The 11 Best Songs By Phantogram

There's no better kick to a rock band's music credibility than to be invited to guest on a hip hop album. Phantogram didn't get ask to guest on one song, they were asked to guest on three...and not just by any street poet, they were asked to guest on an album by one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time, Big Boi of Outkast.  One of their duets, CPU, may easily be the best solo song that Big Boi has ever done.  Phantogram keeps getting better with every release; maturing, refining, and expanding with every song.  Soon, it will be Big Boi guesting on Phantogram's album, giving him more music cred. Here are the 11 Best Songs By Phantogram:

1. As Far As I Can See (Eyelid Movies)
2. 16 Years (Night Life)
3. You Are the Ocean (Eyelid Movies)
4. Don't Move (Night Life)
5. Black Out Days (Phantogram EP)
6. Turning Into Stone (Night Life)
7. Never Going Home (Phantogram EP)
8. Mouthful of Diamonds (Eyelid Movies)
9. Bloody Palms (Eyelid Movies)
10. The Day You Died (Night Life)
11. Voices (Mouthful of Diamonds)
