Top 10 Best Billy Talent Songs

1. Fallen Leaves

   

   It's a good song. WAY better than the others. Sure, I like Red Flag and all those other songs. Like Devil on My Shoulder. But this deserves better.

   But one thing always comes in the songs: they barely have any verses. They just have the title in it and that's it. And some of the songs I just don't get.

   Like the whole album, this is my favorite song. Epic music video also! This song is the best!

   The song is simply amazing. The energy and riffs make me shiver, and Ben's voice is gorgeous.

2. Red Flag

   

   One of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever there's a feud in my school about which is better: Billy Talent or Green Day, here are the favorite songs of both bands by my friends.

   Green Day: 21 Guns

   Billy Talent: RED FLAG!

   It's a really enjoyable song.

   Amazing rebellion song! It should be number two, with Viking Death March at number one. Still, it's got that crazy, energetic punch to it.

   The best. Hands down. Their talent does nothing but shine in this masterpiece.

3. Viking Death March

   

   Seriously a great addition to the new album, a great first single for Dead Silence that totally lets you realize that Billy Talent has gotten back to really strong music. Billy Talent I was great, don't get me wrong, but it has a different feel to it than the other albums, and Dead Silence, while it has a fresh sound, is more similar to the older stuff. Viking Death March is the first of some really strong examples of this.

   This song is amazing and deserves to be in the top ten as soon as possible. I can honestly not get enough of this song. This song tells me when their new album is released, it will be phenomenal. Billy Talent is going to make the Leeds festival so unforgettable.

4. Try Honesty

   

   This is their best song, apart from Devil in a Midnight Mass. I agree with the comment below, this song always pumps me up. But I can't believe that St. Veronica is below Rusted from the Rain. Rusted from the Rain is a mainstream song that frankly isn't that good.

   This song always gets me pumped up. It epitomizes why I love Billy Talent. It's some of their early and best work. Great tune.

   This song is a mix of calm and furious feelings, and it does it so well. This song makes me dream every time I listen to it.

5. Devil in a Midnight Mass

   

   The meaning of the song makes it even more awesome! It does not attack Christianity as some believe. It tells the story of a priest who molested over 100 kids.

   Decent song. Not sure why it's not added to the list.

6. Rusted from the Rain

   

   I'm not a big fan of Billy Talent, but this song is awesome. The voice is amazing, the lyrics are excellent, and the guitar is just perfect! I don't understand why this song is not number one. Maybe only because it's too commercial for real Billy Talent fans. Maybe!

   Really good song. I stumble through the wreckage rusted from the rain! There's nothing left to salvage, no one left to blame. Among the broken mirrors, I don't look the same.

   I love this song! Actually, the guitar solo is my ringtone, and it rang one day in math, and people were like, AWESOME RINGTONE!

7. Surrender

   

   Surrender is easily my favorite song from Billy Talent. Just like a lot of the songs on Billy Talent II, they manage to keep them upbeat, interesting, and meaningful. The emotion in the song, the meaning, and lyrics in this song truly show what Billy Talent is capable of.

   How is this not number 1? This and White Sparrows are my two favorite songs, and they just barely cracked the top ten. Both these songs never seem to get old. Definitely should be #1.

   The dynamics in this song are incredible - it has so much versatility! Kowalewicz's voice is really on show here, and it rages and soars throughout this truthful track. I love it. Number 1 for sure.

8. This is How It Goes

   

   The first song from their first album, and from here on they never looked back. This kind of upbeat music is what makes Billy Talent the band they are today. From the vicious and emotional chorus to the harmonic tones of the bridge, This Is How It Goes truly takes control whether you like it or not.

   Such a powerful song! I love it. The lyrics are awesome... "You can steal my body, but you can't steal my soul." Amazing! Great song live! You can just scream out all your feelings when you're listening to this song! Should be higher on this list!

9. River Below

   

   My cell phone ringer song! Whenever I hear it, I think of their sweet concerts and handsome Benjamin!

10. White Sparrows

    

    I don't think you can even classify this as a song. It's an experience. The pure emotion throughout and the chilling lyrics make this easily my favorite song from them. This is Billy Talent's Bohemian Rhapsody, The Wall, Stairway to Heaven, insert revolutionary rock song here.

    The raw emotion in this song is absolutely chilling. It might not be as popular as some of their other songs, but give it a listen, and you will see why it is one of their best.

    This song is amazing, and I believe it should make its way to the top 5. Download and check it out.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Half Past Dead

    For some reason, they decided to put one of the best songs from Afraid of Heights as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the album. It definitely deserves a higher rank than 68th!

12. ?

    Forgiveness I + II

    
The Contenders

13. Nothing to Lose

    

    There is no way that this shouldn't be in the top 10. It's got everything that makes music great: meaningful lyrics (which tell a great story), nice instrumentals, and a lot of emotion. I LOVE IT!

    This is obviously the best song. It has a good message. The chorus beats any other on this list, except for maybe the one in Fallen Leaves.

    This song is emotional. Very sad, but you can calm down with this song. Love it.

14. Diamond on a Landmine

    

    I simply love this song! It's so unique. Naturally, the subject he's talking about is a sad and painful one. Yet, the way he sings it is in complete contrast with its vivid and dynamic rhythm. Because of that, it's like he's trying to get over it.

