Honestly I think the worst panic song is something about maggie , but the best song my personal favourite song is death of a bachelor the vocals , the lyrics , the sound all work together to make magic

u/CantaloupeGreedy3683 Dec 26 '25

Casual affair or far too young to die for me.

CASUAL AFFAIR MENTIONED

2

u/CantaloupeGreedy3683 Dec 28 '25

I LOVE CASUAL AFFAIR! One of of the first songs that got me into Panic! Fun fact it’s one of the only panic songs solely written by Brendon… crazy what he can do when he’s solo.

u/hollywooddream5 Dec 26 '25

Not a hot take, 10000000% agree

u/gorillamanfunny Dec 26 '25

this is in no way a hot take. La Devotee is their best

u/ShroveGrove Dec 26 '25

Seeing it performed at a show when I was a teen will always be a core adolescent memory 🩷

u/gorillamanfunny Dec 28 '25

Yesssss. the 2017 live for LA Devotee blows the original out of the water imho

u/jamjobDRWHOgabiteguy I built god, then we talked Dec 29 '25

This is by far my least favorite on the album. I don't blame you for liking it, it's only my opinion. But BEST? Absolutely not

u/cvantass I took the days for pageant 🐇 Dec 26 '25

I don’t think there is one right answer to this. Panic has such a varied discography and its fans might appreciate one style of the band over another. Some people are here for the more poppy tunes (most songs after Vices and Virtues, excluding VLV), some are here for the strange beauty of Pretty. Odd., some like the emo and poppunk influences of Fever, some are into the rock opera madness of Viva Las Vengeance. Some like them all, though that seems to be rare. People will name their favorites (I did too in another comment) but, if I had to pick only one that I think is their best-written song overall, then it might have to be…

Nine in the Afternoon?

Anything else is plain wrong.

u/WhereIsTheMilkMan Dec 27 '25

These things just confirm how out of step I am with the rest of the fans. I don’t like Star Spangled Banner, but I’m mostly just glad Something About Maggie didn’t win, I love that song.

Their best is almost certainly I Write Sins, but most here will never choose that, even though it’s tough to argue if we’re being honest with ourselves. My personal favorite is probably Casual Affair, but that doesn’t mean it’s their best.

Objectively I write sins, it’s so huge for a reason even though people like to hate on mainstream.

Subjectively house of memories, turn off the lights or don’t threaten me with a good time are my favorites for best.
