they have like what, two good songs? (I actually don't know anything about their deep cuts, enlighten me).

Bohemian Rhapsody is overrated and Another One Bites the Dust is actually a bad song.

Those are just two of their great songs.

Fat Bottomed Girls
We Will Rock You/We are the Champions
Somebody to Love
Don't Stop Me Now
Bicycle Race
Killer Queen
Keep Yourself Alive
Under Pressure

That's just off the top of my head. Their range is amazing

idk, that list of songs doesn't really show much of a range. I'd (completely seriously) posit that RHCP have a much, much larger range than that.

RHCP just released a new album (The Getaway) and only one song got radio play for a few weeks. Imagine Dragons just released a new album (Evolve) and three of its songs are huge hits that are constantly being played on the radio.

By all logic, Imagine Dragon blows RHCP out of the water. You could argue that all together, RHCP has more hits but it took them decades to achieve that. Looking a the ratios between years/albums/hits, again, Imagine Dragons crushes RHCP.

I like the cut of your gib. (even though you're wrong, Dark Necessities, Go Robot, and Goodbye Angels all got a decent amount of radio play. DN is still played, even)

Imagine dragons have sold over 9 million records, and they've been active since 2008. 9/9 = 1 million records per year on avg.

RHCP have sold over 80 million records, and they've been active since 1983. 80/34 = 2.35 million records per year on avg.

***Note*** records sold per year will never convince me, I just wanted to put the imagine dragons train down while I'm still awake

"Dark Necessities" was the album's flagship but it will never achieve the same status and fame as "Believer". Take a look at the view counts...

RHCP is still one of the most influential bands for the genre but nowadays, Imagine Dragons are king.

Normally, I would accept this evidence but RHCP has 8 additional albums over Imagine Dragons. They have a larger pool of songs/albums to choose from.

yeah and RHCP released their biggest album in 1991, when there were 5.2 billion people on earth, compared to 7.6 billion nowadays in the age of globalism. We can nit-pick over this shit all day, but we're not going to get anywhere doing it.

Not a fair comparison since music sales have only dropped with time due online piracy and streaming.
Compare the 3 ID albums with the 2 RHCP albums in that time and ID blows them away, then compare just singles in that time period and it's an even bigger blowout.

RHCP could release their best sellers today and they wouldn't have sold nearly as much. The game has changed so you can't compare 1:1

RHCP wouldn't even exist without George Clinton. He was by and large their sole influence for their style of music be and they even had him produce an album for them. George Clinton has even more critical acclaim than their best material and has had an even longer career that's still going and he's been extremely influencal in far more genres such as disco, soul, funk, R&B, hip hop, rap, rock, psychedelic, and pop. There are many artists across a wide range of music that cite him as a favorite or primary influencer, RHCP included. He's also shown to be able to write straightforward catchy bangers as well as more complex dense work. His reach has expanded well outside of the funk that he's most known for and into things with RHCP, Flying Lotus, Kendrick Lamar, and many more.

By practically every metric he's the better artist, the more important artist, the more influencal artist, and has shown the more technical skill across more genres than RHCP.

I'll take my Benji now.

If you were trying to convince me of influence/producers, I'd be handing you the $100 this second. But it's not about that, and I don't think his solo work is anything that super special (and I think rhcp still has a larger range).
