Justin Bieber's later music completely turned me around on him and now I kinda appreciate some of his stuff from like 2013. Not going out of my way to listen to him but I'd be lying if a few of his songs weren't on my playlist. Same with Bruno Mars when I first heard Treasure. I was actually mad that it was by him but now I'm a huge fan.
Foo Fighters among all these bands feels weird. Not a single song from these bands even comes close to Everlong. Battle Cry and Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons are actually decent songs.
I actually think that twenty one pilots are a very creative band/duo, they can go from a piano ballad to a rap track and then to a rock song very easily, few artists can do that
@@UziStorm_1727 I didn't said they're the only ones, but few artists are like that. Some I can remember are Linkin park, gorillaz, blur, and few others
They’re very creative and I always give bands points for large arrays of instruments and genres but Tyler Joseph’s vocals are just so whiny it puts me off. Also Shy Away sounds like an obnoxiously generic radio rock song
Bro, give the album TRENCH a chance. Edit: by the amount of likes in this comment, I guess there are quite a few top fans in your fanbase Mike, we insissst
00's Maroon 5 was actually a really good and creative pop rock band up until 2012 when they decided to hop unto every trend in rock/hiphop/electronic music and made the constant evolving "present day throwaway pop" their lead genre
Here’s Ten of my choice: • Re-arranged - Limp Bizkit. • Popular Monster - Falling In Reverse. • So Far Away - Staind. • Here Without You - 3 Doors Down. • Onset - Buckcherry. • I’m Just A Kid (If I had to pick) - Simple Plan. • Fiend - Coal Chamber. • Drops Of Jupiter - Train. • Still Frame - Trapt. • Bullets - Creed.

Great video, Mike! As an Over-40-Super-Special-High-Quality-100%-WhatevertheHelltheRestofitWasYouSaidBecauseMyBrainisOld-WhereAreMyCarKeysandMyOatmeal-Music-Critic, I actually agree with you on several points: 1. Foo Fighters - Never really a fan. Aside from Dave Grohl, I can only name Pat Smear (as he toured with Nirvana as their guitarist) and Taylor Hawkins (their drummer; only because he seems to be a non-benign growth that's always attached to Dave.) I find it pretty sad that I can only name 3 band members, which reinforces the fact that the group is so generic, the rest of the band is essentially forgettable (to me) after all of these years; this is not to say they aren't good musicians (individually), or that they're crappy people, or they can't put on a decent live show. I'm saying Dave's drumming is far above (way far above) his singing and guitar playing, and I would strain to identify Foo Fighters' songs out of a random mix. 2. "Harder to Breathe" - Maroon 5 : Very first song I heard from them back in the day when I would listen to what we used to call a "radio" while I was at work. Aside from that vocal effect you mentioned, I always liked the scratchy guitars and hi-hat fills during the verses, and the "mini-breakdown" that occurs during the second part of every chorus. I could type a novel (like I already haven't typed one) but I love this channel, and I appreciated today's video a lot. 😎👍🏻
Now I love the Foos, but they do get a little repetitive from time to time. I’d say most of the love comes from the fact that all the members are just genuine people who want nothing more than to rock out and make people happy
My personal favorite Imagine Dragons song is “I’m So Sorry”, it just sounds super unique (for them) and it really kind of deviates from their normal sound
@@ALGDabs Yes! Night Visions is a decent indie album and Smoke + Mirrors is a good (tho a little basic) rock album. I listened to both a lot in middle school, and they introduced me to better music in the genres

@@caseydale5862 ive only spent about £50 in total on them though. I tend to buy them second hand so they’re much cheaper. I sometimes get some for 20p, and my most expensive was £8
My favorites from each band Maroon 5- Harder To Breathe (Songs About Jane is actually a great album. Check out “The Sun” and “Shiver”) Imagine Dragons- Amsterdam or Warriors. Warriors might be the heaviest song Imagine Dragons has ever done. Night Visions was the first album I ever bought. Foo Fighters- The Sky Is A Neighborhood. I agree with your thoughts on Foo Fighters Twenty One Pilots- Car Radio. And TOP is actually really good, check out their album Trench. The other groups I’ve either never listened to or told myself I’d never listen to them.
most of the hollywood undead songs are ironic, the old ones from 2008-2013 especially. New stuff from 2017-present is awesome and i like it. So if you havent take a listen to their 3 most recent albums (five, New Empire volumes 1 and 2)
Self-Titled and Trench are my two favorites of theirs, self-titled for the brilliant songwriting and Trench for the unique neo-psychedelic vibe and the production is just great
You should listen to Limp Bizkit's first album, it has a lot of pretty great songs actually. Although my favorite by them is Take A Look Around, which was from Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water.
