Every Single By The 1975 Ranked Worst To Best
You know when they're around 'cause they know the sound of your heart.
Ever since they first burst onto the scene almost a decade ago, Brit pop-rockers The 1975 have looked primed for success. Quartet Matthew Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel have never been short on ambition - and three records into their career, they've more than lived up to their own billing and then some.
In fact, despite not necessarily achieving the heady chart success they've enjoyed with their albums when it comes to their radio hits, they've likely emerged as one of the nation's best singles bands over that period too, with almost thirty cuts between them that range from solid to stone-cold modern classic.
With that in mind, we've run the rule over all twenty-eight of the group's officially released singles to date - no remixes or guest appearances here - to separate the best from the rest and the very best from them too.
From the crash of debut anthem The City through the eighties maximalism of most recent cut If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know), here's what we've come up with...
28. The City
"Don't call it a fight/when you know it's a war," comes Healy's opening line as the crash of industrial-fuzzed drums and keening, siren-like synths puncture the air on the band's debut single.
As first gambles go, it's got plenty of the band's future hallmarks, but is just missing the effectiveness of a sharp hook to truly go stratospheric.
