Top 10 Best Angels & Airwaves Songs
Since launching in the mid-2000s, Angels & Airwaves has always aimed for the stars. Figuratively speaking of course, although judging by the lyrics, maybe also literally. There's something undeniably larger than life about their songs. They're hopeful but haunted, futuristic but deeply personal. Like a journal entry scribbled on a satellite. And yet, despite all the sci-fi vibes, the emotions are grounded. Longing. Connection. Escape. Redemption. Stuff that hits a little too close to home, even when it's dressed up in echoing guitars and interstellar keyboards.So now comes the hard part. With so many songs that feel like they should be projected on IMAX screens instead of played through your car stereo, how do you decide which ones stand above the rest? Go through the entries, think back to which ones hit you the hardest during a night drive or caught you off guard during one of those staring blankly at the ceiling moments, and give them a nudge up the ranks.
The beauty of this song, as is the case with many AVA songs, is that every different person is able to relate their life in some way to the song.
It helps great moments become perfect and reminds you when life isn't great that there is always hope. Love it!
When I heard the leak of this song, I knew this band would change my life. Definitely forever top 1.
I always remember a red summer sunset and warm weather at some festival. It's not quite dark, but the stars are apparent when I hear this song. It played over the festival speakers in summer '06. It was awesome.
Greatest song on earth! It's absolutely amazing, just like this band!
I don't know why everyone gets such a boner for The Adventure. I don't think it's very great! Not even CLOSE to as perfect as Surrender and many others by this perfect band! I will not surrender! LOVE.
This song has picked me up and gotten me through hard times. It makes me feel so empowered and happy.
The lyrics, especially the "I, I will not surrender" parts, are amazing. So is the music video. Arguably the best AVA song out there.
This song should be in place of The Adventure. The Adventure is not so catchy, but Surrender is an extremely wonderful song. This is their number 1 song, and there is no doubt about it.
This song starts out with interesting electronics and keyboarding. When the fuzzy transmission-like voice of Tom comes in, you start to get an idea of what kind of song it is.
And then... it explodes into power, sending you on a wonderful journey through creative, life-flowing verses, and an epic chorus. The most powerful I've ever heard.
Starting off with amazing electronics, this song feels like the complete experience. It's as if this song transcends the ordinary and escapes to something interstellar.
Sung with so much passion and emotion, the power in Tom's voice will send you twirling through a whole lot of emotions, culminating in the perfect ending. Number 1. No brainer.
This is one of those songs that you spend your time just enjoying the noises, then begin to decipher the meaning of the lyrics and find how deep a meaning it has.
Probably my favorite AVA song.
By far one of the most underrated AVA songs. This should definitely be in the top 5.
Listening to this song makes me feel like I am in a dream. I recommend this song to any new AVA fan.
This is clearly Angels' best song. The upbeat, uplifting guitar with amazing lyrics makes this song one to remember.

Top 5 song, easy! It's hard for me to put into words how great this song is. Hear this track... you know... hear it, feel it. This song put AVA into the next level of favorite all-time groups for me.
It makes me feel energetic and so natural when I listen to this song.
The last part, "Please stay, don't go, I've got you now... are you curious?" is the most energetic part of the song. Loved it.
This is an awesome song. The lyrics and the music mix and create an amazing experience. If you ever have a chance, listen to it.
This features one of the greatest guitar riffs ever created! Tom DeLonge is a genius!
The song is beautiful. It starts out a tad slow, but it continuously builds and builds until it reaches its amazing 30-second climax three minutes into the song.
This song sounds a lot like "Natives" from Blink-182's Neighborhoods.
Honestly, this song is perfect to me. Possibly my favorite song of all time.
I wasn't quite sure about it until Tom started singing, and then I fell in love with this song.

Hallucinations is an amazing song. It makes me feel lonely and happy at the same time.
Listening to this song makes me want to explode because it's too good to be true. I don't know. I can't explain it. This song is amazing, enough said.
How could this song not be the first? You all must be having hallucinations. The only people in their right minds here are those who voted for this one.

The Newcomers
The message behind this song is what makes the difference from most of the others. It has a very catchy and beautiful melody, too.

Completely amazed by this song! Gives me chills every time I hear it!
This song gives you hope and makes you believe you can do anything you want.
This song is literally the best AVA song!
Incredible from start to finish. You could argue this is their best song. I won't argue that much with you. I love this song!
This song is absolutely amazing! But then again, so is every AVA song, so it is impossible to put them in order!
This song has been in my top five most-played songs since it came out.
I crawl my way back in your head.
Alright, what the hell is wrong here? This is hands down one of the best Angels and Airwaves songs.
Why would it be at #22? It would've made sense if it was at least #4.
How is this 24th? This song is the reason I fell in love with AVA!
This song is my most favorite song in the world. I love the meaning behind it, and if this were to get more praise, I would be so grateful.
One of my favorite songs ever! Especially with Secret Crowds.
Amazing song! Top 10 easily. AVA has done it again!
The best for me, emotional and with a fantastic rhythm! Come on, guys, give it a chance.
The beat, along with Tom's poetic lyrics, makes this song truly amazing.
How can such a song be at such a low spot!?
"'Cause sometimes it comes with a shove
When you fall in love."
Badass lyrics. I think you guys are missing out on a great song. Plus, at the end of the song, you can hear Tom DeLonge's sister explain the true meaning and definition behind love.
Wait, why is this not number two? You guys are missing out on a great song!
This was the first song I heard from them. Please listen to it. The lyrics and the instrumentals combine to make this awesome song. Guys, I highly recommend this one.
Dudes, if you've ever felt the title, vote here.
Sounds like it could be from a follow-up to Blink's self-titled album.
One of AVA's more tightly written and least self-indulgent songs. What results is an honest, well-crafted, balanced, emotional song. Easily my favorite AVA song.
For me, this is by far the best AVA song. The intro leads you to an amazing chorus, and the song's lyrics keep crawling into you. Really brilliant.