@@georgeelim Have you listened to Song's About Jane? It's actually unreal. It's a big decline from that album onward's but SAJ is great. Top 3 1. Shiver 2. The Sun 3. Tangled Give it a chance, it just might grow on you.
shy away... is.. the best tøp song in ur opinion? 😐 damn u gotta listen to their old songs and rethink that decision again- they had such good songs a few years ago! :)
Twenty one pilots first 4 albums are actually really good. Imagine Dragons have also good songs in my opinion like: Shots, Smoke and Mirrors, Demons, Radioactive (ft Kendrick Lamar), I Bet My Life, etc...
i saw twenty one pilots in the thumbnail so i came to check out what you thought of them, since they were the first band i got into and i really like them. i liked the video less than 30 seconds into it, because of what you said about opinions on music, i wish everyone thought like that because i know i might get hated on for liking a band like twenty one pilots while at the same time liking stuff like punk rock or classic rock. my music taste is pretty diverse so sometimes liking bands that sound completely different is hard since people don't agree (which is 100% ok and i'm fine with it) and many don't respect it. thank you for sharing your high-quality official and super special music critic wisdom with us.
5sos has amazing lyrics like “the ghost of survivors guilt can be so unkind” or “all my life i’ve been waiting for moments to come” or “the darkest night never seemed so bright with you by my side” THEY ARE LYRCAL GENIUSES
@@southsider3542 I disagree. Self-titled I barely count as a Foo Fighters album since it wasn't a band at the time, but it's a great album, and very different from their others. It's the grungiest of all of their albums, which makes since because it was fresh out of Nirvana and some of the songs were written while Dave was in Nirvana. Cobain even heard a few of them before In Utero came out. The Colour and the Shape is (in my opinion) their best album, because it is the heaviest, and also because their best songs are all on there. Monkey Wrench (despite being a little generic-sounding and even in a major key) is still pretty good, My Poor Brain is good (underrated), and obviously Everlong, probably one of the best songs I know of. There are a couple weird songs, but I still listen to the album start to finish when I listen to it. Doll is odd and just doesn't fit, Wind Up is just boring to me, See You is boring and kind of repetitive, and The Colour and The Shape (the song) doesn't fit at the end of the album; it's out of place. There is Nothing Left To Lose is definitely a more experimental album (Dave said so himself), and definitely worse than their other albums. Most of the songs are definitely generic, and just not special. Except for Stacked Actors. That song is great. One by One is definitely a very different album from their others, but one of my favorites, weirdly. All My Life, everyone knows, is one of their more popular songs, Low is kind of weird, as is the music video for it, Have it All is ok, Times Like These is great, Disenchanted Lullaby and Tired of You aren't amazing, Halo and Lonely as You I personally like a lot, but they aren't popular. The last three are Overdrive, which is low-energy, Burn Away, which is repetitive, and Come Back, which I think starts off good but should not be 7 minutes long. This was an album the band had conflict during the making of it. Dave said they "rushed into it and rushed out of it" so they weren't really the quality album they were hoping for. Now everything after One By One is the same, right? In Your Honor is definitely very experimental (literally an entire acoustic album on disc 2 but you say they don't ever experiment), with Best of You being the one hit on the album. I like DOA and Free Me personally, but the rest of the album is pretty good too. I don't usually listen to the acoustic half, but I don't listen to acoustic music much anyways so that explains it. Similar to One by One definitely, but not the same at all. You couldn't take a song from one of the two and fit it well on the other.. Echoes, Silence Patience and Grace was definitely experimental, doing kind of a combination of In Your Honor and playing acoustic and hard rock at once. The Pretender is obviously amazing, Let it Die is one of my favorite songs EVER, and Long Road to Ruin is great, but the rest of the album is definitely experimental in terms of being too acoustic. Last song is literally piano and a symphony. Since that album didn't perform the greatest and got mixed reviews, they changed it up with Wasting Light and went full hard rock. Literally recorded in a garage with no digital recording software, it's probably their best album, maybe not in front of Colour and the Shape, it's tough. Bridge Burning is great, Rope is literally the song Mike mentioned, Dear Rosemary is good, White Limo is kinda different but I respect it since Lemmy is in the music video, Arlandria is kinda meh, These Days is awesome, and the rest of the album is good, especially Walk. After Wasting Light, Sonic Highways came out, which is where your point begins to stand -- a disappointing album. Something From Nothing is an awesome song, but the rest of the album is just kind of boring. I've not yet listened to the full thing because I think to myself, "Maybe I should listen to a better album instead of giving this one a 17th chance". Concrete and Gold is not great either. T-Shirt sounds like a barbershop quartet and Run is repetitive as hell. Disappointing and mediocre. I don't even know what else is on the album. Last is Medicine at Midnight, which was literally this year, and I have listened to Making a Fire, which is kind of odd with a choir, and Waiting on a War, which is on every radio station 24/7 and is a letdown for a Foo Fighters song. When you say everything sounds the same since One by One, replace One by One with Sonic Highways and you are 100% correct. If you actually took the time to read this, thank you and have a nice day. Edit: I also see you are a Sox fan. I'm a Cubs fan so we have another thing to disagree on if you want to argue.
