20. Thunder (TOP20.cz 2018/1, 2017)

“I like how in this one, Dan acknowledges everyone who is still in school. This one is a huge hit for everyone and the kind of song that you would play in the car with little kids so they can make fun of that weird voice.”

19. Roots (Roots, 2015)

“I love imagine dragons they help me so much. I had a really hard life and j still do but since I herd imagine dragons I can’t stop listening to them please make more songs I love you guys. Good job Plant roots is amazing I wish I could jet VIP tickets or any ticket to there concerts you guys need to play your last show in Boise my best friend said you guys were amazing I love you guys so much and keep playing”

18. Shots (Smoke + Mirrors, 2015)

“Okay pretty much all of the songs from Evolve are overrated. Believer, Whatever it Takes, Thunder, are not bad songs by any means, but there are so much better songs that not everyone I know who likes Imagine Dragons know about (actually, pretty much none of them) For example, pretty much all Smoke + Mirrors songs! My favorite is actually a very close tie between Monster, Warriors, I’m So Sorry, Friction, and Shots. Shots in particular is a ridiculously relatable song that sounds poppy and upbeat but has a sad meaning behind it and I love it so much. Gave me some crazy nostalgia when I listened to it for the first time in five years and I love it to death”

17. Whatever It Takes (Evolve, 2017)

“When they first released this song, I was immediately in love with it. I’ve been a fan for years now and was very proud to see the measures they took. I do love all of their old songs like Tokyo, Selene, All Eyes and practically all NV songs but this is just pure gold on the Evolve album”

16. Battle Cry (Battle Cry, 2014)

“The beat, the eeriness makes this a beautiful song. The background vocals are amazing and layered up beautifully. The beat is addictive and the lyrics are well thought out for the transformers soundtrack…”

15. Ready Aim Fire (Iron Man 3: Heroes Fall: Music Inspired by the Motion Picture, 2013)

“This song makes me feel so… Alive. It’s got such a unique sound to it and even though I love all of imagine dragons’ songs, this is one of their best ever. It’s got a… mood to it that you don’t see a lot. Angry, I guess tired is the word I’m looking for, but determined. I like it more than radioactive, and that’s a hard song to beat.”

14. Gold (Smoke + Mirrors, 2015)

“This is the best song by imagine dragons to me and I very carefully examined them thoroughly. I primarily judge the actual melody and musical verses as opposed to lyrics and this song has an amazing western feel with a touch of casino gambling action along with a sinister base verse that maintains true at a human level. It has the most engrossing riff and the most prominent crash of a climax. Every time the word “gold” is highlighted, it strikes true with perfect synchronized beat along with the background tune which never fails to climax and deliver the showdown impact that I always search for in a melody.”

13. I Bet My Life (Smoke + Mirrors, 2015)

“This song deserves 1st place or at least 3rd place. The lyrics are well-thought and very touching when listening to the song. Plus, the background instrumental and the chorus especially just takes this song to even greater heights.”

12. Tiptoe (Night Visions, 2012)

“This song takes a while to grow on you. But after a few listens, you start to like it a lot. Some complicated drums put a nice vibe to it. This is a hidden gem from Imagine Dragons. #2 for me. Love it.”

11. Round and Round (Night Visions, 2012)

“It’s like a dream. It full of emotion and feeling, how someone is trying to find their purpose in life and not just go on the same old boring routine like most people do. Overall it screams “life is short. Live it to the fullest! “

10. Nothing Left to Say / Rocks (Night Visions, 2012)

“Nothing Left to Say is a blatant ripoff of pre-existing melodic riff from the song by “Cake – Frank Sinatra”. Just listen to the riff easily heard from 2:54 to end and you will hear the exact same guitar instrumental. It’s heard throughout the song but it’s the predominant part of both songs and the reason why “nothing left to say” is so well written. Again, I don’t care about the lyrics and I am only pointing out that the song is pretty much the same melody as the predecessor in almost every melodic stage, both by build, climax, and major riff. I still give the song a high mark because it’s better than a lot of the majority of imagine dragons songs.”

9. Amsterdam (Night Visions, 2012)

“Got a great rhythm, some seriously good vocals that are full of emotion. The lyrics are absolutely brilliant. The word play between the singer and his mother, brother, and his (now ex) lover implies a despairing story without actually stating anything. On top of this abject disappointment is a strong message of hope that is only better because of the negativity that comes around it.”

8. On Top of the World (Night Visions, 2012)

“I just love how imagine dragons can change a few simple beats and make it into a proper song with percussion and guitar and everything. They even put in a few simple things like clapping and whistling that make all the difference. I love the song because it sounds so basic but awesome”

7. Believer (Evolve, 2017)

“These is there best song. It meaningful, crazy catching and inspirational. When listening, you feel there pain from Dan passionate voice. The song is deeper than you thought. The song that makes weak to be stronger, it makes you feel powerful. Probably the best song of the decade, Radioactive, demon and Root are good but this one is Super masterclass”

6. Warriors (Smoke + Mirrors, 2015)

“Before I listened to Warriors, I didn’t know what to do with my life. I heard about this song from my brother once. I decided to listen to it. From then on I never heard a better song. The only thing that might come close to this is Monster. I honestly think it should at least be #5 or higher. I do understand why there are songs that people think are better. Warriors just makes me feel optimistic even though there are a lot of happier and brighter songs. I mainly don’t know why this amazing song makes me so happy.”

5. Monster (Infinity Blade III, 2013)

“Beautiful song! Amazing lyrics. The line “If I told you what I was, would you turn your back on me” is a beautiful line. It gives emotion for a song with a tint of sadness. The line “I’ve turned into a monster” makes me feel sorry for the guy. It’s like Beauty And The Beast. The prince turns into a monster, and if Belle found out what he was, she’d turn her back on him or understand what he has been through. The beat goes with the song, the lyrics keep the meaning of the song in place. If you want to vote on a song, listen to this before you move on. Because, you may love it like me and vote on it from the beautiful lines.”

4. Bleeding Out (Night Visions, 2012)

“This one is perfect in every way. It’s just like Radioactive, but better. It’s got lyrics about how if you will have a relationship, then you will have to deal with the consequences. If it wasn’t for this song, then Radioactive would be in this place.”

3. It’s Time (Night Visions, 2012)

“It’s Time is a great song. It may be upbeat, but the melody contrasts that with the perfect amount of regular Imagine Dragons slow melody. Great feel-good song, but the instruments just don’t sound like a true masterpiece of Imagine Dragons work. However, it matches up to being a good song that gives fans something other than the regular slow, sad tempo and melody to listen to.”

2. Radioactive (Night Visions, 2012)

“This song has some wonderful vocals. The guitar-led “Woah” at the start makes you think it’s going to be a nice relaxing, acoustic song. But no. Instead, it drops the bass and gives you a digital rock song. The only annoying thing about this song is the snare drum. But, I am on board with this song.”

1. Demons (Night Visions, 2012)

“Great song. It has everything you’d expect in an Imagine Dragons masterpiece: it’s got a good rhythm that follows the usual Night Visions slow + sad melody, and it uses a variety of interesting sounds to back up the melody with a quality harmony. The bells work perfectly with the sad tune, and the buildup can be heard throughout the music until it is released during the chorus, when the violin and bells sound the best in harmony, working to back up the dramatic melody.”