    Nevermind how much time I listen to this song, it is still as amazing as the first time I heard it. So much better than Red Flag.

    Such a good song! Lyrics are meaningful and it still kicks ass!

15. Devil on My Shoulder

    

    By far, one of the most epic guitar riffs I've ever heard in my life. This song's got everything: cool lyrics, heavy guitar riffs, a great solo, and much energy. Unlike the songs from but I & but II, it doesn't need Ben's screaming to be considered energetic. It's a pity that it couldn't make it to the top ten! One of the first songs I've heard from them and it still sends shivers up and down my spine whenever I hear it. It's Ian D'Sa's favorite but-Song and the only one with an own epic live-solo so far! A great example of modern hard rock.

    I cannot believe this isn't higher on the list. Billy Talent is my favorite band, and this is by far one of their best songs. It has a good Led Zeppelin sort of sound, especially when they play it live with the extended solo.

16. This Suffering

    

    This Suffering, Prisoners of Today, and Hanging By a Thread, hands down my top 3. Saint Veronika and Surprise Surprise probably complete the top 5. Red Flag is an awesome track to get you hooked on the band, but there's so much more to them!

    Best song by Billy Talent! Unfair not to be in the top five even! Vote please, all Billy Talent lovers! Listen to the song more.

    So underrated. Definitely my favorite Billy Talent song. Gives me goosebumps every time.

17. Saint Veronika

    

    I can't believe this is not in the top ten. When I think Billy Talent, I think Saint Veronika, Try Honestly, and Rusted From the Rain. Such a great song! Please vote up, people!

    Why is this not in the top 3? Honestly, this song has so much meaning, and I just can't fault it. Also, the bridge after the second chorus is just orgasmic.

    Jesus H. Christ on a bike! Why the bloody hell is this not in the top ten? Hell, why isn't it number one? This song is Billy Talent's best song.

18. Pins and Needles

    

    This song is wicked pure perfection. Catchy, emotional, amazing lyrics, amazing musicianship. Brilliant, really. I knew this song a long time ago, and I recently discovered it's a Billy Talent song. Perfect. Just perfect.

    Been my favorite Billy Talent song since I first heard it. It's a classic in my book, and even after listening to it about 600 times, I just can't get enough of it. Thank you, Billy Talent, for this one song!

    Honestly, this is a pretty deep cut, but God is it amazing. It's one of their most underrated songs. It's an absolute emotional rollercoaster.

19. Line & Sinker

    

    This song was my favorite because of the movie Grind. This song is a pump-up when me and my friends are about to skate down stair sets.

    No. 15? This should be in the top ten at the least. Badass song! It was the first one I also ever heard by Billy Talent on the movie Grind!

20. The Dead Can't Testify

    

    It's actually pretty creepy how easy it is to immerse yourself in the storyline told in this song. Everything fits together. One could simply call it a prime example of Billy Talent's songwriting abilities!

    As far as I am concerned, I would always put it in first place among my favorite Billy Talent songs!

    Amazing song! It has a creepy feel to it: dark, moody, mellow, intense, and it tells an interesting, very emotional story. One of the most powerful songs!

    AWESOME song! Can't understand how it is so underrated. One of the best songs by Billy Talent, worth a listen!

21. Stand Up and Run

    

    It's a different type of song, but it's awesome. The title is so badass, too: "Stand Up and Run."

22. The Ex

    

    I'm not a big fan of Billy Talent, but this song is awesome. Nice guitar intro and meaningful lyrics.

    This is the first Billy Talent song that has ever caught my attention. I can't believe that it's not one of the top ten.

    Just voting for this because it is WAY too low. This is an amazing song and the true Billy Talent.

23. The Navy Song

    

    In my opinion, this song showcases some of Ben's best vocal work out of any other Billy Talent song. With a catchy riff and an intense, emotional feel, it should certainly be at least in the top 10.

    Honestly, this is their best song. It should be top 5 for sure. It's still one of my favorite songs today.

    How is this not in the top ten? One of the best songs I've ever heard! VOTE!

24. Turn Your Back

    

    Dang good song by Billy Talent! I first heard this song on an NHL video game and I've been hooked ever since!

25. Voices of Violence

    

    This song is so powerful and just kicks your ass. It has a very fun guitar riff to play as well.

26. Worker Bees

    

    Simply the best of Billy Talent. You know I'm a big fan and just know all of their songs (simply all), and this is their best and probably most underrated song. Also, Coward in Cowardice is great and unknown too.

    The melody blows me away. This is the best song by Billy Talent! It's unfair that it's not even in the top 5. Please vote, all Billy Talent lovers! Listen to the song more.

    Simply their best song, absolutely underrated. Screamings, refrain, bassline, melody... Everything is just awesome! How can this song not be in the top ten?

27. Prisoners of Today

    

    I feel really strange about Billy Talent. My favorites are "Prisoners of Today," "St. Veronika," "Voices of Violence," "Line and Sinker," etc. Many people just listen to "Fallen Leaves" and "Red Flag" and say that every other song "is the same." Well, not to me!

    Another weird thing: I prefer the live songs from 666 to the studio versions, which I don't understand to this day. What I do understand is how awesome Billy Talent is!

    Truly amazing song. I'm very surprised to not see it in the top 10. If you really want to know a good band, then stop just listening to the singles and listen to the full albums a few times. Eventually, you will understand why they chose to put those songs on the album.