Yeah the thing I never expected to say was that Maroon 5 made me appreciate the grand piano. The way they use piano to add this dark brooding almost classical texture on those first two albums is amazing
@@marianolaguzzi Nah Blurryface is kinda all over the place, and tho it has some songs that are nice and I like the lore, it has some songs that sound really bad. (Fairly Local, Doubt, f.e) Vessel has a lot of pretty good songs, but it's a little boring as an album experience, I'd say. There aren't any bad songs here, and I really love f.e Semi Automatic, Migrain and Holding Onto You, but this album feels kinda shallow musically. Scaled and Icy is not terrible, but it is super disappointing musically, and it's not super strong lyrically (tho I love the lore once again, and the live experience thing was brilliant). If you want to read my full review to this album I'll link it, I've given it something like a 6.4 if I'm not mistaken. Trench, on the other hand, is so versetile and well produced and well written. From the intensity of Jumpsuit to the thought-provoking Neon Gravestones, from the awesome flow and production on Levitate to the badass Pet Cheetah. This album is easily their best to date, both conceptually and musically, and it's their only album which I want a physical copy of thus far.
@@FlappySock "each to their own", like "it's a matter of taste"? And anyway, I specifically don't have clear genre preferences - when music is good, it's good in my opinion. But it's totally okay if you enjoy their early stuff more :) Btw, what are your favorite albums? If you're more into punk and stuff
@@FlappySock American Idiot is good! Toxicity is great, and I used to love The Sufferer and the Witness. Quite solid as well. I think you'll like IDLES, Joy as an Act of Resistance is a great start. And if you're into System and you haven't heard Mezmerize yet, definitely give it a try.
Thank goodness there's at least one other person who isn't in love with the Foo Fighters. They have a few good songs though: My Hero, Everlong, and yes Rope. The guitar riff on My Hero is awesome, in Rope they actually try something different, and Everlong they actually (gasp) use some minor chords!
You forever marred yourself in my eyes with Foo Fighters, Mike, but partially redeemed yourself with Harder to Breathe (definitely one of the few good Maroon 5 songs)
ngl there are actually some bangers off of Imagine Dragons' Smoke and mirrors album, mainly just that one album, but there are other songs that are the exception to that rule.
I think the reason Imagine Dragons gets a lot of hate is because radio stations seems to only recognize the albums Evolve and Origins. They wouldn't get as much hate if S+M was their most popular album.
@@iliketrains3495 Oh very cool! Night Visions was good too. Not as good Smoke + Mirrors but still better than Evolve and Origins. Also about Thunder, is that version of the song uploaded to anywhere on the internet? I would like to hear it.
Best songs by bands i dislike include: Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons, New Born by Muse, Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2, Freak on a Leash by Korn, and nothing that Coldplay has ever made.
@@adamushu I never could get into the vocals mostly, it’s not anything particularly bad but the music didn’t hold enough for me to want to tune out the vocals.
Unpopular Opinions: I've never heard a Foo Fighters song that impressed or hooked me in. They're so painfully generic yet somehow don't get any hate which many of their generic rock counterparts get, and Dave Grohl has such a faux cool, nice-guy persona, and it really gets to me. I personally really like "Someday" & "Lullaby" by Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes", I know everyone says they "butchered the orignal", but then again I never cared for the original so nothing is ruined for me. The only songs by Imagine Dragons I like are "Bad Liar" and "Wrecked", much more heartfelt than any of their other stuff.
It's great to hear someone else say they find the foo fighters boring and generic. I remember when they started playing Rope on the radio and thinking, "hey, this is actually bearable." Songs About Jane seemed like the one decent M5 album, but it's been well over a decade since I listened to it. They made okay music until the aural hell Moves Like Jagger came out.
