Top 10 Best Pop Rock Artists

OneRepublic always has the best songs! They combine their songs beautifully and fluently. Ryan Tedder has one of the most underrated voices. He can hit notes perfectly. The whole band has such an impact on how pop rock is viewed nowadays. You can't find a song off Native that you won't like. Okay, maybe that was a little too much, but really, they have great songs. If you haven't heard Feel Again or Something I Need, I'd advise you to check them out. I'm sure you have already heard If I Lose Myself. Their songs put you in a great mood even if you're in the worst. Easily the best pop rock band and personally my favorite as well.

I used to be really into rap, but after I began to listen to OneRepublic, I couldn't stop! It's amazing how much you can really love songs after you listen to them. Great band, none of the lower bands or singers compare! Go OneRepublic!

Yes! I think they should be number one. Their songs are so catchy and awesome, but really meaningful at the same time! They're brilliant! And I don't care what the haters think, V was super awesome! My top 3 favorite songs ever are on V! Overexposed, Hands All Over, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, and Songs About Jane are also brilliant. Adam Levine is the best singer of all time (in my opinion). I was listening to This Love when I wrote this!

Maroon 5 stands out the most with their unique mix of rock, funk, and neo-soul. All of Maroon 5's songs are at least co-written by Adam Levine, and most of their songs are written by the band. Although OneRepublic hasn't collaborated with too many outside writers yet, there is a chance they are headed down that road. I hope not because I love them too, but Ryan Tedder's presence may warrant that. True, Ryan Tedder has written for others, including co-writing a few Maroon 5 songs, but Adam Levine has also collaborated with others in performing and songwriting, including with Gym Class Heroes and Slash.

Even though Maroon 5's music is now less rock than it used to be (whose music isn't nowadays?), it's still quality music with plenty of traces of their roots. It may be a little harder to tell under the modern production, songwriting, and instrumentation collaborations, but Maroon 5 is still the best pop rock band out there.

I cannot believe that anyone would think that Maroon 5 is in any way, shape, or form better than The Script (and this is coming from someone who absolutely loves Maroon 5 too). The Script should be number 1 or at least 2. They're just amazing and so consistent in their delivery of the most beautiful and soul-touching songs ever. They also write and produce all their songs themselves, so you know when they pour out their hearts on a track, that's really what they're feeling at that time.

The way I like to think about it is: whatever situation you're in, there's a The Script song for you. Come on, people, these Irish guys are incredible.

It's amazing that these guys are still going, and still going strong. I'm not sure that I would classify them as pop rock though. Their sound is just so unique that they almost are their own genre. Great band.

Honestly, I was perfectly okay with their new album, even though it was more pop than punk. They really know how to transition from the emo band they were to the pop-punk legends they are now.

Loved their old alt rock/pop rock stuff! Really unique and had some great tunes that sadly didn't get any appreciation. But their new music is pop. Still should be higher up.

Imagine Dragons are very underrated, but some of their songs get very popular in a short time. Listen to their new album. It's good. And Demons and Warriors are their absolute best.

This band is pure genius. Its lyrics are amazing, it has its own style, its music is amazing, and more. Also, Dream is a really good song, you all should try to listen to it a few times.

I used to hate them "because they are metal," but now I like them since they started mixing genres together. Radioactive is garbage, but Thunder and some others are AWESOME.

The Beatles may or may not deserve to be on an entirely different list of something "above pop rock." However, when you listen to the nature of their songs and compare them to those from other famous rock bands like The Rolling Stones and The Police, and artists like Elvis Presley, their music isn't that far from these pop rockers like Maroon 5, OneRepublic, and Train. No, I'm not saying that the newer ones are better than or as good as they were in music or legendary status. Yes, I'm saying these current bands listed are closer to the original essence of rock music than bands like Linkin Park or any other nu-metal or hardcore/metalcore bands. Maybe this got a little off-topic, but that's just a little spill.

Anyway, The Beatles definitely deserve to be at the top of this list because they were pop and rock (which aren't always different), had great music, and were/are one of the most influential and recognized artists of all time.

You can consider their two newest albums pop rock, but overall, they are alternative rock. However, they do incorporate pop elements into their newer albums because they like to experiment and come up with new sounds and ideas. They are by far the best in music, whether it's rock, pop rock, or alt rock. They don't really belong to any genre because they can pull off anything so beautifully.

