With every great band comes some pretty great and pretty well-known music, especially when it comes to the punk rock band, 2000s-esque Panic! at the Disco. While much of their (or now just Brendon's) music is known by the mainstream circles, such as the songs "This is Gospel" and "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," and the more avid listeners know songs such as "That Green Gentleman" and "Build God, Then We'll Talk," focusing just on the more popular music results in a lack of appreciation for the entire product of the band. Without further ado, here are some of my personal favorites by the band that didn't make it into the spotlight.
1. "Let's Kill Tonight"
This is hands-down one of my all-time favorite songs of theirs, at least behind "Build God, Then We'll Talk." Featured in the band's 2011 album Vices and Virtues, this electronic beat and awesome rhythm of a sound track provides a dark anthem that is great to scream (or perhaps growl) at the top of your longs whether in the shower, on a road trip, or just out with friends. The lyrics are a little on the sadistic side, but that's what makes this song so great, and a great hit for the band.
2. "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet"
This song no doubt stays true to the sound of the band's first studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, with its creative and long-winded lyrics (as well as a long-winded song title). The tune, however, stands apart from the likes of "I Write Sings Not Tragedies" and "Build God, Then We'll Talk" with an upbeat, swinging sound and catchy trumpet solos.
3. "Northern Downpour"
Slowing it down a little bit comes the pick from 2008's album Pretty. Odd. While the song maintains the album's Beatles-esque qualities, it strips away a whole bunch of the background noise to focus in on Brendon's voice. And the effect is pretty awesome. Definitely a good pick for when you need a song to cry to.
4. "Crazy=Genius"
Despite the mixed reviews of the band's newest album, Death of a Bachelor, which features but one of the original members (Brendon Urie), one can't help but get caught up in the edgier, rocking beat of the album, especially with this song. Once again employing the band's much-used swing-sound and a whole bunch of Brendon's strong vocals, this is yet another super awesome song to which you can jam out in your car, or in the shower.
5. "Vegas Lights"
While 2013's Too Weird To Live, Too Rare to Die! tends to be my least favorite of the band's albums, I can't deny the greatness of this particular song. Differing from the other songs on this list by its chiller vibe and more muffled sound, it still maintains the awesome lyricism we have all come to love and cherish from Panic! at the Disco.