Twenty one pilots actually write really good and deep lyrics about serious topics, that is why i like them. Neon Gravestones is a lyrical masterpiece in my opinion
i always get so annoyed when music critics review tøp songs without diving into the lyrics and the stories. they are an integral part of the songs so it’s ridiculous to skip over them
It’s Time is pretty good but not even a highlight from Night Visions imo. Amsterdam and Hear Me are much stronger. Fairly generic, but just excellent tracks regardless.
My first thought for this video is Christmas In June by AJR. AJR is my least favorite band of all time, but Christmas In June is an actually pretty emotional song that doesn't have all the unbearable AJR-isms that pollute their other songs
I won’t act like Foo Fighters is the most groundbreaking band or anything especially considering what the 90s and 00s had to offer, but they’re always enjoyable and I don’t see how anyone could dislike them, their first 3 albums and Wasting Light are all good, and while I haven’t checked out their new album yet I’ve heard good things
@@calebdickerson2003 agreed. The Color and The Shape is one of my favorite albums of all time, along with the Nothing Left to Lose. They make solid rock, and I like all of the band members. Their new one is not bad, it’s worth a listen. It’s different. I still like concrete and gold better, maybe because I heard some of those songs live.
@@xNimrod97x There Is Nothing Left to Lose I found in one my dad's CD cases a few years back and I burned it in my iTunes library mostly for Learn to Fly and was pleasantly surprised by how great the rest of the album was, there aren’t many bands as joyfully likeable as the Foo Fighters
I feel like I *should* like the Foo Fighters way more than I actually do. I think they have a bunch of good songs, but for whatever reason, I just feel no passion for them whatsoever as a band. Also Nickelback's "Side Of A Bullet" has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
A good Dimebag Darrel tribute where they actually got the permission to use an unreleased Dimebag solo shouldn't be a guilty pleasure no matter the band
When it comes to *Maroon 5* one song that I think should be mentioned is *"Closure"* The first three minutes is your usual maroon 5 stuff, but then it leads to this giant instrumental break that goes on for 10 minutes. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything but it's just such an interesting and rather unexpected move from them. It made me appreciate them just a bit more
Bullet is the only song by Hollywood Undead that I genuinely like lol, there's like one more I listen to but only because I loved it in 7th grade so it gives me nostalgia
@@LumiNyte well, my mom and dad don't like them, my dad because of politics, and my mom because she just doesn't like how Billie sings. My dad is a conservative, and while my mom agrees with their political lyrics majority of the time, she still isn't that big of a fan.
Foo Fighters were incredible through their first three records. I still love them but it’s been a slow change into what they are now. They got into a situation where people criticized them for always sounding the same, so they tried some new things and everyone hated that as well. When you’re that popular it’s kind of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. 🤷♂️
I sang "It's Time" for chorus in middle school as a baritone, and though I didn't have a grasp on what chords were, I could tell there was something off in the arrangement.
my favorite Hollywood Undead song is either "Paradise Lost" (lyrics are surprisingly deep) or "From the Ground" (has screams and a lot of heavy sections) my favorite Nickelback song is either "Just to Get High" (edgier, darker sound than normal Nickelback) or "Feed the Machine" (deep lyrics + kinda experimental for Nickelback standards)
From The Ground is the song that got me into Hollywood Undead. My late cousin showed me that song on the way to a track meet when we were in junior high.
As someone who used to be a die-hard imagine dragons fan, but then got exposed to metal and actually began to study music, almost none of their songs held up for me. Some of my old favorites I basically threw in the garbage. There's only a few songs of theirs that I still enjoy, and those are I'm So Sorry and Battle Cry. The closest things to metal ID will ever produce. Smoke and Mirrors is Underrated, it's soft and light, not heavy, but it has some beautiful moments too. Amsterdam is also pretty cool, but uh yeah other than that there's really nothing I can listen to from them anymore.

Self-Titled and Trench are my two favorites of theirs, self-titled for the brilliant songwriting and Trench for the unique neo-psychedelic vibe and the production is just great
We want a best rock album tournament
You should listen to Limp Bizkit's first album, it has a lot of pretty great songs actually. Although my favorite by them is Take A Look Around, which was from Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water.
Maroon 5's first album is actually really good.
It's a ride and a half. My all-time favourite
Ew maroon 5 sucks
@@georgeelim Have you listened to Song's About Jane? It's actually unreal. It's a big decline from that album onward's but SAJ is great.
