Top 10 Best Bob Seger Songs

1. Night Moves

   

   I love this song. The only thing wrong is I can't really play it acoustically because the girls singing background are such an important part of the song. Also, like most Seger songs, it's hard to sing. Just another testament to what a talent Bob Seger is.

   Ahhh, the memories... This song was my anthem when I was 18. After dropping my girlfriend off and heading home in my black Trans Am, I can still feel that cool wind blowing with the T-tops off and Night Moves playing on the stereo. Damn...

   The first three chords always make me smile when this song comes on the radio. Pure nostalgia. Easily Seger's best song, not that all the others aren't good either.

2. Turn the Page

   

   Wow, did not expect to see this song at 2nd place. It's his most famous song and also my favorite Bob Seger song. Love the line, "all the same old clichés, 'is that a woman or a man'," referencing how the long hair of rockstars was disapproved by folks in Midwestern diners.

   "Turn the Page" is also my favorite song about touring and life "on the road again." The song has great saxophone as well as great lyrics, and it's even better live. This needs to be #1.

   Not only did Metallica cover this song, but so did Waylon Jennings. What that means is that hard rockers, mainstream rockers, and even country fans relate to this song. I play guitar at a few restaurants in the Minneapolis area, and this song goes over well with all ages.

3. Old Time Rock and Roll

   

   I love this song. When I think of Bob Seger, this song is what immediately pops into my head. Old Time Rock and Roll is my favorite song by Bob Seger. A nickname for him is Bob, you know, since his name is Robert.

   Sincerely, I feel as if every person, young or old, should know this song by Bob Seger, my absolute favorite oldies artist.

   This is my favorite rock song ever. Amazing lyrics and good beats!

   This song always makes me feel so good.

4. Main Street

   

   Should be #1. I know Turn the Page is compelling, but come on, who hasn't thought his thoughts in this song?

   I remember standing on the corner at midnight trying to get my courage up... Best hooker song ever. Haha.

   The riff is too good, and so are the lyrics.

5. Against the Wind

   

   Each time I hear a song on the radio like Nicki Minaj's or Justin Bieber's, I feel an urgent need to clean my ears out with some REAL music! This song is the epitome of REAL music, with meaningful, beautiful lyrics, amazing music featuring guitar and piano, and a great voice.

   Every time I hear this song, it brings me right back to my mid-teens. As with almost all of Bob's songs, the lyrics are so real. I agree with another post: "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." It doesn't get any better or any more real than that.

6. Hollywood Nights

   

   Best song for cruising down the highway!

7. We've Got Tonight

   

   The '70s were great times with high expectations. Listening now brings back glimpses of the excitement of growing up, even after the thrill is gone.

8. Like A Rock

   

   This is probably one of the top 10 songs ever made. But you have to be older than 35 and understand the lyrics to fully appreciate it. Listen to it again and you will agree that this is the number one.

   Being the same age as Bob, I can relate to every word in this song. It really puts your life in order, showing how fast it goes by. To me, this is his biggest hit. However, I love every song he has ever sung.

   This is #1? For me, you gotta love the solos. Great tune.

9. Still the Same

   

   Way too many great Bob songs, but this is my favorite. Not all stories have a happy ending, and this song is indicative of that.

   There is a kid in Phoenix who does an amazing cover! I actually like his cover better than the original, but I will take good ol' Bob's anytime.

   One of my all-time favorites. It reminds me of being a kid in the '70s. So much feeling behind the lyrics.

10. Understanding

13. You'll Accomp'ny Me

    

    This was my first wife's and my song before we were married. Great song.

14. Famous Final Scene

    

    This song is literally my favorite of all time, and I ain't bragging. Just can't believe it's frigging no.18. It's so soothing and spiritually uplifting. Just listen to this song and see the lyrics, and tell me if you don't fall in love with this song.

    My class song in 1981. Should be higher. Great song.

15. Roll Me Away

    

    Such a hard choice between so many awesome songs. It could easily be "Turn the Page," "Like a Rock," "Against the Wind," "You'll Accomp'ny Me," or many others. For me, I like the freedom of "Roll Me Away."

16. Beautiful Loser

    

17. The Fire Inside

    

    The lyrics and emotion in his voice are almost unparalleled. Haunting, real, and so intense. Just let this song burn you up. We all need this reminder.

    The lyrics give me chills. Incredibly vivid and masterful songwriting.

    So many good Bob Seger songs. This one, Main Street, and Hollywood Nights are all classics.

18. Til It Shines

    

    Love this song. But can't find it in Beats Music or iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks.

19. Rock and Roll Never Forgets

    

    No Seger song defines the beat and timelessness of rock and roll better than this track off the "Night Moves" album.

    Always liked it. Never really loved this one, but still a good song.

20. Katmandu

    

    Ahh...love this! This is playing on my favorite radio station (Planet Rock) as I type this. Date: 28/06/17 Time: 23:50. I'm creating a memory right now!

21. Rambin Gamblin Man

22. Fire Lake

    

    Something about this song will always be in my heart. It is my favorite Seger song, and from the lyrics to the subtle instruments, it could be one of my top 10 songs ever.

    Great song and story. Sad but intriguing.

23. Trying to Live My Life Without You

    

    It was a cover, but what a cover! It fits Bob so well.

24. Her Strut

    

    Classic Seger! There isn't a bad Seger song, is there? I've heard a lot of karaoke singers, but no one has ever been able to capture that Seger voice.

25. Feel Like a Number

    

26. Shame On the Moon

    

27. Travelin' Man

    

    The Live Bullet version is my favorite song. It even took over Turn the Page.

    It's like how Led Zeppelin's Over the Hills and Far Away is overcoming Stairway to Heaven. His best-sung song and opens up very well. Silver Bullet Band!

    Not taking anything away from Bob, but it was just great to see a guy put in 15 good years and then find the rest of the pieces. He did just that!
