    I love that the slipknot frontman thinks he is some kind of authority on good music. Isnt slipknot generally disliked in the metal scene?

    With that said, Nickelback is still worse I think. Theyre close, IG is more on the pop side of it.

    I think the amount of time the culture at large, particularly the snarky internet culture, spends squawking about what bands are good or bad is pretty pathetic tbh

    if you love imagine dragons, fuck ya man do it up. hate em? whatever floats your boat.

    thinking that publicly shouting from a mountaintop that you think _______________ band sucks somehow validates your own preferences is a pretty bleak outlook

    Dragons is just popular to hate on now because theyre they newest complete sell outs. I dont find what ive heard from them terrible as much as just overproduced bland shit made for mass consumption.

    I don't want to say it b/c I fucking hate them but you're making me do it chad...

    Nickelback are actually quite talented.

    So, even though they're awful in every other way... they are not as bad as those other guys.

    Now I need to go throw up. Thanks Chad. Wait... are you the same Chad that leads Nickelback?!?!?!

    Also, I will admit to seeing Nickelback live... for about 20 seconds. Jerry Cantrell opened for them a looooooooong time ago (2001 or 2002)… I had 0 interest in staying after his set but the party I was with wanted to. Few notes and some pyro... yup - that's enough. Let's fucking go.

    Neither are "bad" - they both are comprosed of talented musicians and they can perform live, it's just that they make formulaic songs that sell.

    There are plenty of worse bands out there but these two just happen to be very popular and polarizing.

    Nickelback was my first real concert when I was 15 and it is still one of the best shows I've ever been to. Sounded great and put on a spectacle.

    Imagine Dragons is the ChumbaWamba of the 2010’s. We all rocked out to that one song, forgot about them, and then were continually surprised the band was still making music for the next twenty years.

    I once owned several Nickleback albums, but can’t remember so much as a hook from one single song. I think ‘Silver Side Up’ was the last I ever heard of them, so apologies if they got better after that.

    The Imagine Dragons singer sucked at the CFP halftime show. He couldnt sing for shit, it was awful.

    Nickelback being the worst band ever is the most exhausted take.


    That being said, I really dislike Imagine Dragons. I don't get their appeal. Thunder is one of my least favorite songs ever and would put them underneath Nickelback. I also don't think Nickelback is terrible.

    I will say, Friction by Imagine Dragons (song from the newest Mission Impossible) is pretty damn catchy

    Haven't heard enough of either to really say with finality. Maybe the terrible songs I listened to were their worst offerings? Fortunately I have more sense than to experiment further.

    There are plenty of bands that go on warped tour every year that I could post in here that are undeniably worse than both of these acts, but they aren't as popular or noteworthy so it isn't cool or fun to dump on them.

    I would argue Creed & Five Finger Death Punch are worse than both of these bands.

    I agree with this post. I watched a video of a Nickelback song with only Chad Kroeger's voice isolated and he actually sounded really good. It's just too bad their songwriting skills are absolute garbage.

    There's nothing redeeming whatsoever about Imagine Dragons other than that time they let Joe and Sal from Impractical Jokers put on a fake concert before their show.

    Voted Nickelback bc I have more exposure to them in my prime radio-listening days, nowadays it's fairly easy to avoid music I don't like.

    Nickleback is not just bad, but annoying.

    The battle was always Nickleback vs Creed, wasn't it? I don't think Imagine Dragons are quite that bad. I also hate Nickleback because I think some people probably didn't give Nicklecreek a listen to since they have confused them due to their names.
