Top 10 Best Hoobastank Songs
You probably remember Hoobastank best from the early 2000s when rock radio was cranking out angst, emotion, and enough earnest vocals to fill a stadium. These guys broke through in a big way with their 2003 hit The Reason, but their story started well before that.Formed in 1994 in Agoura Hills, California, Hoobastank first made noise with a self-released album and local shows that earned them a solid following. By the time they dropped their major-label debut in 2001, they were more than ready for the spotlight.
Hoobastank's style mixes post-grunge grit with a knack for catchy hooks, always delivered with a kind of emotional sincerity that either hit you right in the feels or made you slightly embarrassed to be hit in the feels. Their sound evolved with each album, but they never completely abandoned that early 2000s rock DNA that made them a staple of alt-rock playlists.
This list is all about figuring out which of their tracks really stand above the rest. Some people show up for the big radio singles, while others are all about those deeper cuts that only real fans brag about knowing.
Oh my, the voice of the lead singer is so hot. The acoustic version is so amazing. I like it more than the original, but well, it's just my opinion.
The first song by Hoobastank I heard was Crawling in the Dark, and to be honest, I didn't like it that much. So I had a little distaste for their music. But today, I heard this in an 8tracks playlist, and it felt like they lit a fire and threw me into it.
I felt so much. It was wonderful. Just wow. I am in love with this.
Can't think of another song in recent years with lyrics so beautiful. I wonder just how many people can identify with these lyrics on a personal level, as I can.
That's exactly why songs like this exist - sheer poetry.
Nice performance. This could be ranked as number 1, but The Reason is also awesome! Doug Robb executes this song perfectly!
If you like harder rock, definitely check this one out! Sounds great!
Best Hoobastank song, hands down.
Really amazing, great vocals. It has a certain tune that makes it feel energized. I enjoyed it very much, and it should be, in my opinion, the best Hoobastank song.
This features guest vocals from Ian Watkins of Lostprophets. This song kicks ass!
Raw power. It's amazing how he managed to scream like this without his eyes popping out.
Because The Reason is too popular and was overplayed for forever, I vote for this one. It is catchy, and I am almost always in the mood to listen to it.
To say the least, this is an amazing song. There's just something about it that really catches my attention. And it cheers me up if I'm ever down.
A great song.
This song made me cry. So heart-touching, it should be second after The Reason.
This song is crazy awesome, one of the songs from Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. I used to play that with my dad on PS2, so I have a lot of memories attached to that game and its track list.
Out of Control was on there too.
I came here thinking this would be at least in the second spot. This has to be the best of their songs, right there along with The Reason.
It's soothing and emotionally strong at the same time. Deserves a better spot. Come on, people, vote up!
This is one of the best songs ever. And without a question, the best one from Hoobastank. If I Were You is so meaningful.
Vote for this song until it reaches the top spot.

Best song to listen to while working out! Also, NHL Hitz 2003!

There can't be a better love song than this one. The vocals here are just epic.
A very provoking, beautiful song! Awesome creation by the band. This song touches my inner soul, refreshes my mind, and makes me a self-motivated person!
This song encourages us when we're down with our failures. Yet in such a time, the song refreshes us with hope to stand firm on our own and face the truth.
Good song indeed.
It's really hard to choose one song from them when there are so many good songs, but I vote for this one. It's really a great song.
Heart-touching.

This is a really good song. Not bad. I like it.
This song has a really great message. I think it's totally about opposing the nonsense some politicians keep promising us, but actually, the message is a reminder for everyone, not just them.
They deliver this in an epic way. Just listen! What I love about Hoobastank is that they often write songs that remind us about more than just love.
The power in this song is immense. I mean, not just the lyrics but the music too. The guitar solo, the guitar riffs, the screaming - everything.
It should be in the top 3.
