I refuse to consider listening to a band with this shit a name. Unless, as Contenderizer says, they were power metal.

I haven't listened to Imagine Dragons or the Lumineers or Mumford and Sons or Philip Philips or whatever. I feel very blissful in my ignorance.

Ive heard Radioactive. With the grohl sounding 'ready to rock you' chorus, they sound like a foo fighters tribute. Listening on the radio without paying too much attention at first, i thought this was the Foo Fighters's latest single. lol. Im betting they are big fans of grohl. Not that he's had much amazing input since his debut. The FF are too commercialized now, and im sure this band will be too. Not that the band will mind. Radioactive is a pretty good track but nothing that original or inspirational. In a cowell led music industry thats spitting out more generic rubbish now than ever, thats nothing to be shocked about XD

When will Radioactive stop rising on the chart? Up to #3 after 47 weeks.

Right now it's on track to go past number one, which would be the first time in history a song has done that.

chipotle
looks like somebody decided we need a new nickelback
my girlfriend sometimes trolls me by sending me links to youtubes of really popular songs that I (a) have never heard and (b) she knows i will hate. she hasn't gotten around to this band but has trolled me with old crow medicine show, mumford & sons, and that anna kendrick thing among others. of all of the youtubes she's sent me the only one I could listen to all the way through was the OCMS one which I felt was mostly terrible but not offensively so. however if i had heard it every day for a few years I'd probably feel differently. anyway.

creepy-looking Imagine Dragons frontman reminds me a little of creepy-looking Arcade Fire frontman. also lol mullet.

i still really like their first single "It's Time," though, that's one good-ass generic movie trailer-sounding song.

I still have never listened to Imagine Dragons, but I wonder if anyone has made a fan vid with scenes of Daenerys Targaryen.

The Kendrick song also has like a 2-minute steadicam shot in the video (for people who care about stuff like that).

check out the 77-second version from the soundtrack that originally went viral, the dressed-up re-recording they play on pop radio now is not nearly as good (xp)
― some dude, Saturday, 24 August 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link
it's an old country song that went semi-viral when some anonymous youtubers combined it with the cup dance (2009), culminating in the Pitch Perfect scene (2012), Anna Kendrick's hit (2013), and thousands of youtube covers:
