Is Imagine Dragons just a reincarnation of Nickelback?

Coworker came in raving about the new Imagine Dragons album about how good it is. This guy has no musical knowledge whatsoever, but is apparently a big Imagine Dragons fan. Grant it, I haven't listened to their new album, didn't even know they had a new one released. That being said, their other stuff reminds me of Nickelback, the singer mostly raspy yelling rather than singing the whole time and most of their songs sound pretty similar. Just gets entirely too much play time on the radio IMO and going to turn into a meme or cliché'. What says the music board?

Your co-worker is a complete & utter idiot. Stay away from him & ignore him.

Nickelback is way better than imagine dragons

Sure that’s not saying much but everyone that’s 28-32 knows pretty much the entire “all the right reasons” album by nickelback

No thank you.

On the whole, Nickelback is light years better than ID.

they might be the worst band that I've ever seen live, and I love live music!

Other than sounding nothing alike, not really.

Don’t know. Pop music really isn’t on my radar. Pretty easy to avoid.

Nickelback is just generic and kind of boring. Imagine dragons is in your face purposely horrible

If Nickelback and Imagine Dragons went to Sonic, Nickelback would win in under 5 seconds.

I'll rock out to some "Radioactive" but after that "Thunder" song they were dead to me... so bad.

Agreed but Dark Horse was their best album.

I'll also add that Chad Kroeger is supposedly a genuinely good dude by all accounts.

I think I only know those two songs because of football broadcasts. Nickleback was a pretty big mainstream rock band, at least for a couple years. I'm not sure how they became the cliche for pop rock, but I guess it's because they were kind of post-hairband. Though I couldn't name any of their songs off the top of my head besides Rockstar.

My two year old loves Thunder.... So that's one fan. Not even sure where he first heard it. Walks around the house saying "lexa Tunder pease"
