Top 10 Arctic Monkeys

CollegeTimes take a look at some of the best songs from Sheffield's finest.

10. Do I Wanna Know (AM, 2013)

The first glimpse of the new album comes in the form of this bass heavy epic number, which is hopefully a touch of what AM will offer.

 

9. Crying Lightning (Humbug, 2009)

Humbug boasted something entirely different to Favorite Worst Nightmare and Whatever people say..., turning over a new leaf and introducing a new generation of fans.

 

8. A Certain Romance (Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not, 2006)

This track conveys the social commentary based lyrics that Turner has become well known for, telling the story of a working class love tale.

 

7. Dance Little Liar (Humbug, 2009)

The lads opened their Humbug tour with this heavy track, with a much more mellow vocal to compliment the drowning riff. 

 

6. Do Me A Favour (Favorite Worst Nightmare, 2007)

 

With a simple bass riff and steady melody, Do Me A Favour takes its time before crashing into a mosh hit in the final verse of the song. A live gem.

 

5. Teddy Picker (Favorite Worst Nightmare, 2007)

Quirky lyrics and quick witty remarks made the band what they were initially and 'Teddy Picker' boasts some of their best lines to date.

 

4. R U Mine? (AM, 2012)

To feature on the forthcoming album, 'R U Mine' shows the influence from across the pond on the band. Touring with The Black Keys certainly rubbed off on Turner here.

 

3. I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefoor (whatever People Say, 2005)

The tune that launched the band's career. Fact - the video for 'I Bet You look good...' was recorded in one take, true professionals.

 

2. Fluorescent Adolescent (Favorite Worst Nightmare, 2007)

With all the hype that came with the debut album, it wouldn't have been a great surprise for the lads to suffer from their own success. However, they continued the pace and released this instant classic in Indie Rock.

 

1. Mardy Bum (Whatever People Say..., 2006)

When Arctic Monkeys first came on the scene, they, like many bands, played every festival across Europe in the summer and dominated them, too. 'Mardy Bum' was a fan favorite then and still is today. You won't find a fan who doesn't know every word of this feel good classic.