From A Head Full of Dreams to their first album Parachutes, they have the most meaningful lyrics and the most amazing music, and they always try something new to intrigue their listeners. Each album is distinct from the next. They are still the same Coldplay since their first album. They just have different themes to their albums to show how they are feeling currently. Their quality of music is always at the top.

They should be #1, with all the Grammys and other awards they have won, and their immense popularity. They are by far the best band of the new millennium.

Yes! Avril deserves to be at least in the top 5, if not the first. She is such an inspiration to kids worldwide, and my parents love her music too. It has such a deep meaning in almost everything she writes. She is my idol - the best artist in the world!

I grew up listening to her songs without knowing that they were by her. When I really started to listen to music, I figured out that Avril was the rock goddess behind all of it. Now, I truly admire her, for she is so amazing. She never disappoints her fans and always comes out with great music. I love you, Avril!

One Direction has been number one in 37 countries. They also have better looks than any other band in history. Plus, they conquered the world in only one year, won so many Brit Awards that they had to make more just for them, and won a Global Success Award.

In October 2011, their first concert sold out in 10.7 seconds, which is a record. They also performed at the 2012 Olympic Games. They may have lost the seventh season of The X Factor UK, but they're more popular than the person who actually won it and have stolen the hearts of millions of girls across the world.

The queen of pop rock. This goddess needs to be number 1!

Pink is my queen. I love her. She and her music help me get through the day.

He is the definition of pop rock.

I am a huge fan of Train. I have listened to all of their greatest hits and best-selling songs. Patrick is really a great singer.

I have never heard one of their songs that doesn't have emotion. Definitely my favorite band.

This band is the best. Their music has evolved a lot since their first album, but I feel like the fans transitioned with them and now the band is greater than ever.

Hayley Williams is amazing. She is so kind. Yes, I've met her. She has an amazing voice, and I think she should be higher on the list, so check out their songs and vote for Paramore.

They are amazing! I personally think they need to be higher!

He is obviously the best on this list. I mean, hell no to One Direction, OneRepublic, and Katy Perry. They don't even make real music. It's just computer-generated lip-syncing crap that should never have been created. Elton John is organic, good, and authentic.

He is without a doubt the best pop rock artist. I find it laughable that bad fake pop rock artists such as Coldplay, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, and Katy Perry are above him. They all can't compare to John, and all of those artists are overrated and give pop rock a bad name.

This band saved my life! The first time I heard "You Found Me," I cried. Their songs have a powerful meaning. And Isaac Slade's voice is AMAZING. I have never heard a band more beautiful than them.

Just some quality music, great voice, deep and meaningful lyrics. Way better than most of the artists above. Just sad to see such talent being so underrated.

Why isn't this band higher on the list? How to Save a Life and Over My Head were huge hits back then!

The biggest reason why I hate America: Robbie Williams isn't on the music stations. Take That is on the 90's stations, but Robbie Williams needs to be introduced to the American public.

There isn't another artist that comes close to Robbie Williams. He's done some awesome rock songs and he is the king of pop rock.

Slane Castle 1999 has got to be the best pop rock gig I've ever been to.

Why are Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Demi Lovato on this list? They are NOT rock. My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, All Time Low, Fall Out Boy, Sum 41, and Paramore? I would add in all the classics (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Stone Roses), but they go without saying. - Daisy.

I love My Chemical Romance, although they changed their image after Black Parade. Still an awesome band. It's a massive shame that they had to break up after being together for so long.

I feel like this should be number 1. My Chemical Romance are like kings. There is nothing to hate about this band. You just can't.

The very best three-part harmony of all time (quote George Martin producer), the very best songwriters, and on the top 10 for five consecutive decades. No need to say more, they are the top!

They're the Bee Gees, the kings of disco. And what's more, their music is still not cringy in the slightest, unlike other disco-era groups. Stayin' Alive is probably one of the most recognizable tracks of all time, to say nothing of their other stuff.

Come on, guys, gotta help him and put him at number 1. Have you not seen his t-shirts, "KING OF POP"? He should be for the next 100 years at least. If you do not like him, sorry because you are a noob.

He's my idol, he's the reason I fell in love with music, he should be number one. All the voters are just teenage girls who think they know real music.

He is music! Michael Jackson is music! RIP the king of pop. We will remember your music forever.
