Top 10 Best MGMT Songs

Love this song, it's just so catchy and cheery. Makes me smile every time I listen to it. It just puts me in a really good mood! I think anyone who doesn't like it is strange. Give it a listen, you should understand what I'm saying after you have give it a listen a few times!

It's my favorite MGMT song so far. Its really good, I'm addicted to it, I can listen to it like all day. I don't see how kids is their #1 song, don't get me wrong, that song is good too, this song is better in my opinion.

It's so sexy and I fell in love after one listen! This is definitely the best. Andrew's voice sounds beyond sexy and I love every bit of it. Plus on the album cover he's shirtless!

Although I love MGMT songs, I've got to say Electric Feel beats Kids because it's funkier, more psychedelic and it's a trippy masterpiece anybody can enjoy!

This song is so purely beautiful. It starts out with a seemingly cheery tune, but kicks in, revealing a poignantly masterful song. It weaves four different melodies together to work as one and features meaningful lyrics with a truly passionate voice. This song doesn't come with an "in-your-face" drum track either, but instead gets your foot tapping with a simple yet perfect beat. I've never heard a better song in my life, and have listened to it maybe a thousand times, back to back, and it's still as if I'm hearing it for the first time. I don't know of many other songs that can create this feeling.

Best of all songs to me, actually I don't like any other song by then but this beautiful song for some reason. every other song sounds quite random and a little meaningless but this song has rhythm and surpasses all randomness and delivers an awesome beat with pretty good lyrics!

An awesome track reflecting true emotions and too catchy for words. True brilliance at its best. I could listen to it forever and ever and not get bored. Quality never gets old.

This song hits me hard. I honestly don't know why, the meaning, the lyrics the tune, his voice? But this song gives me a warm feeling and I can't get enough of it.

This should be the top one. Amazing song that gently drags you across the universe. It is absolutely an amazing masterpiece and a light in the darkness of what modern music has become. MGMT should be remembered as one of the greatest musicians that ever existed. Their music completely changes my mood and uplifts my day. It makes me excited and ready to live my life and is just unbelievably great on so many levels. This is an uttermost fantastic song and should be #1 on every list of songs ever.

I love the part where they talk about missing family and home, almost as if they wish they could take it all back, but then reconcile the whole situation as being inevitable: "But there is really nothing, nothing we can do. Love must be forgotten, life can only start anew."

Absolutely amazing lyrics, they give me goosebumps every time I hear it. It rare to find a song that can be replayed an infinite amount of times with out getting old; this is one. Keep being you MGMT!

Great song no matter what mood you are in, completely different from the other song that were made. MGMT has made there name be know but with this song they will be remembered as great artist.

This is by far the most beautifully crafted song they have ever written. Lyrically, and musically. It blends so many different genres in just four minutes and twenty three seconds. I hear psychedelic, sixties rock, surf, electronica, and even punk rock (last couple of seconds). I can't believe this is #6. Yeah, it's "different" and not as catchy as "kids", I personally think it is way better than kids and should be #1. It is a far more technical and enjoyable song.

The riff and the tune of the song are as mesmerizing as the name of the song is unique! You will be transported to another world... Few songs imprint themselves into your memory as this one will. Of that much I'm certain!

This song is a masterpiece and is in my opinion the best modern psychedelic rock song. Absolutely brilliant!

My favorite MGMT song. Masterpiece. Really cements them artistically for me as one of the best musical artists I've heard. This coming from a big time Pink Floyd fan. To me, this song is EPIC in the way that Echoes from Pompeii (Pink Floyd) is.

I LOVE THIS SONG. It's the best MGMT song it has a little bit of everything and when you listen to it it takes you somewhere else I love mgmt and all their songs but this one is my personal favorite

Listened to this on repeat after taking some shrooms. At one point I literally thought I was hearing the music of heaven/the afterlife. Specifically the instrumental part just before "I hope I die before I get sold"

At first, the song seems to be a song about, well, surfing. Then you get into it. This song is BY FAR the best MGMT song, and that's saying something, them being one of the best artists of the decade (s).
"But someone must still eat the steaks, even if they're tough, spending the day, chewing the fat, floating away isn't rough but its not enough." Still one of the greatest quotes in a song. The way the acoustics work in the favour of the song, the about 7 "parts" of it, makes it feel more than an 11 minute song, more 5 songs that are each 2 minutes, hands down, this is the best MGMT song and one of the best of all time.

