Top 10 Best Stereophonics Songs
Stereophonics have been a staple of the rock scene since the late '90s, delivering a unique blend of gritty realism and heartfelt storytelling. Hailing from the small Welsh village of Cwmaman, the band first made waves with their debut album Word Gets Around in 1997. From there, they've carved out a legacy with their anthemic sound, characterized by the raw, raspy vocals of frontman Kelly Jones and a talent for penning songs that explore everything from small-town life to deeply personal moments.Over the years, Stereophonics have evolved their sound without losing touch with the elements that made fans fall in love with them in the first place. They've gone from crafting rock ballads perfect for introspective nights to delivering upbeat tracks that feel like they were made for stadium singalongs. Along the way, they've released numerous chart-topping albums, played massive festivals, and cemented their place as one of Britain's most enduring bands.
Not only my favorite Phonics song, but my favorite song ever! Great lyrics, which hold unbelievable memories from what is certainly the greatest album ever! Also, a great atmosphere when this song is played live.
I think this is the best song from the Phonics. It gets everyone singing along.
This is one of the most moving rockers I have ever heard. Its power is incredible.
Love this song. It always brings back fond memories and always creates a great atmosphere when played!
Love this track. It is a Phonics classic for me that I will always play.
They do it incredibly live. The crowd goes wild!
This is such a funky song. The vocals and guitar riffs are superb. It's a firm favorite among many early Phonics tracks for me. Uplifting.
Dakota is a brilliant song, the type of perfect hit that any band can write once in a decade. I'd even be brave enough to say this song is one of the best songs ever!
Love this song. It's got the lot for me - earthy with passion and energy. I too wished I'd listened to it while watching Wales win the 2011/12 Grand Slam! It's good for the gym too.
This is an amazing song. I don't know how I had never heard it before. This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Amazing.
This song holds all of the characteristics that allow it to stand out as one of the best songs ever. The meaning of the lyrics, guitar playing, tune, and overall quality are just amazing.
Also, it's something that almost every person that hears it can relate to at some point in their life.
The movie Crash made this song popular, at least I think so. I got it right after I saw the movie. I think that it should be higher on the list, definitely. It's one of their best songs.
Very powerful song. His voice really stands out in this one. It definitely should be number one.
A belter. Builds to an amazing chorus. Classic Stereophonics track that I have always loved.
I saw them live and it was so simple and beautiful. Perfect end to the gig.
I love the guitars in this song. And the lyrics are also very meaningful.
Great song - very surprised to not see it on this list. The lyrics relate to me very well (I think they do anyway. Haven't checked for alternative meanings) and probably to the majority of people.
This is my favorite song by Stereophonics. Maybe it's because this is the first song I heard by them, but I just LOVE it. Yes, I think it should be higher on this list.
Reminds me of when I first got into music at about 12 and I loved this song. The little me had good taste. Traffic is a very, very close second. Dakota is third.
I have been a fan of the Stereophonics for years. I just stumbled across this track, and it is so haunting! Kelly Jones sings with such emotion. I can't stop listening to it!
I instantly fell in love with that song and the band when I heard this song for the first time live. It is so powerful that I just can't stop listening to it.
Tragic beauty in lyrics and Kelly's voice.
Great song.
This track is excellent. I love the moodiness of it. It's a real storyteller song with amazing lyrics. Great build-up too. It reminds me of Fleetwood Mac and their build-up with the track The Chain, but better.
The Newcomers
I don't think the Scream Above the Sounds album is very good. But this song makes it all worth it!
Really catchy song, and that guitar intro is epic!
Best song from Scream Above the Sounds.
Instant classic! Those that don't like this song don't appreciate good music. This song was redone with so much class and style it outdid the original and its artists. It was so good you might even think that it's a young and more polished Rod Stewart singing this.
I'm an old fart at 68, but this version of the Rod Stewart classic has a better arrangement and Kelly's performance is equal to, if not better than, Rod's. I'm seeing them soon in Cardiff and hope they include this.
"A cover is invariably never really as good as the original. But it can be different and be excellent at being different." Never have those words rung so true.
It's such an amazing yet simple, positive tune to which everyone can relate!
Great song with a real summery feel to it. Love it.
My favorite song from one of my favorite albums of all time.
I'm a straight male, but I find Kelly's voice sexy as hell.
Put simply, it's the best song I've heard from them, period.
The lyrics are just mesmerizing. The tune is so catchy, and it's an epic song for their new drummer to introduce himself to the Stereophonics fans. This song should definitely be in the top 3.
It's so perfect. The lyrics, the rhythm, Kelly's voice, and notes. I fell in love when I heard it.
Great track. Love the lyrics and the chorus. Another catchy belter from the Phonics.
My all-time Phonics fave! So underrated.
Favorite track of the performance.
Something different but catchy as hell and with some great lyrics too!
Really catchy and an all-around great song!
This is a new song from this great band.
This is a really catchy song. It has a different vibe from the rest of their songs and really stands out for me.
I always hum to the tune.
I really like this song. It was the first song I heard by them and probably my favorite apart from Dakota. Top 10 song for me.
One of their best and most popular songs, reaching number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
Catchy song and one of their most popular. Needs to be higher.
18? You are joking! Such an underrated song.
Beautiful melody and nice lyrics.
One of their best, in my opinion.
