* "[[https://youtu.be/flLxVHYKeyk Ready Aim Fire]]", their contribution to the ''Film/IronMan3'' tie-in soundtrack ''Heroes Fall'', sounds worthier of Film/IronMan than almost all of the other songs on that soundtrack do.
* "[[https://youtu.be/zGbNbn8tB5k Monster]]", their ''VideoGame/InfinityBlade III'' song, epically expresses a torture caused from an inner turmoil, but also a determination to overcome that turmoil. Players can use the Imagine Dragons axe to make the song play every time they fight.
* "[[https://youtu.be/DlGjxlevw-Y Who We Are]]", a song they recorded for ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'', sounds like a fitting anthem for a political uprising, dedicating verses to both District 12 and President Snow.
* "[[https://youtu.be/5ZtMHSOq50Q Battle Cry]]", one of two songs they did for ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', takes a minute to build, but once it does? Oh boy... shit gets REAL.
* "[[https://youtu.be/fmI_Ndrxy14 Warriors]]", their anthem for the 2014 ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' World Championship, makes a powerful proclamation of undying ambition and competitive spirit. Even cooler is the fact that in-game SFX play during the song, namely, the sound of entering champion selection is heard at the start of the song, then the champion selected sound is heard before every chorus.

The first verse and chorus are very gentle, but the much more aggressive second verse slams you with a great organ part. And just when you think it's about to end, there's a wonderful minute-long section of scatting worthy of [[Music/TheBeatles "Hey Jude."]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0x-P5xmBHs Symphony]]" is an sweet, energetic, and earnest song about appreciating the people that matter in your life.

The song features a trumpet, trombobe, saxophone, and flute, all of which get called out in the lyrics, and one of the band's best guitar solos.

The "la da da da da" bit in the chorus is infectious, and Dan's singing is at its most passionate. But its best moment is probably the bit of silence in the bridge that really lets the line "This day could be your last" sink in.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi2PVsLTEXc Radioactive]]" manages to very effectively convey a post-apocalyptic feel. It's their most well known song for a reason.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybirL3EtMb8 live version]] arguably tops it by adding two minutes of drum-banging and violin-strumming before the final chorus.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHFfejYUX-U version]] featuring a rap buildup from Music/KendrickLamar? Awesome. The [[https://youtu.be/nBpGAm_rnSU live version at the Grammys]] featuring Kendrick Lamar mashing up both "Radioactive" and "M.A.A.D. City"? God damn.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajjj4pLnjz8 Tiptoe]]" has everything that makes Imagine Dragons great: epic beats, big chorus, electronic-rock sound, and apocalyptic but hopeful lyrics.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENM2wA_FTg It's Time]]" really shows off how awesome Dan Reynolds's vocals are.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5tWYmIOWGk On Top of the World]]" is the happiest song they've done, and it makes you wanna dance.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Nc4qEI3k4 Amsterdam]]" gives Music/{{Coldplay}} a run for their epic, anthemic pop songwriting money.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEoxeW7JvQ Bleeding Out]]" is plain epic, what with that bass drum and lyrics about sacrifice.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6zqH6qKaTU Nothing Left To Say]]", especially the bridge before the last chorus, with the windy sound effect and Dan Reynolds's wail of "I'm drowning in the waters of my SOOOUUULLL".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLxVHYKeyk Ready Aim Fire]]", their contribution to the ''Film/IronMan3'' tie-in soundtrack ''Heroes Fall'', sounds worthier of Film/IronMan than almost all of the other songs on that soundtrack do.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmI_Ndrxy14 Warriors]]", their anthem for the 2014 ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' World Championship, makes a powerful proclamation of undying ambition and competitive spirit. Even cooler is the fact that in-game SFX play during the song, namely, the sound of entering champion selection is heard at the start of the song, then the champion selected sound is heard before every chorus.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQrgto184Tk Shots]]" combines some emotionally wrenching self-loathing lyrics with infectious synthesized beats.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ht80uzIhNs I Bet My Life]]" is a power ballad worthy of Olympic Games montages, and it was written as an apology to the singer's uber-religious Mormon family, who disapproved of him going into music.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKkkIxSQ9wE It Comes Back to You]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTsbz5fW8-M Summer]]" both tie for the best song off ''Smoke + Mirrors'', both being irresistibly groovy tracks with immense guitar licks and catchy drum parts. And man, that theremin on "Summer".