Top 3
1. Shiver
2. The Sun
3. Tangled
Give it a chance, it just might grow on you.
shy away... is.. the best tøp song in ur opinion? 😐 damn u gotta listen to their old songs and rethink that decision again- they had such good songs a few years ago! :)
trench is their best tho
anyone else click because a band they like is in the thumbnail?
yep
ofc
anyone else just because its magik mike?
@@thebritishmewtwo1994 yep lol
i had to click after seeing foo fighters in the thumbnail
I respecfully disagree with some of your picks, and I hope to see more videos like this to see your and other peoples opinions.
Twenty one pilots first 4 albums are actually really good.
Imagine Dragons have also good songs in my opinion like: Shots, Smoke and Mirrors, Demons, Radioactive (ft Kendrick Lamar), I Bet My Life, etc...
Trench: Allow me to introduce myself
I love these videos Magikal Michael
i saw twenty one pilots in the thumbnail so i came to check out what you thought of them, since they were the first band i got into and i really like them. i liked the video less than 30 seconds into it, because of what you said about opinions on music, i wish everyone thought like that because i know i might get hated on for liking a band like twenty one pilots while at the same time liking stuff like punk rock or classic rock. my music taste is pretty diverse so sometimes liking bands that sound completely different is hard since people don't agree (which is 100% ok and i'm fine with it) and many don't respect it.
thank you for sharing your high-quality official and super special music critic wisdom with us.
Love your pfp
haha thanks
5sos has amazing lyrics like “the ghost of survivors guilt can be so unkind” or “all my life i’ve been waiting for moments to come” or “the darkest night never seemed so bright with you by my side” THEY ARE LYRCAL GENIUSES
"It's time" is also my favorite song from Imagine Dragons, which I'll admit isn't saying much.
Amsterdam is the best Imagine Dragons song because they managed to have a sense of subtlety and dynamics that they haven't shown since
Dream probably fulfills those two things better
I will say Foo Fighters is not the most experimental band ever, but they have not made a bad album. Disappointing albums, yes, but bad albums, no.
They've made the same mediocre garbage since One By One
@southsider 35
That’s a bold statement for someone whose only video on UA-cam is a Foo Fighters concert clip
@@brandonblack_17 Okay? I guess I'm sorry I dissed a mediocre band and you get upset about it. They've made bad albums, that's the truth
@southsider 35 I really don’t care about it, you have your opinion, I can have mine.
@@southsider3542 I disagree. Self-titled I barely count as a Foo Fighters album since it wasn't a band at the time, but it's a great album, and very different from their others. It's the grungiest of all of their albums, which makes since because it was fresh out of Nirvana and some of the songs were written while Dave was in Nirvana. Cobain even heard a few of them before In Utero came out. The Colour and the Shape is (in my opinion) their best album, because it is the heaviest, and also because their best songs are all on there. Monkey Wrench (despite being a little generic-sounding and even in a major key) is still pretty good, My Poor Brain is good (underrated), and obviously Everlong, probably one of the best songs I know of. There are a couple weird songs, but I still listen to the album start to finish when I listen to it. Doll is odd and just doesn't fit, Wind Up is just boring to me, See You is boring and kind of repetitive, and The Colour and The Shape (the song) doesn't fit at the end of the album; it's out of place. There is Nothing Left To Lose is definitely a more experimental album (Dave said so himself), and definitely worse than their other albums. Most of the songs are definitely generic, and just not special. Except for Stacked Actors. That song is great. One by One is definitely a very different album from their others, but one of my favorites, weirdly. All My Life, everyone knows, is one of their more popular songs, Low is kind of weird, as is the music video for it, Have it All is ok, Times Like These is great, Disenchanted Lullaby and Tired of You aren't amazing, Halo and Lonely as You I personally like a lot, but they aren't popular. The last three are Overdrive, which is low-energy, Burn Away, which is repetitive, and Come Back, which I think starts off good but should not be 7 minutes long. This was an album the band had conflict during the making of it. Dave said they "rushed into it and rushed out of it" so they weren't really the quality album they were hoping for. Now everything after One By One is the same, right? In Your Honor is definitely very experimental (literally an entire acoustic album on disc 2 but you say they don't ever experiment), with Best of You being the one hit on the album. I like DOA and Free Me personally, but the rest of the album is pretty good too. I don't usually listen to the acoustic half, but I don't listen to acoustic music much anyways so that explains it. Similar to One by One definitely, but not the same at all. You couldn't take a song from one of the two and fit