When I first saw this song, I was sceptical that a song that was a full eleven minutes long could be any good. However, Siberian Breaks took my expectations and shattered them. At so many points this song becomes so much more than just a piece of music, this is a track to be felt just as much as it's heard. The best song by one of the best bands, this song is a high point in modern music.

Honestly, I think people are only voting for their hits. Kids, Electric Feel, Time to Pretend? Yeah, they're fan-favorites, and Oracular Spectacular is amazing, but really, music-wise, I think this is far and away their best song. It's so lovely and lilting, rock and psychedelia, guitars and mellotrons. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

The smell of battle, and the feeling of strength, helplessness, serenity, sorrow, self-rejuvenation, and a dreamful speculation all in 4 minutes.

Every morning I listen to this song, I wake up with an overwhelming need to attack my day with strength, precision, and he confidence that no one can get in my way.

Masterpiece. That is what this song is. The instrumentals, electronic influences, and summeresque vocals from Andrew and Ben mesh together seamlessly to leave you with a breathless feeling. I can't help but press rewind when I get to the end of this song. Glorious, radiant, and classic. Perfect 10 of 10.

Has such a raw, yet electric feel, more than any of their other songs. It's the one song I show people who are new to the band because it really has such a perfect balance of what MGMT is all about in the first place, but still is catchy enough to hold strong on its own.

This song. This song is just beautiful. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first one I heard from them. The melody, sound, lyrics, and rhythm just make me feel the sense of peace yet a little bit of victory. Hands down their best song.

The bassline is AWESOME. The vocals are totally spooky. The lyrics have a hidden meaning to it that's leaves you wondering. The drums aren't great, but the harmonies, and the arrangement. It brings me to a whole other place when I hear it. The guitar and bass riffs are awesome. Totally different. The guitar solo is great. And it starts you off getting pumped, it pumps you up, then just calms you down. And leaves you in this like whole other world. Kids is overrated. From a total MGMT fan, this song rocks.

I did not have high hopes for this band past Electric Feel, but this song is mezmerizing. Puts them in a tough spot though, because you can't do tongue in cheek when your songs are this GD good. There's no joke here, even though the words are nonsense, the song itself is one of the best I've ever heard. If you like legendary guitar solos listen to it live, it's unreal.

The Whole Album is amazing, however this song is by far one of the best. The lyrics are very thought provoking and are executed with awesome harmonies and music. Id recommend that you read the lyrics as you listen and just enjoy as your mind tries to decipher how deep MGMT are in the masterpiece

The beginning part has a great melody, and the rest of the song is just perfect. I love how it was made in our decade, but it sounds like it was made in the 60s. Great song, great artists, this should be number 1.

I love this song so much. It feels nice to hear a "Congratulations, " doesn't it? The video is great, the sound is great, the lyrics are great. I don't know if this is definitely number one for me, but it's at least in the top three! Love MGMT.

Greatest song in the world! This band is highly underrated and more bands like this should be noticed! It's a new type of music revolving, and this is the best of the beginning! The lyrics, the beat his voice. Amazing band and song!

Any song about that can capture the hard path to being your true self in a melodic fashion is always going to rank high not only for a bands top 10 list but all time top 10 lists. Congratulations... On making this tremendously insightful song

Best sing EVER. The words have so much meaning and his voice is like an angel. The video makes me sad because that animal is so cute. Definitely give this song a listen, it'll change you way of thinking

"It's working in your blood/But you know it's not the same as love/Love, it's only in your mind/Not your heart"
Need I say anymore? The lyrics are phenomenal. It's an amazing opening for Congratulations. It gets you hooked.

One of the best songs starts off slow, then it explodes into nostalgic pleasure. Wish they explored this type of music style more often.

While the s/t album was disappointing, Alien Days is such a haunting, mysterious song that I have to give it credit over anything song they ever releases. It's like a dream (or nightmare) of the 70s mixed where the movies and T.V. shows about alien become real.

It's a wonderful song with a great video.