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trig1MiEo1s Not Today]]", their song from ''Me Before You'', is another sad song, and is much more minimalist, showing that Imagine Dragons can be awesome with nothing but piano and Dan's voice.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl3ELiPXFRo Gold]]", an incredibly epic and powerful song about how AmbitionIsEvil, has some of their strongest drums ever. The vocals are also incredible, whether soft or screamed, the "NUTSAAAACK" Mondegreen aside.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pJbS2iw0vQ I'm So Sorry]]" is one of the most hard-hitting songs on the album ''Smoke + Mirrors'', with an earth-shaking drum and guitar lick and powerful vocals to back it up.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0a9k1gSMsw Levitate]]" is one of Imagine Dragons's most heartwarming songs, with excellent vocal harmonies to boot.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuLTEUgwEXo Polaroid]]" has incredibly fast singing, a ridiculously catchy melody, and amazing layered voices in the chorus. Each repetition of the chorus gets more intense, meaning guaranteed chills by the third repetition.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wtfhZwyrcc Believer]]", their first solo single in two years, has a pulse-pounding backbeat that is greatly accentuated by the fluid and fast-paced rap-sung lyrics. Even better is that, after the incredibly melancholy tone of ''Smoke + Mirrors'', this song has a fantastic message of learning to pick yourself up after the bad times and keep pushing on towards a brighter future.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKopy74weus Thunder]]", especially with its roaring chorus and use of drums. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx2bqTe39mQ remix]] with K.Flay and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydPYNo8o-lI medley]] with Khalid and his song "Young, Dumb and Broke" (itself an example of awesome music) is awesome as well.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOsM-DYAEhY Whatever it Takes]]", with an incredibly fast opening and pounding drums. It rivals "Believer" as the most inspirational song from ''Evolve''.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nv9br7P7g0 Walking the Wire]]", a very sweet love song further enhanced by clapping, soothing synth beats, and some of Dan's best vocals.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2BUaJm-D5Q Yesterday]]" is a joyous celebration of everywhere Dan has been and everywhere he's going. The rhythms and backing vocals are great, even by the high standards of the band.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_rvt0SwLE Next to Me]]", a true TearJerker about a man's wife who sticks with him in spite of all the problems. Dan's self-loathing comes in strongly, and it has RealitySubtext regarding his divorce. Add some of Dan's best singing, and you have a classic.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I647GU3Jsc Natural]]", another very inspirational song, has the same rapid singing as the others, but also opens with an otherworldly humming. Add in a pounding beat, and you can see why ESPN used it.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqAauanvEew Zero]]", their song from ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', is incredibly catchy and heartwarming, with Dan's incredibly fast singing as the cherry on top.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BahtnT13vH8 Machine]]", a somewhat old-fashioned protest song enhanced by Dan's passionate voice and excellent electronic instruments.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQB4oNpGuDw West Coast]]" is incredibly sweet, and its acoustic guitar and backing vocals are simply heavenly.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kccoaih2sF0 Birds]]" is already quite a powerful song thanks to its percussion, but the passionate vocals from Italian singer Elisa in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ-BPdkoSMw this remix]] are beautiful.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DoI5WTjd3w Follow You]]" has epic drums and excellent scatting in the chorus. It takes everything that works from the band's love songs and adds the bombast of their inspirational songs.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89xtgEk9jTo Cutthroat]]" has some of Dan's best singing, with incredibly clean scream-singing and a catchy pre-chorus.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDT9LkrrVc My Life]]" has an almost Broadway feel to its melody, with epic violins and excellent arpeggios backing it up. The lamenting lyrics cinch it as a worthy opener to ''Mercury -- Act 1''.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUbTU1ojKho Lonely]]" has a very soul vibe to it, with plaintive vocals from Dan and a truly fantastic bridge.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5tSoaJ93ac Enemy]]" is an epic intro to ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'' that has an equally epic pre-chorus beat drop. [[MemeticMutation Oh, the misery]]...

