and "Mind the Gap", originally taken from Prong's 1989 EP ''Third from the Sun'' (also known as ''3''). Although the EP is no longer available, Prong still regularly performs "Third from the Sun".
