Cut him some slack. He grew up in the hip hop generation when even "Rock" music

Pearl Jam was good for their first 2 or maybe 2 1/2 half albums.

Their first 2.5 are really good. But venture into some of the later stuff and

Wait- are you saying ID was Good last night or people are wrong to say they were bad if they grew up in

Im saying that people are using last nights performance as an example of why imagine dragons sucks.

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 8:51am

There’s plenty of examples of why Imagine Dragons suck.

Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha!!!!!

jazzfan1232

They're using it as "an example of why imagine dragons sucks'...

CoachSpeak

You can't seriously think Nirvana is mediocre music.

SandYFan

1/8/19 9:03am

I honestly do, and I think that Cobain was a complete tool (which many of his supporters will agree with)

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 9:05am

Well.

SandYFan

1/8/19 9:18am

Except he’s one of the greatest musicians to ever live.

macaroni

1/8/19 9:59am

I’ll say it....I hate Nirvana

Lifi

1/8/19 9:32am

Bands from the 70s, 80s could perform live.

Belboz

1/8/19 9:07am

Some of it did; but I’ll take grunge over superskinny jeans and overgroomed hair

Extra Biscuits

quite honestly, I don't care what they wear.

Belboz

That clip is hilarious.

durandal

1/8/19 9:09am

Please tell me you’re joking. Please.

Mr. Belding

1/8/19 9:09am

Here's a list of 90's bands that are exponentially better than Imagine Dragons:

Rise Against

1/8/19 9:15am

Yep and we could go on and on.

Mr. Belding

1/8/19 9:21am

Most of those are true, however...

Misteak

1/8/19 9:22am

No, those are all 10 times better than Imagine Dragons

Mr. Belding

1/8/19 9:30am

Wow, I'd say that every song on RATM first album is better than anything ID

Diablo and Doc

1/8/19 9:37am

Rage is absolutely better than Imagine Dragons

wildcoug

1/8/19 9:43am

If Imagine Dragons ever gets a song like Motorcycle Driveby or Wounded, maybe we can talk.

chago04

1/8/19 10:06am

"90's bands"

Dissenter

1/8/19 9:43am

Made a few corrections to your list.

Not On Sunday

1/8/19 2:09pm

Ozzy should be on that list.

There may be some truth to that although I think most of us know what we like...

It's Terrible Take Tuesday, featuring monkeycowboy!

LaVellIfIKnow

Now I’ve got to defend Nirvana and Pearl Jam in addition to Imagine Dragons?

Misteak

1/8/19 9:17am

Don't worry, I'd still eat your cancer when you turn black.

Hey. Hey.

Misteak

1/8/19 9:23am

If tou think ID ks better than Pearl Jam you must be under 14.

RalphWiggam

1/8/19 9:23am

This Eddie Vedder performance is a million times better

Rise Against

1/8/19 9:26am

1986 was the best year for music ever.

Jeffacka

1/8/19 9:29am

1987 was better.

flavordave

1/8/19 9:54am

My favorite album of all time came out in 1987.

Jeffacka

1/8/19 1:13pm

Also Van Halen: 5150, Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet

WhiteKnight

1/8/19 10:07am

Thumbs down to Bon Jovi.

Jeffacka

Peaches are delicious.

Jay Rick

1/8/19 10:18am

While I agree that late 80's and 90's music is nothing to get excited about...

CoachSpeak

1/8/19 9:43am

Educate yourself. Nirvana is one of the top five most influential bands of all

macaroni

1/8/19 9:59am

Cobain gets the same treatment JFK does. He is over inflated because he died not because he was great. You really just

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 10:05am

Thats not true at all. He got the same treatment in life, too.

macaroni

1/8/19 10:14am

I guess we will just agree to disagree then. You make some interesting points not sure i agree with them though.

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 10:23am

I never said it was linear. Some things are linear to be sure, while some are

macaroni

1/8/19 10:30am

Im good with where im at. I get that people like Nirvana. Ill chalk that up to nostalgia more than anything.

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 10:36am

I love when my favorite station plays some Bach in the morning

wildcoug

1/8/19 10:47am

This is pretty much false. My kids (teenagers) are big fans of Nirvana and I've

Rise Against

1/8/19 10:55am

Like I said, you listen to Nirvana every single day but don’t even realize it.

macaroni

1/8/19 11:06am

VH1 has a great show called “classic albums: nirvana - nevermind”. Watch it.

macaroni

1/8/19 10:33am

let rick help

Funke

1/8/19 10:26am

I love the way that guy breaks down songs. Especially Tool stuff. He's good.

Rise Against

1/8/19 10:32am

That's why country music became so big in the 90s. 90s country is considered one of the best decades for country music.

kirty

1/8/19 11:01am

i like country. I hate 90s country. Shania Twain and Faith Hill? Eh, no

Dissenter

The Board Imbecile

That's like saying "the best decade of the Black Plague was the 1340's".

Thumbs down for the Yahtzee. Although I did laugh.

You don’t play the guitar, bass, or drums, do you? The talent level from bands

Reminds me of an Eddie Murphy bit I heard recently where he was talking about James Brown lyrics and how he imagined

cheezedawg

1/8/19 12:49pm

It was a bad performance.

crazY

1/8/19 12:32pm

I like IG quite a bit, but you've gone too far, sir, with your 90s bashing.

goldy

1/8/19 2:33pm

The name alone "Imagine Dragons" makes them not viable as good band

WJCougar

1/8/19 2:57pm

Bad take is bad. Let me guess, you love Bruno Mars and Post Malone?

shatter2

1/8/19 3:04pm

Mars yes Malone no. Mars is a very talented musician.

monkeycowboy

1/8/19 3:12pm

Anyone that says Bruno Mars isn't good nor talented can meet me at the flag pole

crazY

1/8/19 4:00pm

90’s hip hop was the greatest, and almost nothing since has come close