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nv9br7P7g0 Walking the Wire]]", a very sweet love song further enhanced by clapping, soothing synth beats, and some of Dan's best vocals.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2BUaJm-D5Q Yesterday]]" is a joyous celebration of everywhere Dan has been and everywhere he's going. The rhythms and backing vocals are great, even by the high standards of the band.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_rvt0SwLE Next to Me]]", a true TearJerker about a man's wife who sticks with him in spite of all the problems. Dan's self-loathing comes in strongly, and it has RealitySubtext regarding his divorce. Add some of Dan's best singing, and you have a classic.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I647GU3Jsc Natural]]", another very inspirational song, has the same rapid singing as the others, but also opens with an otherworldly humming. Add in a pounding beat, and you can see why ESPN used it.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqAauanvEew Zero]]", their song from ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', is incredibly catchy and heartwarming, with Dan's incredibly fast singing as the cherry on top.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BahtnT13vH8 Machine]]", a somewhat old-fashioned protest song enhanced by Dan's passionate voice and excellent electronic instruments.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQB4oNpGuDw West Coast]]" is incredibly sweet, and its acoustic guitar and backing vocals are simply heavenly.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kccoaih2sF0 Birds]]" is already quite a powerful song thanks to its percussion, but the passionate vocals from Italian singer Elisa in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ-BPdkoSMw this remix]] are beautiful.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DoI5WTjd3w Follow You]]" has epic drums and excellent scatting in the chorus. It takes everything that works from the band's love songs and adds the bombast of their inspirational songs.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89xtgEk9jTo Cutthroat]]" has some of Dan's best singing, with incredibly clean scream-singing and a catchy pre-chorus.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDT9LkrrVc My Life]]" has an almost Broadway feel to its melody, with epic violins and excellent arpeggios backing it up. The lamenting lyrics cinch it as a worthy opener to ''Mercury -- Act 1''.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUbTU1ojKho Lonely]]" has a very soul vibe to it, with plaintive vocals from Dan and a truly fantastic bridge.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5tSoaJ93ac Enemy]]" is an epic intro to ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'' that has an equally epic pre-chorus beat drop. [[MemeticMutation Oh, the misery]]...

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi2PVsLTEXc "[[https://youtu.be/zi2PVsLTEXc Radioactive]]" manages to very effectively convey a post-apocalyptic feel. It's their most well known song for a reason.
** The[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybirL3EtMb8 [[https://youtu.be/ybirL3EtMb8 live version]] arguably tops it by adding two minutes of drum-banging and violin-strumming before the final chorus.
** The[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHFfejYUX-U [[https://youtu.be/CHFfejYUX-U version]] featuring a rap buildup from Music/KendrickLamar? Awesome. The [[https://youtu.be/nBpGAm_rnSU live version at the Grammys]] featuring Kendrick Lamar mashing up both "Radioactive" and "M.A.A.D. City"? God damn.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajjj4pLnjz8 "[[https://youtu.be/ajjj4pLnjz8 Tiptoe]]" has everything that makes Imagine Dragons great: epic beats, big chorus, electronic-rock sound, and apocalyptic but hopeful lyrics.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENM2wA_FTg "[[https://youtu.be/sENM2wA_FTg It's Time]]" really shows off how awesome Dan Reynolds's vocals are.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5tWYmIOWGk "[[https://youtu.be/w5tWYmIOWGk On Top of the World]]" is the happiest song they've done, and it makes you wanna dance.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Nc4qEI3k4 "[[https://youtu.be/s6Nc4qEI3k4 Amsterdam]]" gives Music/{{Coldplay}} a run for their epic, anthemic pop songwriting money.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEoxeW7JvQ "[[https://youtu.be/gJEoxeW7JvQ Bleeding Out]]" is plain epic, what with that bass drum and lyrics about sacrifice.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6zqH6qKaTU "[[https://youtu.be/Q6zqH6qKaTU Nothing Left To Say]]", especially the bridge before the last chorus, with the windy sound effect and Dan Reynolds's wail of "I'm drowning in the waters of my SOOOUUULLL".
