Not really a fan of their music, but after having seen a clip of the Imagine Dragons guy on The Ellen Show and the clip below, I like what the lead singer seems to be about.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-kxqt41WSs
Interesting HBO movie (Believer) about the lead singer's fight with depression and his effort to get the Mormon Church (he is a Mormon) to accept LGBT kids.
As the father of an 11 yob, Imagine Dragons gets a lot of play. I won't say it is great, I will say that it is better than 90% of what is currently played on commercial radio.
Concur.For my 12 yob, it's either them or 21 Pilots.My 11 yog, however, shares my taste in music, unfortunately for her (indie/alt rock). She came home from school the other day and declared, "Dad, no one has ever heard of any of the bands I like."
Will debate the relative merits of Van Halen with David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar.
I get that, too. My 11 yob has an near encyclopedic knowledge of 80's stuff and will bust out a lyric anytime somebody says something that closely approximates said lyric. Along with Irish drinking songs. Will debate the relative merits of Van Halen with David Lee Roth vs Sammy Hagar. Ponders why he can't sing like the guy from AC/DC. (whisky and cigarettes, young man, whisky and cigarettes), dreams of hitting that impossible note at the end of 'Take on Me'....... yeah, I am a crap father.
Along with Irish drinking songs.
Couldn't agree more (plus the 21 Pilots mention) for 10yob and 12yob.My proud moment this week was I had Audioslave on and my 10 year old says "never heard of them", so i ask him 'ignoring the singer who does the band sound like?' *2 minute pause* "kinda sounds like RATM".
Historical hot take: INXS very underrated.
RATM is one of my faves. First time I heard Audioslave, I absolutely loved them. Only took a couple songs to think, Hey, sounds like Tom Morello on guitar.
I try to explain to my 12 and 10 year olds that a electronic drum beat and auto tune isnt music. I'm not having much luck.
