worst Imagine Dragons single

How many ilx members do we need to reach cloture on any debate re: Imagine Dragons being analogous to Jamiroquai

when you gonna learn

if it pleases the court I can withdraw my statement

Like, Candlebox or Stone Temple Pilots? Aren’t they the alt-butt pioneers?

That's my point: that that whole mode of radio rock--surely the blandest strain to come out of the grunge era--has remained relevant over the years and continues to evolves and is basically becoming an essential part of how pop sees itself

Oh, yeah. Agreed. I think you could also look at hair metal and nu-metal / rap-rock as part of that tradition.

And as far as Imagine Dragons being the “new” anything, I think they are the new Incubus. Not as terrible as Limp Bizkit or Nickelback, maybe even a smart or decent person or two in the band, but also yes that boring strain of alt rock.

"Thunder" is the dudebro "Drop It Like It's Hot"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The greatest punishment I have ever inflicted on myself is making “thunder” the first song I teach to my 6-8 year old ukulele students. It’s just too easy and they all love it, but I really feel the weight of the sun I’m inflicting on the world every time I teach it.

Hot take, relative to the rest of their work (very strong emphasis on RELATIVE), on top of the world isn’t that bad.

Relative to anything else, still a terrible song

At least you can take thunder slightly tongue-in-cheek if you squint hard enough and ignore all evidence to the contrary. Radioactive and believer though……. You can’t give them that benefit of the doubt. They should be the equal winners in this poll