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLxVHYKeyk "[[https://youtu.be/flLxVHYKeyk Ready Aim Fire]]", their contribution to the ''Film/IronMan3'' tie-in soundtrack ''Heroes Fall'', sounds worthier of Film/IronMan than almost all of the other songs on that soundtrack do.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGbNbn8tB5k "[[https://youtu.be/zGbNbn8tB5k Monster]]", their ''VideoGame/InfinityBlade III'' song, epically expresses a torture caused from an inner turmoil, but also a determination to overcome that turmoil. Players can use the Imagine Dragons axe to make the song play every time they fight.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlGjxlevw-Y "[[https://youtu.be/DlGjxlevw-Y Who We Are]]", a song they recorded for ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'', sounds like a fitting anthem for a political uprising, dedicating verses to both District 12 and President Snow.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZtMHSOq50Q "[[https://youtu.be/5ZtMHSOq50Q Battle Cry]]", one of two songs they did for ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', takes a minute to build, but once it does? Oh boy... shit gets REAL.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmI_Ndrxy14 "[[https://youtu.be/fmI_Ndrxy14 Warriors]]", their anthem for the 2014 ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' World Championship, makes a powerful proclamation of undying ambition and competitive spirit. Even cooler is the fact that in-game SFX play during the song, namely, the sound of entering champion selection is heard at the start of the song, then the champion selected sound is heard before every chorus.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQrgto184Tk "[[https://youtu.be/qQrgto184Tk Shots]]" combines some emotionally wrenching self-loathing lyrics with infectious synthesized beats.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ht80uzIhNs "[[https://youtu.be/4ht80uzIhNs I Bet My Life]]" is a power ballad worthy of Olympic Games montages, and it was written as an apology to the singer's uber-religious Mormon family, who disapproved of him going into music.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKkkIxSQ9wE "[[https://youtu.be/xKkkIxSQ9wE It Comes Back to You]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTsbz5fW8-M "[[https://youtu.be/kTsbz5fW8-M Summer]]" both tie for the best song off ''Smoke + Mirrors'', both being irresistibly groovy tracks with immense guitar licks and catchy drum parts. And man, that theremin on "Summer".
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trig1MiEo1s "[[https://youtu.be/trig1MiEo1s Not Today]]", their song from ''Me Before You'', is another sad song, and is much more minimalist, showing that Imagine Dragons can be awesome with nothing but piano and Dan's voice.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl3ELiPXFRo "[[https://youtu.be/Rl3ELiPXFRo Gold]]", an incredibly epic and powerful song about how AmbitionIsEvil, has some of their strongest drums ever. The vocals are also incredible, whether soft or screamed, the "NUTSAAAACK" Mondegreen aside.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pJbS2iw0vQ "[[https://youtu.be/5pJbS2iw0vQ I'm So Sorry]]" is one of the most hard-hitting songs on the album ''Smoke + Mirrors'', with an earth-shaking drum and guitar lick and powerful vocals to back it up.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0a9k1gSMsw "[[https://youtu.be/z0a9k1gSMsw Levitate]]" is one of Imagine Dragons's most heartwarming songs, with excellent vocal harmonies to boot.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuLTEUgwEXo "[[https://youtu.be/UuLTEUgwEXo Polaroid]]" has incredibly fast singing, a ridiculously catchy melody, and amazing layered voices in the chorus. Each repetition of the chorus gets more intense, meaning guaranteed chills by the third repetition.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wtfhZwyrcc "[[https://youtu.be/7wtfhZwyrcc Believer]]", their first solo single in two years, has a pulse-pounding backbeat that is greatly accentuated by the fluid and fast-paced rap-sung lyrics. Even better is that, after the incredibly melancholy tone of ''Smoke + Mirrors'', this song has a fantastic message of learning to pick yourself up after the bad times and keep pushing on towards a brighter future.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKopy74weus "[[https://youtu.be/fKopy74weus Thunder]]", especially with its roaring chorus and use of drums. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx2bqTe39mQ [[https://youtu.be/mx2bqTe39mQ remix]] with K.Flay and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydPYNo8o-lI [[https://youtu.be/ydPYNo8o-lI medley]] with Khalid and his song "Young, Dumb and Broke" (itself an example of awesome music) is awesome as well.

Using "epic" twice so close together reads awkwardly.
