Top 10 Bands Which are Killing Rock
This list is made up of those Modern Rock Bands with bad/cheesy/insanely poppy lyrics. Those Modern Rock bands who cater to the lowest common denominator by being as trendy as possible, you know those bands which make people think modern rock sucks. Let's begin!This ain't rock. It's a bad mix of heavy metal, R&B, and everything we hate about modern day pop music. If have a friend who (somehow) likes these guys, and I don't see how. I don't usually dislike music, but these guys, I'm sorry. They just ain't gonna cut it for me. I may mostly enjoy listen to Shakira, but I don't really have any preferences for music styles, it all depends on if they're actually good. Shakira has made pop, rock and rap songs before, and all have been good. Don't discriminate against the style of music, Do it based on if actually sounds good, feels good, and makes you happy. But Imagine Dragons, I have no love for.
You guys are all ridiculous. I am a huge fan of some of the greatest rock bands of all time, such as Queen, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, etc. And I have to say, Imagine Dragons is NOT killing rock. In fact, they are not even a rock band! In an interview in September of 2018 before their release of the album "Origins", Dan Reynolds said, "We are not a rock band. People see that we play loud and I that I can get a bit screamy, and so they stereotype us as a rock band, but we aren't going in that direction. If that's what people think than I'm sorry." So if you guys did a little more digging versus judging, you would see that Imagine Dragons is going more in the direction of pop/alternative. You guys need to get over all of your "feelings" about Imagine Dragons killing rock, because they aren't. Enough said.
They started out by ripping off bands like U2, and Radiohead in the 2000s and the music they made was incredibly boring. Now they're Similar to Imagine Dragons, which means they follow as trends as possible. They also collaborate with as much pop stars as possible Examples: Big Sean, Rihanna, The Chainsmokers, etc.
This a fruggin folk rock poppy mainstream band. Come on. They're 2% rock. This is what the description says: Cold play are a British Rock WTFFUU
Early Coldplay was good. But after Viva La Vida they turned so mainstream
Very tough decision. But Coldplay has the WORST NEW ROCK EVER
It's 2018 and people are still riding the "Nickelback hating" bandwagon. Can we please just agree that Nickelback isn't the worst?
Some of the most boring, and repetitive Post-Grunge music comes from this band. Their lyrics can be Sexist as well.
Seriously it's 2018 and hating on Nickleback is getting really old. Another thing here just because you don't like them dosen't mean they suck.
I forgot about these nobodies. I have always hated them but this seems outdated.
It's a shame how far Maroon 5 have fallen. In their earlier years, you could actually call them a "rock band" and not many people would disagree with you. They managed to incorporate funky grooves into a pop/alternative rock sound that was actually interesting to listen to. A lot of their old songs like "This Love", "She Will Be Loved", and "Makes Me Wonder" still hold up in my opinion. They were never amazing or anything like that, but at least they felt like a real band. Nowadays, their music is just uninspiring pop crap that feels like it was performed by one person as opposed to six people. It's also kind of funny that they're still called Maroon 5 when there's six of them now.
It's so Adam-centric these days. There's none of the mult-intrumental flair that they had and what rock has. Maroon 5 is solely pop now... Or at least matches the criteria for pop
For me they are not bad but they no longer have the same musical strength in those years
Their more recent work is the Same as Imagine Dragons.
I only like Ride by them. They're extremely overrated and not even rock. When I first heard that Twenty One Pilots were considered a rock band, I was extremely surprised. I never heard any electric guitars or complex compositions (like Metallica with complex compositions), much less any guitar or any instrumental solos. I don't like Twenty One Pilots, but I like Imagine Dragons Less.
I personally don't think of them as rock, but a lot of people do, and they have a lot of influence in the modern rock scene. This band's music is in insanely bad in my opinion. From the overly preachy lyrics to the crappy rapping, and singing. This band has it all to be a bad modern rock band.
I don't mind them. I feel like they manage to combine elements of pop, electronic, hip hop, and rock in a tasteful and interesting way. That's just me, though. I could totally see how someone could find their music boring and insufferable.
They've created their own style, really. Ode to sleep is something I've never heard anything like before, I think it's an overstatement to say they are killing rock.
These guys make Folk Rock look like a joke. Their overuse of the word Heart is so annoying, that it makes you wish to never hear the word again for the rest of your life. The lyrics are incredibly cheesy as well.
They aren't killing rock, they more so killed their own band. They switched from really amazing rock with their first two albums to weird anthem rock pop songs with this is war. But those were still good. After LLFD it just went downhill when they basically went all pop and electronic. I don't think anyone can hear a song off of AMERICA and say "that's rock." They are a pop band and their first 3 albums we're incredibly good and definitely did not kill rock. Most people acknowledge the fact that they are not trying to be rock anymore and it's really obvious they've moved away from that genre.
I don't want to hate 30 Seconds to Mars. I love their debut album and 'A Beautiful Lie', they have had a lot of great songs, and Jared Leto is a genuinely talented rock star. But the direction they've been going with their latest album has been very poor, they seem to have more or less abandoned their rock roots, and it just emphasizes that they'll never make another album like they used to.
What a shame.
They should have never released their debut back in 2002. Then this would have been much easier to say ; they suck suck suck... the only good thing they ever did was their debut album.
You can thank Chad K. of Nickelback for their record deal, because they are just like Nickelback, and they are on Nickelback's label.
What's Wrong with them?
I'm not usually into this sort of thing, but I really like Panic!
The singer sounds like the way a hippo's face looks.
Not exactly a rock band. They're quite good though.
They give pop punk a bad name. Their cover of American Idiot was garbage.
Just because they dress as scene kids doesn't make them rock.
This band is the definition of Bland Pop Punk, and Emo music. And just like a lot of other bands on this list they follow trends, like a "cool middle school kid".
The closer they get to electropop, the worse they get. Makes sense.
They are so lame now
You know.. Bands can't experiment and change genres.. Right? Whoever voted this onto the list is an absolute moron who has never heard of the words 'experiment' or 'change'. Linkin Park is quite an old band and their music genres have changed a bit so their music isn't repetitive or boring. I like their old metal and new electronic stuff.
All emo music is terrible. Let this band's legacy rot in hell forever.
First off, what a lame name for a band, I know that the name does not affect the quality of the music, but come on really, "The 1975"?! Apparently the name comes from the fact that the band got their influence from 70s, funk, but naming a band after a year in that decade is the most uncreative thing I can think of. That's like if I formed a Neo-Psychedelia band, and I choose to name the band "The 1967", see how lame that is? Moving on from the name now, The band's music is also very generic, both lyrically, and instrumentally. They also follow trends way too much.
I'll be honest, stupid name, music all sounds the same. Only good I can see in this band is their acoustic sessions which the singer seems to ruin regardless with his trash voice
They are an insult to other Manchester bands such as Oasis, the Smiths, and Joy Division.
The question is, where they ever enough to qualify as a 'rock band'?
Perfect example of Christian rockers turning into DEVILS!
No this band never killed rock.
If this was after that's the spirit well I'd get what u r at there, listen to their actual main genre though, youll be dead for days - Chelsea Smile should be your start - Nutty Nyc
That's the Spirit isn't awful.
A literal Led Zeppelin knockoff. They do not deserve to win any Grammys.
Struck by this young guns
