we bet they look good on the dance floor
well cheap monkeys this is I bet you
look good on the dance floor
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Arctic Monkeys songs for this list we’ve
chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most commercially successful
songs
number ten I bet you look good on the
dance floor
Ben’s first single from their debut is
also one of their most famous tracks
opening with a spiky guitar solo it
perfectly personifies the band’s early
sin
while describing the comings and goings
of club life and égalité flirting well
bet thought you it combines fast
rhythmic chord progressions and an
upbeat tempo that’s infectiously
catching these guys sure know how to
bang out a straight-up poppy hit number
nine are you mine
is this explosive 2012 single the Arctic
Monkeys arguably returned to the sound
fans were missing on previous albums are
you mine also gave admirers a taste of
what was to come on their fifth effort
why am I say
with Ross 70 style rock guitar and
frontman Alex Turner spitting out some
of his classic tongue-twisting lyrics
this single brought the band back to the
limelight and was accompanied by a
killer award-winning music videos
number eight do me a favor
do me a favor is a straight up song
about failed relationships and growing
up
but it also combines atmospheric
drumming from Matt Helders cool bass
lines from Nick O’Malley and some
distant echoing guitar all of which
creates a pallet for Turner to construct
yet another thought-provoking tale from
its narrative style beginning to its
explosive conclusion it’s a wonderful
showcase of how well the band members
play off each other
and how dramatically they can shift the
tone of a song
number seven do I want to know have you
got color
led by a spine showing riff that’s
eventually met by mantra esque chanting
this song manages to merge Turner’s
delicate lyrics with a head bouncing
beat
yet another single used to tease fans
before the release of the fifth record
do I want to know offers a variation of
the Arctic Monkeys styles acquired over
each of their albums
and ultimately displays how they’ve
matured as a band and as individuals
you
number six crying lightning
entering a new era of influence and
sound the Arctic Monkeys released crying
lightning as the first single off humbug
they all past times Jesus as an attempt
to explore new sonic possibilities under
producer Josh Homme II it’s quite
different from their previous material
but it’s highly psychedelic vibe and
Turner’s experimentation with conceptual
lyrics also injected the band with a new
sense of creativity and possibility
number five 505 going by
if it’s a sample
a 45-minute Drive you may fail to detect
the band’s hallmark sound when you first
hear the album closer to favorite worst
nightmare that’s because the organ intro
is taken from the good the bad and the
ugly
regardless 505 has become an encore
favorite and though the band’s sound was
still evolving this number is a great
showcase of their lyrical and
instrumental storytelling since it
becomes more layered and complex as it
goes on
number four dance little liar
another unforgettable tune from the
sonic experimentation that is humbug
dance little liar is leg by booming
drums and rather eerie backing guitar
with the band laying down a repetitive
beat Turner has a canvas to express
himself lyrically
even though the song structure is quite
linear it’s anxious guitar solo and
powerful drumming towards the end remind
us how any of their songs could go
anywhere at any time
number three cornerstone so what I’ll
show you in the battleship but it was
all
with its lovelorn story this
surprisingly upbeat sounding track also
comes from the Arctic Monkeys darker
album humbug huge and she only very
released as the disks second single
cornerstone features a groovy bass riff
and carefully plucked guitar
this gives the track a dreamier feel
that was almost completely absent from
the rest of the Bands third record it
also showcased a newfound confidence and
maturity in turner songwriting
you can call me anything you
number two fluorescent adolescent get in
your fishnet
ioanna geta in your nightdress this
track highlights the chemistry between
Turner and Helders as the essence of its
sound is found in the guitars bouncy
connection with the drums the best you
ever is just
while this and brian storm’ were both
hits a favorite worst nightmare
it’s fluorescent adolescent sketchy
sound and memorable lyrics that make our
list
also notable is it’s clown filled music
video which later inspired the band to
dress up as clowns during a live
performance
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
locale
go
number one a certain romance
this is the track from the band’s debut
to which many critics directed their
praise starting off upbeat and
thunderous the album closer mellows out
into a more melodic sound and is
accompanied by Turner’s masterfully
observational and detailed lyrics
with its up-and-down nature a certain
romance is a perfect example of how the
arctic monkeys can pull off multiple
sounds and create their very own
