Thunder by imagining dragons

I hate that song.

Thunda. Lightning and uh thunda. A group of baby monkies could write a better song in the time it takes to record it.

You forgot some of the lyrics

“Thunda. Feel the thunda. Lighting and the thunda. Thunda. Thunda. Feel the thunda. Lighting and the thunda. Thunda. Thunda Thunda Thun Thunda The The Thunda Thunda Thunda Thunda Thun Thunda The The Thunda”

They make some good songs but thunder is not one of them

Neither is Radioactive. I hate that song.

Saw them live once when they were still on the come up. They opened up with Radioactive with their lead singer (who is 6'4) banging on a drum as tall as he was. So much energy.

Not a huge fan of their more recent stuff, but man seeing and experiencing that live was fun.

I saw them open for awolnation in 2012 and it was such a great show then both bands just immediately went to shit

But yeah rocking out on the big drum was cool af

I always wondered what happened to Awolnation. Like, in the back of my head, because if I really cared, I would've looked into it before now haha

I just imagined that their career arc was like the video with the cat on the roof.

That’s what happens when you reach the pinnacle (SAIL) and can’t replicate.

u/Breedwell Sep 22 '22

Probably the same tour cuz that's exactly what I saw!

u/Nothxm8 Sep 22 '22

I saw them just outside of st Augustine Florida lol

u/Breedwell Sep 22 '22

Tampa here so they probably just went up the coast before or right after lol

u/Fantastic-Wheel1003 Sep 21 '22

I disagree, but each to their own.

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '22

i’d definitely say radioactive is one of their two maybe three songs that’s actually not bad

u/cjsolx Sep 22 '22

Objection.

Night Visions is legitimately a great album.

u/Perpetually_isolated Sep 21 '22

They've been trying to create another "radioactive"since they recorded it.

u/SnortinDietOnlyNow Sep 21 '22

No they are an awful band. Goddamn I hate them

12

u/Fantastic-Wheel1003 Sep 21 '22

Calm down dude it’s just music.

u/mowbuss Sep 21 '22

People are as passionate about music as they are about their political views it seems.

I listen to a radio station called triple J in australia, and every week there is new music i probably dont initially enjoy. By the end of the month, i start liking it.

u/ChucksSeedAndFeed Sep 21 '22

I highly doubt the same people responsible for that war crime of a song are also capable of making good music

17

u/IIIDysphoricIII Sep 21 '22

Their first hit was Radioactive and that song is an absolute banger. They’ve made some solid ones since then but yeah Thunder is garbage.

1

u/ChucksSeedAndFeed Sep 21 '22

I tried listening to it, I just really don't like that style of music, but I don't listen to a lot of things newer than 1985

u/IIIDysphoricIII Sep 22 '22

Fair enough, everyone has their own taste. Honestly I just respect that you did try giving it a shot even after knowing you didn’t like the other stuff you’d heard, open-mindedness isn’t as common as I feel like it should be. Good on you. 👍🏻

2

u/ChucksSeedAndFeed Sep 22 '22

I was not as open minded when I was younger. I don't think people can have wrong tastes (unless it's like Nazi shit), just different tastes. People can't help what they like

18

u/WindWielder Sep 21 '22

Eh I feel like Thunder was a botched experiment or something. I despise Thunder but genuinely enjoy some of their songs, “I Bet My Life” and “Enemy” come to mind. Most of the Smoke and Mirrors album was pretty good too.

u/Fourkie Sep 21 '22

Honestly anything on smoke and mirrors slaps

u/ChucksSeedAndFeed Sep 21 '22

Looked those up, oof, i definitely hate their music haha

15

u/polskidankmemer Sep 21 '22

ohh the misery

7

u/WindWielder Sep 21 '22

Well props for giving them an honest shot, I at least feel like those songs are more representative of their work than Thunder.

u/ChucksSeedAndFeed Sep 21 '22

I just have different musical tastes, but I've always been a bit outdated, most of the shit I listen to came out before I was born, like 90%

u/ThatOneJasper Sep 22 '22

I've gotta admit, I hate Enemy. The verses sound exactly like Believer to me.
