Top 10 Best Placebo Songs

Just found out about these guys not too long ago, and when I first heard this song, I was hooked and loved it! Placebo doesn't seem to be very well known on this site, but you should check them out.

This song is amazing. There's just something about it that gets me every time. It takes me to a different place.

The moment I heard it, I knew it had the greatest impact on me. It was sweet, sour, and bitter. It was good.

This is way too low on this list. The first song I heard by Placebo, and it's still my favorite (as well as Teenage Angst).

One of my favorite songs! I have loved this song for so long. It is amazing!

Great song. It is one of the best songs about bisexuality ever.

This song came up at the worst time in my life and just made everything easier. Here I am, happy you are gone (sadness).

I love this song! I am gonna vote for all of them.

I like all of Placebo's songs 100%!

I can't even describe in words how this song makes me feel every time I listen to it. I get shivers down my spine. Just listen to it. You will feel better soon!

First song from Placebo. Amazing song. They should really focus on this song more and build an album around it!

I am 63 years young. Am I allowed to say what an amazing song this is? Beautiful!

I'm a metal fan, and I don't like bands that don't have good guitars and drums. But this band has a different style. It may not have a good sound back system, but the atmosphere it creates makes a lot of their songs well.

Placebo's singer got me in. His voice is truly amazing, especially in this song. Love the part he says, gravity no escaping gravity. Can't get it out of my head. This song is great. It's the best of all. Placebo may have a lot of good work, but this song is truly amazing and the best one here.

My top 3 list would go like this:
1. Special K
2. Twenty Years
3. Song to Say Goodbye

This is such a beautiful, one-of-a-kind love song. It makes me cry every time I hear it, and it stood as my wedding song. It has something that's unique to itself and something that's universal at the same time.

It was so hard choosing between all of their songs, but none beat this masterpiece.

By far the best song by Placebo in my opinion. Kind of mellow and proggy, this is a masterpiece. Must say that I don't like what they did after Black Market Music, so I'm not the best man for judging Placebo as a whole.

You would think an 8-minute song would just get boring halfway through, right? NAH! Not this one! The only feeling you get midway is the awesome realization that the song is not over yet.

The song itself is droning and quite beautiful, but what makes it amazing, in my opinion, is the absolute heartwarming music video. CHECK IT OUT!

In my list, this song condenses the real Placebo feel. It is caustic, sour, and rebellious, sad but lively. This song reminds me of the friend that introduced me to Placebo. He was indeed blessed with lucky 7's, yet he miserably threw all his future away taking drugs.

For me, it was also a song to say goodbye.

An amazing song that deserves much more than the #13 place on the countdown. It has an extremely good opening which proves that the song is on a totally whole other level. The drums and the guitar make it addictive. In my opinion, it has to be at least in the top 5.

My *best* Placebo song! The intensity of the music and the video is just powerful. It's my 'going out' song. I have it as the last track on all my CDs in my car. If I'm in a crash and survive, then that's the song I'm listening to.

The first song I've heard from Placebo and still my favorite! Brian's voice is one of a kind. Also, I never get tired of listening to their songs!

Reminds me of my younger years. All the confusions, frustrations, and disappointments I had.

Such a solid song! Lyrics are gold, especially since this is the only song by Placebo which has the word "Placebo" in the lyrics! - "I took a vow of silence, when he reads his work to me, I swallow words like a... Placebo."

I thought nobody but me even knew this song! You seem to be a Placebo expert!

The first song that really spoke to me lyrically and what really got me into music. It helped me find out who I was when I was so lost during a weird time in my life. That outro is just too good. It makes me so happy.

I remember when this was #46 on this list. I was speechless. A couple of months later, it's #16! Well deserved! Now for the top ten :) Thank you, Placebo.

This song means the world to me. The lyrics, while they do not make sense to everyone, are so powerful and yet so simple at the same time. A truly outstanding and heartfelt song.

This song is so beautiful and should definitely be at least in the top ten of Placebo's best songs. The lyrics are incredible, and the guitar at the beginning of the song gets you immediately. I fell in love when I heard it the first time!

Please vote for it!

The guitar and piano are just mesmerizing. Amazing song!

I love this song sooo much! It has such a nice melody and rhythm. The music fits nicely with his singing voice.

This song is beautiful. It's so emotional and almost haunting. It deserves to be higher.

One of the most emotional songs I know. My top song by Placebo along with Space Monkey.

Not only the top song of Placebo but a top song of all time!

The funniest thing with this is that I really forgot to take my meds at that moment (when I first listened to this song). It was like THE MEDS, and then I met Placebo, and yeah, that's because I love the song.

How can this be in the top 10? It should be in the top... what? It should be number one!

I think Meds is one of the best Placebo songs, and the drums are incredible.

My favorite song. Deserves to be #1.

It's the song from the trailer of one of my favorite vampire movies, "Daybreakers," and it's awesome.

This song should be far higher than 31. Far, far higher. The deeper meaning behind this song is beautiful. The way his voice interacts with the music is simply magical. Listen to it, you will not regret it.

This is one of those special Placebo tracks that is constantly and consistently played over and over again. WOW! Its powerful, edgy ballad leaves you wanting more and more.

"If I could tear you from the ceiling, and freeze us both in time. I'd find a brand new way of seeing, your eyes forever glued to mine."

This song has a very deep meaning. It is a legendary song, but it's a pity that only a few people understand it.

This was actually the first song I ever heard from Placebo, and I couldn't find any song more beautiful than this!

I'm laughing because this is my favorite song by them, and it's like #19.

If you really like Placebo, give this song a try (better the acoustic version).

"Farewell the ashtray girl, forbidden snowflake, beware this troubled world, watch out for earthquakes, goodbye to open sores, to broken semaphore, you know we miss her... we miss her picture... sometimes it's fated, we disintegrated for fear of growing old... sometimes it's faded we assassinated it for fear of growing old."

Quite apart from the beginning of the song (I hold an image of the ashtray girl, of cigarette burns on my chest. I wrote a poem that described her world and put our friendship to the test. And late at night, while on all fours, she used to watch me kiss the floor.. what's wrong with this picture?), what he sings slays. Seriously, you can't consider yourself a Placebo fan if you don't have this song.
