Coldplay is one of the least Original bands ever. Most if not all of their songs are rip-offs. They also ripped off their sound from Radiohead, and U2.

2 Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons is an American pop rock band from Provo, Utah, and are now based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Imagine Dragons' lineup consists of lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman. The band first gained exposure with the release of their single "It's Time", followed by their award-winning debut studio album Night Visions (2012), which resulted in the chart-topping singles "Radioactive" and "Demons". Rolling Stone named "Radioactive", which holds the record for most weeks charted on the Billboard Hot 100, the "biggest rock hit of the year".

Almost all of their songs sound the same, and they sound very generic.

5 Mumford & Sons Mumford & Sons are a British indie folk band from London, formed in 2007. The band consists of Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane.

I really like them. How can they be boring with that banjo anyways? They may not be rappers, but they weren't afraid to drop the F bomb in Little Lion Man, and I am proud that they can swear in a proper way. But you don't have to like them.

This band's music is so boring to listen to. They say Heart to much, Meh Songwriting, and really boring sound.
