Best Collective Soul Songs

Shine is an amazing song! It is post-grunge and alternative at its best. The World I Know would be my second vote. That is also an amazing song, but this one just beats it!

Shine is one of the best songs ever made. This is Collective Soul at its best.

In my opinion, it is by far the greatest song they have produced.

I'm a real stickler as far as music goes, but this is considerably the best song I have ever heard.

Great, really catchy song. Really deep and artistic. I can't understand it, but it is really cool. The beat is sweet.

The riff is so smooth. Dreamy and relaxing. The buildup in this song is unreal as well.

It's got to be Heavy! This one sticks in your gut. Great drum beat, great heavy guitar sound, catchy little riff, and lets the chords ring. The vocals are sung in an understated mood, not screamed. There's a great bridge before the solo, the solo is manic, and it's all under three minutes. Years ago, producers would insist that all songs be under three minutes.

I just cannot stop listening to this song. It is so addicting. There are multiple stages of the song, with each being equally brilliant.

This song is why God gave me ears. If I could only take 10 songs with me to a deserted island, this would be high on that list.

Really don't understand why this song is not in the top 10 or even top five. Still one of their best songs and my personal favorite.

Should be in the top five. Great energy to keep you rocking throughout.

This song is amazing, one of my all-time favorites!

The World I Know is totally the best and number one song of Collective Soul for me. I agree that Shine was the breakthrough and all, but speaking of class and quality, according to how talented Ed is, this has been his best-written, composed, and performed song throughout this whole time.

Almost every song is great, but this one just beats all of them.

The World I Know is by far, in my opinion, the best they have recorded. It stands out in the confusion of the CD, which has no real direction.

Absolutely Ed's best work of art! Soothing vocals and a great message of the circle of life! Viewing the video is a must! Awesome!

One of my favorite bands. Only Blackberry Smoke and Hootie and the Blowfish are better in my opinion.

Great heavy riff. This is tied with Heavy, but I vote for this since it's lower on the list.

Best song by Collective Soul by far. Run deserves a higher spot on this chart. The lyrics are so soulful. How does this not make it to the top three?

Awesome song. I love this whole album. I really think that this is one of the better songs on it, though! The beat, the lyrics... Come on, people.

Especially relevant today. Speaks of existential boredom, of looking for meaning in life.

This song is extremely energetic and great live! I've seen these guys twice, and Ed puts extreme effort into it. I'd have to say the guitar solo at the end (live) was pretty crazy.

Listen to it, then listen again and again. You will agree it's one of their best.

Really don't understand why this song is not in the top five. This one is my favorite along with Gel and Where the River Flows. Come on, people, Shine is so overrated.

Come on, come on. Love the sexy Eastern European sound of this woman. Come on.

Wow. I am sad this is so low. This is such an inspiring song, but then again the band does have many great songs.

My favorite. I associate it with my first child's birth. She is my precious declaration to the world.

Definitely my favorite Collective Soul song. Should be much higher.

This is an underrated number for this underrated band! I thought this would be in the top five.

Rock something else. You can call it roll if you want, but there is definitely some real rock in here.

Why is this rated so low? Probably one of the better-written songs by them, with an all-around good feel and great music. Love the bridges. This puts the "soul" in Collective Soul.

It used to be that all I'd want to learn was what good music was. Now, all I really want to learn is forgiveness for y'all who didn't vote for this song.
