* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kccoaih2sF0 Birds]]" is already quite a powerful song thanks to its percussion, but the passionate vocals from Italian singer Elisa in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ-BPdkoSMw this remix]] are beautiful.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuLTEUgwEXo Polaroid]]" has incredibly fast singing, a ridiculously catchy melody, and amazing layered voices in the chorus. Each repetition of the chorus gets more intense, meaning guaranteed chills by the third repitition.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi2PVsLTEXc Radioactive]]" manages to very effectively convey a post-apocalyptic feel. It's their best-known song for a reason. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybirL3EtMb8 live version]] arguably tops it by adding two minutes of drum-banging and violin-strumming before the final chorus. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHFfejYUX-U version]] featuring a rap buildup from Music/KendrickLamar? Awesome. The [[https://youtu.be/nBpGAm_rnSU live version at the Grammys]] featuring Kendrick Lamar mashing up both "Radioactive" and "M.A.A.D. City"? God damn.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I647GU3Jsc Natural]]", another very inspirational song, has the same rapid singing as the others, but also opens with an otherworldly humming. Add in a pounding beat, and you can see why ESPN used it.