it well on the other.. Echoes, Silence Patience and Grace was definitely experimental, doing kind of a combination of In Your Honor and playing acoustic and hard rock at once. The Pretender is obviously amazing, Let it Die is one of my favorite songs EVER, and Long Road to Ruin is great, but the rest of the album is definitely experimental in terms of being too acoustic. Last song is literally piano and a symphony. Since that album didn't perform the greatest and got mixed reviews, they changed it up with Wasting Light and went full hard rock. Literally recorded in a garage with no digital recording software, it's probably their best album, maybe not in front of Colour and the Shape, it's tough. Bridge Burning is great, Rope is literally the song Mike mentioned, Dear Rosemary is good, White Limo is kinda different but I respect it since Lemmy is in the music video, Arlandria is kinda meh, These Days is awesome, and the rest of the album is good, especially Walk. After Wasting Light, Sonic Highways came out, which is where your point begins to stand -- a disappointing album. Something From Nothing is an awesome song, but the rest of the album is just kind of boring. I've not yet listened to the full thing because I think to myself, "Maybe I should listen to a better album instead of giving this one a 17th chance". Concrete and Gold is not great either. T-Shirt sounds like a barbershop quartet and Run is repetitive as hell. Disappointing and mediocre. I don't even know what else is on the album. Last is Medicine at Midnight, which was literally this year, and I have listened to Making a Fire, which is kind of odd with a choir, and Waiting on a War, which is on every radio station 24/7 and is a letdown for a Foo Fighters song. When you say everything sounds the same since One by One, replace One by One with Sonic Highways and you are 100% correct. If you actually took the time to read this, thank you and have a nice day.
Edit: I also see you are a Sox fan. I'm a Cubs fan so we have another thing to disagree on if you want to argue.
When he said that they were all gonna go downhill from here, I thought the next band would be a day to remember
there are way better 21p songs that shy away
Maroon 5s early stuff is so good that I can’t bring myself to hate them
Songs about Jane is honestly a good album.
@@mikey_strange I got it on CD about two weeks ago and I’ve already listened to it about 15 times. I love that album so much.
Yeah the thing I never expected to say was that Maroon 5 made me appreciate the grand piano. The way they use piano to add this dark brooding almost classical texture on those first two albums is amazing
They were always just meh to me. I never loved them, but I could listen to their music without wanting to break something.
@@fueledbypaintwater - same. I can tolerate Makes Me Wonder, One More Night, Sugar, Harder to Breathe, This Love...
I kinda like "battle cry" by Imagine Dragons.
The groundbreaking park about it’s time is that a Slipknot ex percussionist (not Chris Fehn) produced it Brandon Darner
We missed you, without your videos I felt constipated like Chad Kroeger

Bro
Trench is such a good album
@Ron לול
Basically every tøp album is such a good album
@@marianolaguzzi Nah
Blurryface is kinda all over the place, and tho it has some songs that are nice and I like the lore, it has some songs that sound really bad. (Fairly Local, Doubt, f.e)
Vessel has a lot of pretty good songs, but it's a little boring as an album experience, I'd say. There aren't any bad songs here, and I really love f.e Semi Automatic, Migrain and Holding Onto You, but this album feels kinda shallow musically.
Scaled and Icy is not terrible, but it is super disappointing musically, and it's not super strong lyrically (tho I love the lore once again, and the live experience thing was brilliant). If you want to read my full review to this album I'll link it, I've given it something like a 6.4 if I'm not mistaken.
Trench, on the other hand, is so versetile and well produced and well written. From the intensity of Jumpsuit to the thought-provoking Neon Gravestones, from the awesome flow and production on Levitate to the badass Pet Cheetah. This album is easily their best to date, both conceptually and musically, and it's their only album which I want a physical copy of thus far.
@@FlappySock "each to their own", like "it's a matter of taste"?
And anyway, I specifically don't have clear genre preferences - when music is good, it's good in my opinion. But it's totally okay if you enjoy their early stuff more :)
Btw, what are your favorite albums? If you're more into punk and stuff
@@FlappySock American Idiot is good! Toxicity is great, and I used to love The Sufferer and the Witness. Quite solid as well. I think you'll like IDLES, Joy as an Act of Resistance is a great start. And if you're into System and you haven't heard Mezmerize yet, definitely give it a try.
Thank goodness there's at least one other person who isn't in love with the Foo Fighters. They have a few good songs though: My Hero, Everlong, and yes Rope. The guitar riff on My Hero is awesome, in Rope they actually try something different, and Everlong they actually (gasp) use some minor chords!
