beats back with another one rules block
rockin beat welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 Chemical Brothers 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 swoon
this particular album didn’t get a ton
of recognition compared to their earlier
work but this song was probably its most
successful one considering
a continuation of their trademark big
beat sound swoon peaked at number 85 in
the UK but still got good reviews from
critics and reached the top 20 on the UK
Dance Chart
whether you’re into the 3-minute radio
edit or the twice as long album version
it certainly got the chemical brothers
name written all over it
number nine star guitar
sampling david bowie can be risky but
this songs combination of a riff from
star man with trademark chemical
brothers drum machines works way too
well
star guitar did well commercially – at
least in the dance world it made it to
number two in the States and topped the
UK dance charts in 2002 standing out
with its electronica ambient house and
trip-hop vibes the come with us track
was also accompanied by a Michelle
called redirected music video
I’ll work it out buzz on work it out
number eight leave home this track from
their first album is an early example of
what we now know as The Chemical
Brothers signature sound featuring
Spacey synths intense drum rhythms and
spoken word vocal samples leave home was
a sign of things to come in every
release the brothers would give us after
it
with its big beat and electronic rock
sound the exit planet dust track has
also been used in movies and video game
soundtracks
number seven out of control
with collaborations from members of new
order and primal scream this is one of
the chemical brothers most techno
influenced songs as it features a fast
tempo and synths that sound like they
were pulled straight from the 80s
it’s accompanying music video also added
to the brothers love for high quality
productions using the backdrop of a fake
soft drink ad to showcase conflict
between the government and a
revolutionary group
number six electro bank
this track is dark frantic and full of
percussive rhythms
and the rapping by Keith Murray later on
only adds to its intensity but perhaps
even better than the song itself is its
music video found by Spike Jonze and
considered to be one of his finest short
films electro bank has Sofia Coppola
showing off her moves in a rhythmic
gymnastics competition
it was a top 20 smash on the UK Singles
Charts and can be enjoyed as a
four-minute radio edit or in its
original format as an eight-minute album
version
number five let forever be
one of two tunes on this list to feature
vocals from Noel Gallagher of Oasis Fame
let forever be has got a gondry directed
video that’s just as trippy and as good
as the song itself
with the drums resembling the Beatles
Tomorrow Never Knows this song is also
one of the Chemical Brothers most
successful in the States making the top
30 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks
chart
number four galvanized but you woke up
in the morning with initiative deluso la
vega backed by a moroccan string sample
and with rap verses from a tribe called
quest’s q-tip this track was the band’s
most successful one since 1999 in many
countries my finger is dull but my
finger is fun
it also got some attention in the States
winning a Grammy for Best Dance
Recording and being used in various
multimedia formats

Singles Chart and top the Spanish charts

be boy
number three hey boy hey girl

you’re in for a treat this song has
become a staple at festivals and clubs
around the world and it’s pretty easy to
see why

Scott and the dynamic 3s the roof is on
fire
plus it’s transy cents and massive drums
make hey boy hey girl
one of the biggest anthems of The
Chemical Brothers career it was also a
top-ten smash on the UK Singles Chart
Hey number two block rocking beats it’s
not often that mostly instrumental
tracks make it to number one on the
charts but this dig your own hole single
did just that in the UK block rockin
beats is just way too good not to make
it with a school Edie sample noisy sound
effects and chaotic drums this song
represents the big beat sound The
Chemical Brothers helped make famous
winning a Grammy for Best Rock
instrumental performance it also hit the
top 40 of the American Billboard Modern
Rock Tracks chart before we unveil our
top picks here are a few honorable
mentions
I
I
number one setting son
this is another song clearly inspired by
Tomorrow Never Knows which is a favorite
of both The Chemical Brothers &
Gallagher who guests on the track
as much as it might sound like the
Beatles during their revolver era
Setting Sun works so well because it
mixes influences from the past with the
brothers signature sound

chart-topping song in the UK and our
list
