Ranking Arctic Monkeys songs is not for the weak.In this episode of Record Room, we take on one of the hardest lists yet: ranking our top 10 Arctic Monkeys songs.Arctic Monkeys are one of my favorite bands of all time, and making this list reminded me why. They’re one of those rare bands that never stayed in one place for too long. From the raw energy of their early records to the cinematic heartbreak of Suck It and See, the cool confidence of AM, and the lounge-inspired world of their later albums, they’ve always found a way to evolve while still sounding unmistakably like themselves.We talk through the classics, fan favorites, deep cuts, and the songs that made us fall in love with Alex Turner’s writing in the first place, including “505,” “Cornerstone,” and “Secret Door.”What are your top 10 Arctic Monkeys songs?
