Top 10 Best Royal Blood Songs

Formed in Brighton in 2013, Royal Blood exploded onto the global music scene with their innovative sound. With a line-up consisting of just two members, Mike Kerr on vocals and bass guitar, and Ben Thatcher on drums, they broke the mold, creating a hard-hitting rock sound that defied the standard band model.

It's fascinating to note that Royal Blood is not a traditional four-piece band. They don't have a guitarist, and instead, Mike Kerr uses various effects pedals to make his bass guitar sound like a standard electric guitar. This unique bass-driven sound, coupled with Thatcher's relentless drumming, gives the band a distinctive, intense sound. They quickly gained recognition for this, and their eponymous debut album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart in 2014.

Since then, they've continued to climb the ranks, garnering accolades and a massive following worldwide. Each song in their growing discography brings something unique to the table, whether it's the electrifying riffs, infectious rhythms, or Kerr's captivating vocals. Royal Blood's music is a pulsating force that gets the heart racing and the head banging. It's rock in its purest, most visceral form, and yet it is diverse, with elements of alternative rock, hard rock, blues rock, and garage rock all thrown into the mix.

The Top Ten

  1. Out of the Black

    I've always thought this was the best (not only Royal Blood song) but one of the best in rock history. It represents the goodness of its musical genre. I hope one day this band can be way more recognized.

    They can make rock and metal songs without electric guitar. Unique band.

    Yes, that's got to be the best song. I can't stop listening to it.

  2. Figure It Out

    Alright, I agree with Out of the Black being number 1, but this song should without a doubt be at No.2. I'm sure some people would have it even at number 1, but for me, I've got it at No.2!

    I think this song beats all other Royal Blood songs. It's great.

  3. Little Monster

    Blood Hands is what brought me to Royal Blood, but this is the song that made me stay!

    Good drum solo, I know how to play it!

    Probably my favorite song by Royal Blood that I have learned on bass guitar.

  4. Loose Change

  5. Lights Out

  6. Ten Tonne Skeleton

    I can't put into words how good of a song Ten Tonne Skeleton is. It puts all other songs about losing who you love to shame.

    Awesome lyrics and haunting, driving guitar and drum lines. Tell me this song doesn't pump you up!

  7. Better Strangers

    First song I ever heard by these guys. It's pretty amazing.

  8. Come on Over

    Come on!

    This has GOT to be up there as at least top 3-5. The fast, punkish beat, with heavy sounding riffs and a badass bend, makes for a sick and memorable jam that was stuck in my head the first time I heard it.

  9. I Only Lie When I Love You

    "I only lie when I make a sound." Amazing. I can't lie, this is my favorite song from their new album.

    Simply the greatest song ever made!

  10. How Did We Get So Dark?

    The build and finish to this song show there is real craftsmanship here. Great song from a strong band.

    It's so well made and well executed. Drums, bass, and singing are all great.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Oblivion

  12. ?

    Limbo

    13. The Contenders

  13. Sleep

    Best song.

    From the whole dark album, we are given this catchy finale that brings the greatest smile. I listened to this band after enjoying the Arctic Monkeys for a few years. Royal Blood continues the legacy with this epic effort and ends it brilliantly.

    Best lyrics, best riff.

  14. Hook, Line, and Sinker

  15. Hole in Your Heart

    Incredibly atmospheric and more mature from a lyrical aspect, this song is easily the band's magnum opus.

    Shows growth from their excellent first album. Amazing track.

    Takes Royal Blood a level above even the excellence that is Come On Over and Little Monster.

  16. You Can Be So Cruel

    I've been listening to these guys for years and just recently heard this song. They are huge Queens of the Stone Age fans like myself, and it shows a little bit in this song.

  17. Love and Leave It Alone

  18. Blood Hands

    In my top three, after Better Strangers and before Careless. Why is it so low?

    Out of the Black deserves first place. However, I thought Blood Hands seemed way too low. It's probably in my top three.

    My number one, I reckon (could change once I listen to it too many times).

  19. Where are You Now?

    Such a great song. Minimal verses with a crashing chorus, great riff.

  20. You Want Me

    B side indeed, but everything we love about those two guys is in this song. It is impossible for me to tell how "You Want Me" didn't manage to find "a way out" on their first album.

    Hardly listened to because it is not on the album, but I'm telling you this is definitely top 5.

  21. Careless

    Should be way higher. Second best Royal Blood song in my opinion after Out of the Black.

  22. Hole

  23. Don't Tell

  24. One Trick Pony

  25. She's Creeping

  26. Look Like You Know

  27. Half the Chance