This one needs more praise. In a way, it is somber but quick. It is the perfect listen at any time, and is really just a superb track. Way too often overlooked. Needs to be in the Top 10.

This is their best song. NO QUESTION! This is the first song I heard and this made MGMT one of my favorite bands. I love the video too. It's one of the most unique music videos I've seen. The best to play to your enemy.

This song made me fall in love with MGMT. The first time I ever heard it was when I was watching The Kids are Alright and I fell in love with The Youth the first second the song came up. It's even my most played song on my iTune list and for me it's probably the best song in the universe.

Not my favorite by them, but this is really a beautiful yet underrated song and one of my favorite music videos too!

The youth is by far the greatest musical piece created by MGMT. Its slow, yet fast. It is a beautiful song.

One of the greatest songs ever made. Should be higher.

It gives me a nostalgic feeling I have never felt before. No matter how much pain there will be from blasting this song in my ears, it would not hurt to listen to it again.

As good if not better than anything they've released "pop" sounding.

A fun, funky and upbeat track. It's repetition is what makes this song so irresistible.

If you watch the video (not the official one there is no official video) it is such nostalgia if you watched it when it came out. this was the first song I ever heard by them and will be one of my favorites by them. I started listening to them when I was in 3rd grade (now in 8th grade). I remember when this song first came up on YouTube my dad had it playing and I remember watching the video with him and saying that it was freaky but good music. ill always remember these guys. I may haven't listened to these guys in 4 5 even probably 6 years but that doesn't stop me from ever not likeing them. this is my personal and most memorable song by mgmt to me and one of the first bands I ever listened to were these guys. thank you mgmt.

This is my personal favorite it's not their most known song but I feel it's the best. The beginning is not a good representation of the whole song and you have to listen to the whole song to appreciate it

The only down side is I have to turn it down when my mom comes by because it gets real awkward real fast. But legit, I have a playlist of all of MGMT's songs and I have 10 duplicates of this song to make sure it plays often

Indie Rokkers might be one of my top 10 songs of all time...it is just something about the beat, lyrics, and the melody that brings it all together. I love this song!

Love this song! They took Faine Jade's song from the 60's and brought it into the future! Such a great sound, and with such deep meaning.

Definitely one of their top ten.

This song is always "up there" but I have yet to see it where it should be: Number 1. Too often I see Time To Pretend, Kids, and even Of Moons, Birds and Monsters topping these lists. Not to insult any of those songs (which are all awesome as well), but The Handshake is usually overlooked, and is NEVER given the credit that it undoubtably deserves. This song is masterfully crafted, from the beginning bell tones, to the echoing and fading chants. It is easily my favorite MGMT song, and is truly a work of art. This is one of those tracks where you wonder how in the hell they came up with it. It stands out and holds its own on one of my favorite albums of all time, Oracular Spectacular.

It reminds me of my childhood. My sister and I always made secret handshakes when we were kids. Also, I used to sit outside by myself for hours, waiting for my parents to pick me up from school. This is reflected when they say "I was a loner, I was just waiting by myself. " It just has a sentimental meaning for me that no other song does. I love it to death.

The slow down is superb, but it's the ending that makes it.

I also must add that when it goes into "ooh, you convinced yourself that you want it but you don't know...", I get chills. every time. It is a true masterpiece. Might be my favorite song of all time.

Number 46, seriously? This song is great. Easily in the top 10.

I guess people didn't ask enough questions. Because they don't know that this is the best MGMT song

This song stirs emotions I only thought the Hunger Games could reach, in my opinion. The song reminds me of the Beatles because of the background music. I had avoided listening to it at first because I didn't know what it was and only wanted to listen to Kids. I believe this song is extremely underrated and very overlooked. This could be my favorite MGMT song of all time.

Andrew's voice in this song is so beautiful. It takes you to a nostalgic better place you used to dream of. I can't forget about the acoustic guitar either, so soothing. Forever an MGMT fan.

Beautiful song by a beautiful singer, Andrew's voice is so clear and full of emotions, love it!

I love the vocals & lyrics, it's an all-around amazing song!

This song is my number one. Give it a listen, be patient this one takes you for a ride... ENJOY!

It's more than just a song, definitely MGMT's best musical accomplishment.

This song is just epic, there's really no other like it.
