Imagine Dragons?
Imagine a better band.
Fuck Smokey Robinson, and 80% of all Motown.
Fuck post-"Walk The Line" Aerosmith.
Joy Division - oh, dear Lord fuck them.
Lou Reed - arguably the most overrated musician of all time. Fuck him, for sure.
If you have unwanted guests at your house after the party is over, or a vermin infestation (often the same thing), put on Reed's collaboration with Metallica, "Lulu".

The Flaming Lips - if you need a confetti cannon, and 50 people on stage, dressed like elves as a distraction from how lousy your lead singer is, your band sucks.
Yoko Ono - a parasitic tick that refuses to go away. Here's her interpretation of Katy Perry's "Firework". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrJz9Dh5MsM
I'll stop now, but I could go on.
*EDIT - Captain Beefheart, the biggest (and worst) inside joke in the history of the music business. Unlistenable filth.
I've always wondered what it was like in New York in the 60s that made Lou Reed such a name. He doesn't have much talent but damn he sure is revered. Just dumb luck maybe?
Frank Zappa wasn't a rock musician so he shouldn't be on the list. I'd argue he was a musical genius but the majority of his music is not accessible at all.
Q: What's yellow and lives off of dead beatles? A: Yoko Ono.
