# 10 – Metal & Dust

We open up our London Grammar songs ranked list with the group’s first single release of their career entitled “Metal & Dust.” We thought this would be a great way to open up this list showcasing their first single release. The song was originally released on their EP in 2013 but it was also included on debut album entitled If You Wait. One just gets the chills as Hannah Reid sings “we argue, we don’t fight, stay awake in the middle of the night,” over and over again. This is just such a moody music that set the tone for the rest of the band’s career.

# 9 – Big Picture

Continuing with our London Grammar songs list we present the great song entitled “Big Picture.” We just simply love this video and the coloring and shadows. It’s just purely magnificent.  The song “Big Picture,” was released on the group’s second album entitled Truth Is a Beautiful Thing. The guitar parts on this one sound a little bit like The Edge from U2.The song “Big Picture,” was released as the second single from the record. It would become a top 100 hit on the UK singles charts as it peaked in the number 73 position. Watch this video and listen to music and you’ll be simply mesmerized by Hannah. This is simply stunning music.

# 8 – Baby It’s You

This one will turn you on right from the start with its marvelous techno electro beat and dazzling synthesizers. Hannah comes whispering in with that gorgeous voice knocking you down on your knees. It sounds like she’s singing right to you, staring you down whispering baby it’s you. It’s almost too much to take.  This captivating song was released in 2020. The song was written by Daniel Rothman, Dominic Major, George FitzGerald and Hannah Reid. The song was released as the first single from the Californian Soil album.

# 7 – Californian Soil

In the number seven spot on our London Grammar songs list we turn to the title track from the band’s great Californian Soil album . The album was released in 2020. There is a bit of a Sinead O’Connor vibe going on in this one along with a bit of a Middle Eastern feel. “Californian Soil,” was released as the second single from the album.

# 6 – Non Believer

Well this one is going to blow your mind. The video for this song is simply stunning and so well directed by Jodeb and starring Karelle Tremblay. This is just art at it’s finest. The song  “Non Believer,” was released on the album Truth Is a Beautiful Thing. It was released as the fourth single from the album. The production on both the song and the videos is simply top notch. We can listen to this over and over again.

# 5 – Wicked Games

At the halfway point on our top 10 London Grammar songs list we turn to the band’s great version of the song “Wicked Games.” One would never think that anybody could make this Chris Isaak song even more moodier than the original but that’s exactly what London Grammar does on this wonderful recording. Hannah’s deep voice sets the mood in such a captivating and emotional sense as she hits those low notes while also reaching into that superior falsetto.

# 4 – Nightcall

Listen to that beautiful piano dance around Hannah’s voice at the start of this song. This beautiful song entitled “Nightcall,” was released on the band’s debut album entitled If You Wait. The song was written by Kavinsky and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. The video for this one is just as daunting as the song itself.

# 3 – Hey Now

In the number three spot on our London Grammar songs list is one of the band’s most popular songs entitled “Hey Now.” The song “Hey Now,” was released on the band’s album If You Wait. It would become the second gold record release from the album. It was a top 40 hit on the UK singles charts in 2014.The song “Hey Now,”was written by Hannah Reid, Dot Major, and Daniel Rothman

# 2 – Strong

As we begin to wind down or London Grammar songs list we turn to the band’s song entitled “Strong.”  The song “Strong,” was released as the third single from their debut album. This would become the band’s highest charting single of their career on the United Kingdom pop charts where it peaked at number sixteen. It was also the band’s biggest selling song of the career so far and their only platinum-selling single.

# 1 – Wasting My Young Years

We close out our top 10 London Grammar songs list with our favorite London Grammar song entitled “Wasting My Young Years.” Just think about that title and how so many of us thought about that so many times. The song was released as the second single from the debut album. This is just a beautiful song that makes you really think about things in such an emotional way. There is a Paula Cole vibe that rings through this one.
