There's not a single Finger Eleven song that could be considered "iconic"

I'm confused, if Finger Eleven were trying to rip off this song, why didn't they keep the mediocrity?

Your weird hatred for Finger Eleven doesn't change the fact Paralyzer has nearly 300 million plays on Spotify.

Maroon 5's "What Lovers Do" is a shameless ripoff of "Sexual" by NEIKED. Has the same underlying beat, similar vocals going into the chorus, just some additional effects that make it sound bad.

I know the word is grossly overused these days, but you can't really think every top 8 hit in history is 'iconic'.

That Finger Eleven song is so basic dull once they've played the riff and sunk back to the bog standard verse melody.

At least Franz Ferdinand do something slightly more interesting with structure.

Paralyzed was always a song that made me race to switch the radio. At best a guilty pleasure, but usually just eat pain.

This thread unironically made me think less of Take Me Out. There's still something in the chorus that's fun, I think it's the layering of the backup singer, but the intro sucks and the melody is kinda basic.

Disturbed's "Remember" is a rip off of Pro Pain's "Time".

They are certainly not similar enough to warrant any claims of "ripped off".

Take Me Out is I, IV, V in Em.

Paralyzer is I, IV, III in Em.

Strum rhythms don't actually match-up aside from their staccato articulation.

You don't know what iconic means.

And that's not an opinion.

But I won't make the mistake of taking you seriously.
