One of my favorite bands of recent years is Snow Patrol. The band released its first album, Songs for Polar Bears, in 1998, but did not really catch on in the U.S. until the band's third album, Final Straw, was released in 2004. So when choosing my favorite top 10 Snow Patrol songs, it's no surprise those off Final Straw and the band's latest release, Eyes Open, make up most of the following top 10 Snow Patrol favorites.

Top 10 Songs:

10. Signal Fire (Spider-man 3 Soundtrack)

Signal Fire is an appealing song featured on the Spider-man 3 soundtrack. Ever since I saw the music video for Signal Fire featuring a bunch of cute kids in a Spider-man play, I can't help but smile when I hear the song.

09. Chocolate (Final Straw)

This Snow Patrol song can be found on the band's Final Straw album. But Chocolate became completely unforgettable after being featured in the trailer for Paul Haggis' underrated 2006 film The Last Kiss. When I listen to the music of Snow Patrol, Chocolate is one of the few songs that generates a visual connection to both life and love.

08. You're All I Have (Eyes Open)

You're All I Have is one of my favorite Snow Patrol songs thanks to the upper beats and clear lyrics that make me want to sing along.

07. Shut Your Eyes (Eyes Open)

One of the coolest songs is Shut Your Eyes, not exactly for what it is, but because of what it could be. Just shut your eyes. And imagine.

06. Crazy in Love

The band Snow Patrol did a killer cover of Beyonce's Crazy in Love. It is just a fun song. You can listen to this music (here) off YouTube.

05. Set the Fire to the Third Bar (Eyes Open)

I love Set the Fire to the Third Bar which Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody sings along with artist Martha Wainwright. It's interesting to listen to how their voices play off each other; and it has this haunting quality to it that is hard to shake off.

04. Isolation (Instant Karma)

Takeaways
  • Half of my top 10 picks are from the band's 2006 album Eyes Open.
  • The band Snow Patrol has released four major albums.