I enjoy My Hero as well, most likely because it was used in a commercial back in the day when I was waiting for Takeshi's Castle to come on 😂
The first album is great, the rest are decent at most
I don’t love them even though Everlong is no kidding one of my favorite songs of all time.
upset that foo fighters made this list but to each their own😞✋🏽
You hate Limp bizkit and Foo fighters? So unexpected xd
I love Twenty Øne Piløts and I agree ❤️
Limp Bizkit is just dumb fun and I'm tired of prettying they're not
That's how they should be seen, even if Fred tries his damn hardest to look deep.
You forever marred yourself in my eyes with Foo Fighters, Mike, but partially redeemed yourself with Harder to Breathe (definitely one of the few good Maroon 5 songs)
ngl there are actually some bangers off of Imagine Dragons' Smoke and mirrors album, mainly just that one album, but there are other songs that are the exception to that rule.
I think the reason Imagine Dragons gets a lot of hate is because radio stations seems to only recognize the albums Evolve and Origins. They wouldn't get as much hate if S+M was their most popular album.
@@LumiNyte yeeeaaah...
@@LumiNyte in the UK they only seem to play songs from Night Visions, and a version of Thunder which gets rid of the pitch shifts
Also S+M is their only #1 album over here so I feel proud in a way
@@iliketrains3495 Oh very cool! Night Visions was good too. Not as good Smoke + Mirrors but still better than Evolve and Origins.
Also about Thunder, is that version of the song uploaded to anywhere on the internet? I would like to hear it.
Best songs by bands i dislike include: Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons, New Born by Muse, Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2, Freak on a Leash by Korn, and nothing that Coldplay has ever made.
For Muse I would say Knights of Cydonia
Just curious, why do you dislike Muse?
@@adamushu I never could get into the vocals mostly, it’s not anything particularly bad but the music didn’t hold enough for me to want to tune out the vocals.
Coldplay are fucking boss man 🤣
Bruh you ever listened to a rush of blood to the head
Unpopular Opinions:
I've never heard a Foo Fighters song that impressed or hooked me in. They're so painfully generic yet somehow don't get any hate which many of their generic rock counterparts get, and Dave Grohl has such a faux cool, nice-guy persona, and it really gets to me.
I personally really like "Someday" & "Lullaby" by Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes", I know everyone says they "butchered the orignal", but then again I never cared for the original so nothing is ruined for me.
The only songs by Imagine Dragons I like are "Bad Liar" and "Wrecked", much more heartfelt than any of their other stuff.
Listen to trench. Shy away kind of bad compared to most of that album
I was thinking that shy away was a pretty boring song, probably one of their worst all things considered
"You shouldn't care what other people listen to"
Comment section: *caring what other people listen to*
look at this photograph
It's great to hear someone else say they find the foo fighters boring and generic. I remember when they started playing Rope on the radio and thinking, "hey, this is actually bearable."
Songs About Jane seemed like the one decent M5 album, but it's been well over a decade since I listened to it. They made okay music until the aural hell Moves Like Jagger came out.
Twenty one pilots actually write really good and deep lyrics about serious topics, that is why i like them. Neon Gravestones is a lyrical masterpiece in my opinion
suddenly i need to listen to trench again
i always get so annoyed when music critics review tøp songs without diving into the lyrics and the stories. they are an integral part of the songs so it’s ridiculous to skip over them
Neon gravestones is my favourite top song
It’s Time is pretty good but not even a highlight from Night Visions imo. Amsterdam and Hear Me are much stronger. Fairly generic, but just excellent tracks regardless.
Bleeding Out doesn’t get the respect it deserves. I love the eerie feeling you get when listening to that song
@@AR18123 Yeah I love Bleeding Out. The folk clap thing is extremely cliched, but the rest of it has this epic surge of energy
Demons
Amsterdam is a gem
My favorite Imagine Dragons song is Inactive by Al Yankovic
Where did he get those posters they’re so awesome
Now that's an interesting video concept. I wouldn't mind to see more talk about bands like that.
I too, am Broken in Cyde
Thank you for being correct about Foo Fighters.
That's called opinion. I personally really like the FF
My first thought for this video is Christmas In June by AJR. AJR is my least favorite band of all time, but Christmas In June is an actually pretty emotional song that doesn't have all the unbearable AJR-isms that pollute their other songs
Imagine Dragons is actually more like a pop rock band. Unlike most other pop singers or bands they use instruments
From 2009-2015 they were poprock. In 2016-2018 they became more poppy. Now they’re trying to make songs from both styles in a completely balanced way.
