and then Maroon 5 is the worst, truly one of the worst bands of all time

[Cheap Thrills 9.0]

My fave from the list: MGMT

Worst: Maroon 5

I am kinda surprised that only 1 person here has named Nickelback.

 

About 10 years ago, I was quite into Muse (I really enjoyed their singles from 2006 to 2012) and Arctic Monkeys (but not their 2009 singles).

 

I guess I will say that Fallout Boy is the worst.

If you include Coldplay, they’re the biggest. Quality-wise is tricky because they have very high highs, but also uninspired material. Florence and The Killers are the best, though.

 

Worst are Imagine Dragons, even Maroon 5 has some listenable bops.

this

 Coldplay discography is such a difficult thing to listen because they have some of the best albums I’ve ever heard (Parachutes, Ghost Stories) and then some noises 

 

best: Paramore, Tame Impala, MCR

worst: Panic, Maroon 5

I think ILIWYS is actually bigger. Their debut has just had more time for sales.

But out of the options that you've given, I'd say Paramore. They're my third favourite band overall. I love bands that aren't afraid to drastically switch it up, and they've done that several times. They have a song for every mood and occasion, whether you're after a fast paced pop-punk banger, an acoustic ballad, some dance-pop, or just a straightforward rock track, they've got it all. Versatility is also important to me in an artist because I tend to get bored quickly if their discography is very samey, which fortunately isn't the case with Paramore.

100% this. And that's why they're my favourite band. Their creativity is next level.

 

Best: Florence, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon and I would add Evanescence to my list (even though their career is full of wasted opportunities and potential sadly)

Worst: Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco - both of them failed to make a transition into something different and instead they started to make repetitive and pretty dull music. Loved the before, now I find them to be boring and uninspiring.

Worst: Maroon 5, were they ever a rock band?  

[Billionaire]

Best: Paramore, The Killers,  Florence, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, Tame Impala

 

Worst: Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy & Panic!