Wasting Light by the Foos is a masterpiece.
Without doubt my favourite album
I won’t act like Foo Fighters is the most groundbreaking band or anything especially considering what the 90s and 00s had to offer, but they’re always enjoyable and I don’t see how anyone could dislike them, their first 3 albums and Wasting Light are all good, and while I haven’t checked out their new album yet I’ve heard good things
@@calebdickerson2003 agreed. The Color and The Shape is one of my favorite albums of all time, along with the Nothing Left to Lose. They make solid rock, and I like all of the band members.
Their new one is not bad, it’s worth a listen. It’s different. I still like concrete and gold better, maybe because I heard some of those songs live.
@@xNimrod97x There Is Nothing Left to Lose I found in one my dad's CD cases a few years back and I burned it in my iTunes library mostly for Learn to Fly and was pleasantly surprised by how great the rest of the album was, there aren’t many bands as joyfully likeable as the Foo Fighters
I feel like I *should* like the Foo Fighters way more than I actually do. I think they have a bunch of good songs, but for whatever reason, I just feel no passion for them whatsoever as a band.
Also Nickelback's "Side Of A Bullet" has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.
A good Dimebag Darrel tribute where they actually got the permission to use an unreleased Dimebag solo shouldn't be a guilty pleasure no matter the band
Maroon 5s debut album ‘songs about Jane’ is actually a decent album
Nah bro
Foo Fighters is overrated AF
tøp: chlorine
maroon 5: this love
imagine dragons: ready aim fire/sucker for pain (can you tell i like superheroes)
When it comes to *Maroon 5* one song that I think should be mentioned is *"Closure"*
The first three minutes is your usual maroon 5 stuff, but then it leads to this giant instrumental break that goes on for 10 minutes. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything but it's just such an interesting and rather unexpected move from them. It made me appreciate them just a bit more
For Nickelback I like some of their heavier stuff, for Imagine Dragons I like Hear Me from the first album.
You should do rankings of your favorite bands and albums. Really enjoy these kinds of videos, you should do more of them. You're a homie my dood
I very much agree with the foo fighter statement
1:18 yea i can agree, their very popular songs aren't the greatest, you just gotta dive deep into their music and the lore

@@LumiNyte well, my mom and dad don't like them, my dad because of politics, and my mom because she just doesn't like how Billie sings. My dad is a conservative, and while my mom agrees with their political lyrics majority of the time, she still isn't that big of a fan.
Harder to breathe is kind of a funny song
The breakdown in nookie is severely underrated
Foo Fighters were incredible through their first three records. I still love them but it’s been a slow change into what they are now. They got into a situation where people criticized them for always sounding the same, so they tried some new things and everyone hated that as well. When you’re that popular it’s kind of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. 🤷♂️
I actually liked their last two albums more than most others I’ve heard because they are at least trying something different
I sang "It's Time" for chorus in middle school as a baritone, and though I didn't have a grasp on what chords were, I could tell there was something off in the arrangement.
my favorite Hollywood Undead song is either "Paradise Lost" (lyrics are surprisingly deep) or "From the Ground" (has screams and a lot of heavy sections)
my favorite Nickelback song is either "Just to Get High" (edgier, darker sound than normal Nickelback) or "Feed the Machine" (deep lyrics + kinda experimental for Nickelback standards)
From The Ground is the song that got me into Hollywood Undead. My late cousin showed me that song on the way to a track meet when we were in junior high.
I really like Foo Fighters so I’m kinda shocked that you’d put them here
But Rope is also my favourite song by them so we’ll just call it even
I think he just put them on this list for some controversy/views tbh, how anyone could dislike them is beyond belief

Phoenix is amazing. And yes, Shy Away does have some Phoenix vibes to it. I never caught that until you said it.
Limp Bizkit is a great band with a great bassist (that's the only "music" part that I know about so don't quiz me 😂) but they're cursed with durst
Limo bizkit has some.of the greatest musician of their times, but fred durst screwed it up
As someone who used to be a die-hard imagine dragons fan, but then got exposed to metal and actually began to study music, almost none of their songs held up for me. Some of my old favorites I basically threw in the garbage. There's only a few songs of theirs that I still enjoy, and those are
I'm So Sorry and Battle Cry. The closest things to metal ID will ever produce.
Smoke and Mirrors is Underrated, it's soft and light, not heavy, but it has some beautiful moments too. Amsterdam is also pretty cool, but uh yeah other than that there's really nothing I can listen to from them anymore.
